News

  • Due to the student body meeting the seminar on October 28th will start at 9 am.
  • Take a look at the Coursera Machine Learning course. If you are new to the field, the online course is a good way to get an overview.

Description

Machine Learning is a rapidly growing area of research on the intersection of applied mathematics, informatics, and computational science. With advances in the machine learning theory and algorithms as well es with increasing amount of data and complexity of the models, development of fast, efficient and scalable algorithms increasingly gains importance. Hereby the range of applied techniques spreads from exploiting embarrassingly parallel tasks in a data-centric fashion to approximation methods with satisfying error limits.

In the seminar we are going to focus on the advanced methods for machine learning with particular interest in handling large-scale problems. While some topics would deal with the complete learning algorithms, others would focus on efficient solution of subtasks common for many different algorithms, e.g. nearest neighbors search or MCMC sampling.

Prerequisites

The seminar is intended for computer science bachelor students in advanced semesters and the master students with focus on computer science, computational science and engineering, or robotics and artificial intelligence.

If you want to participate, you are expected to have knowledge of fundamentals of applied mathematics, such as linear algebra, probability theory, calculus, and convex optimisation. As we will cover advanced topics, some general understanding of the basic concepts of machine learning is required.

Moreover, you should have programming experience in at least one programming language. Understanding of basic concepts of computational science is desirable, so if you know what SIMD, MISD, NUMA, MPI, GPGPU, and HDF5 mean, you are on the safe side.

Application

If you feel like a data science unicorn we are looking for, please follow the link to application (was available from July 10th until July 15th, same period as the matching system) and send us the information about your background and experience, 3 preferred topic (ranked) or your own topic suggestions, as well as your expectations from the seminar.

Additionally, you are required to register for the seminar in the matching system.
