Handlungsfeld ECTS (anteilig) Modulbeitrag zum Handlungsfeld
Generating and Accessing Knowledge 3

This specialization recaps quickly the machine learning and especially deep learning principles, then dives deeper into current topics of the field.

Architecting and Coding Software 2

This module includes software development (notebooks)

Acting Responsibly 1

This module teaches how to deal with data and knowledge generating methods responsibly, acounting for ethics, privacy and security.

Learning Outcome

This specialization recaps quickly the machine learning and especially deep learning principles.

The student dives into the following topics

  • Advanced Feature Engineering Methods
    • Anomaly detection
    • Autoencoders
  • Generative Models
    • Variational Autoencoders
    • Generative Adversarial Networks
  • Explainable Machine Learning
  • Reinforcement 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.
