Contents
- Biological neural networks
- Supervised learning procedures
- Unsupervised learning procedures
- Theoretical Analysis of Neural Networks
- Self-organization and emergence
- Experiment design and analysis
- Capabilities and limits of the models
Qualification Goals
The students shall
- have an insight into the theory of neural networks and an overview of the different architectures, chances and limitations of artificial neural networks,
- in addition to the common supervised learning networks, acquire knowledge of unsupervised learning neural networks and the paradigm of self-organization and emergence,
- be able to design a data-driven solution for artificial neural networks based on a concrete problem using predefined program libraries,
- practice scientific working methods (recognizing, formulating, solving problems, training the ability to abstract),
- practice oral communication skills in the exercises by practicing free speech in front of an audience.
Prerequisites
Translation is missing. Here is the German original:
Keine. Empfohlen werden die Kompetenzen, die in den Basismodulen zur Informatik vermittelt werden.
Applicability
The module can be attended at FB12 in study program(s)
- B.Sc. Computer Science
- M.Sc. Data Science
- M.Sc. Computer Science
- M.Sc. Mathematics
