Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Objectives:

To understand and apply machine learning methods in the field of meteorology.

Contents:

Overview of machine learning methods
Concepts of Machine Learning
Regressions and classifications
Clustering and dimension reduction
Decision trees
Artificial Neural Networks

Teaching via lecture (Powerpoint) and computer exercises

Assessment and permitted materials

Multiple Choice Test for Lecture Topics in last Lecture Unit (Proportion of total evaluation: 40 %)
One Test with Programming Tasks at end of last exercise block (Proportion of total evaluation: 30 %)
One Presentation on a meteorological machine learning topic from literature (Proportion of total evaluation: 30 %)

In multiple-choice tests no tools are allowed, in computer tasks any tools are allowed

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Points of the individual partial performances are weighted, added up, standardized to the maximum points to be achieved and converted into a grade with the following key:

Score Key: 0-49.99%: 5, 50.00-62.49%: 4, 62.50-74.99%: 3, 75:00-87.49%: 2, > 87.50%: 1

Examination topics

Lecture content will be tested via multiple choice test

In addition, students must present a paper on a meteorological AI application from the literature.

The material from the exercises must be applied in the form of Python computer exercises.

Reading list

The Elements of Statistical Learning (Trevor Hastie, Robert Tibshirani, Jerome Friedman)
An Introduction to statistical Learning (Gareth James, Daniela Witten, Robert Tibshirani, Jerome Friedman)
Python Machine Learning (Sebastian Raschka, Vahid Mirjalili)
Python Machine Learning by Example (Yuxi Hayden Liu)
