Mapping to Focus Areas
Below, you find the module's mapping to the study program's focus areas. This is done as a contribution to all relevant focus areas (in ECTS, and content-wise). This is also relevant for setting the module in relation to other modules, and tells to what extent the module might be part of other study programs.

Learning Outcome
This specialization recaps quickly the machine learning and especially deep learning principles.
The student dives into the following topics
- Advanced methods for attribute selection
- Reinforcement learning
- Generative Adversarial Networks
- Special topics such as:
- Explainable Machine Learning
by filling their knowledge gaps between theory and practice while applying the methods in python solving natural language understanding and special computer vision real-world problems
for being able to apply modern machine learning methods in enterprises and research and understand the caveats of real-world data and settings.
