In the winter term, the course is primarily held online. Pre-recorded lectures are published on a weekly basis, typically on Fridays. There are no weekly in-person review sessions. Rather, individual review sessions are scheduled over the course of the semester to prepare and discuss the assignments and exams. Besides these review sessions, interactions between students and tutors are primarily via the discussion forum on Moodle.

Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Algorithms for data analysis are often based on the assumption of independent and identically distributed (i.i.d) data. The world, however, often violates the first "i", i.e., it generates data with a rich spatial and temporal structure such as time-series and images. Representing, understanding, and processing this structure is the domain of signal processing. As such, a firm grasp of signal processing is essential to understand structure in data and design systems that exploit this structure.In the first part of this course, we will approach signal processing from the perspective of linear time-invariant (LTI) systems, i.e., we will consider signals as outputs of LTI-systems [1]. This approach will lead us to study the discrete(-time) Fourier transform (D(T)FT) and its applications, including sampling and filter design. In the second part of the course, we will study several variants and extensions of the Fourier transform, including the Hilbert-, Discrete Cosine- and Wavelet transforms. In the third part of the course, we will take an alternative approach to signal processing and consider signals as realizations of stationary stochastic processes [2]. This will lead us to the field of stochastic spectral analysis. We will conclude the course with an introduction to information theory and compression algorithms, e.g., the Lempel-Ziv-Welch (LZW) algorithm that is used in data formats such as ZIP and TIFF.The lectures are complemented by tutorials, pen & paper exercises and coding assignments on simulated and experimental data to foster a deeper understanding of the topics covered in the lectures.
Assessment and permitted materials
There will be three assignments (one preliminary math test, one pen & paper assignment, and one Pythong coding exercise), one mid-term exam, and one final exam. The various assignments and exams count towards the final grade as follows:* Assignments: 51%
* Two feedback sheets: 4%
* Midterm: 20%
* Final: 25%In addition, you can earn up to 10% of bonus points by answering questions on Moodle about the pre-recorded videos prior to each review session.We take cheating very seriously! We will make use of plagiarism and code checking tools. Some examples of plagiarism that will lead to an 'X' include:* Giving code (or text/math) to another student
* Give screenshot of code (or text/math) to another student
* Copy code (or text/math) from somebody else
* Copy code (or text/math) from the internet without our explicit permission
* Create code (or text/math) for others
* Let other people (or AIs) create code (or text/math) for yourselfWe do encourage you to discuss the course content with your peers, but anything you submit must be your own work! In case of doubt, ask us and/or cite your sources!
