Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The seminar is a scientific discourse about (student-) selected topics approached via individual contributions through presentations/demos, discussions, and a brief written paper or dataset. Topics can vary but are typically at the intersection between geoinformatics and human or physical geography as well as neighboring disciplines such as transportation studies, urban planning, cognitive science, and so on.

This year's topic will be about various ethical aspects of GeoAI e.g., bias in data and models.

Assessment and permitted materials

The assessment is done through an oral presentation/demo, participation in discussions, and the creation and demonstration of an open-content dataset. Students work in teams of 2-3 and prepare a proposal presentation (~10-15 min) , final presentation (40min, 10min interactive in-class experiment, 10min discussion), and introduce their dataset (~10-15 min). Students are expected to participate during all presentations, e.g., from other student teams.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

For a passing grade the students need to score at least 51% points. The individual grade depends on the quality of the presentation, the written contribution, quality of the demo and data, and the active participation in discussions. Attendance is mandatory, for instance, students cannot miss their own (their team's) presentation.

88 – 100 % „Excellent / Sehr gut”
75 < 88 % „Good / Gut”
63 < 75% „Satisfactory / Befriedigend”
51 < 63 % „Sufficient / Ausreichend”
< 51 % „Insufficient / Nicht Ausreichend

Examination topics

Oral presentations, written/programmed contributions (e.g., datasets), and active participation in discussions.

Reading list

A literature sign-up sheet will be distributed during the first session. Students typically read 2-4 papers.
