Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Goals:
Upon successful participation in the course, students will understand the fundamentals of machine learning and how to apply basic machine learning approaches/ideas in theory and practice.

Lecture Contents:
* What is Machine Learning?
* Basic Machine Learning pipelines
* Linear models for regression
* Linear models for classification
* Model validation and model selection
* Kernels
* Neural networks
* Dimensionality reduction
* Probabilistic modeling

Method:
Lecture + pen & paper exercises + programming exercises

Assessment and permitted materials

* Written exam: at the end of the semester; you will be allowed to bring 2 handwritten A4 sheets (4 pages) of notes

* Programming assignments: coding in Python; you will have to submit your executable source code & a written report on your implementation and results; some of the programming assignments include a peer-review of your colleagues' source code & report

* Pen & paper exercises: you will solve the pen & paper exercises at home; to be awarded credits for your solutions you have to present your solutions in the pen & paper exercises sessions (you will be randomly selected); pen & paper exercises will take place about every 2nd week

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

30% Written exam
40% Programming exercises
30% Pen & paper exercises

P = Average weighted percentage on the written exam, the programming exercises, and the pen & paper exercises

90% <= P <= 100% Sehr Gut (1)
77% <= P < 90% Gut (2)
62% <= P < 77% Befriedigend (3)
50% <= P < 62% Genügend (4)
0% <= P < 50% Nicht Genügend (5)

To successfully complete the course, you need to achieve at least 50% of the points of the written exam, 50% of the points on the pen & paper exercises, and 50% of the points on the programming assignments.

Attendance of the lecture parts of the course is voluntary but highly recommended. Attendance of the pen & paper exercise and the written exam is compulsory to pass the course.

Examination topics

The presented topics in the lecture (according to slides + exercises). Referenced Literature (as indicated in detail on the lecture slides).
