| Learning outcomes |
Artificial intelligence was established in the mid-19th century as a research field of computer science and is considered one of the drivers of the digital revolution. Weak artificial intelligence, which is the focus of this course, has the goal of helping people with specific application problems. Applications are e.g. sata mining, text recognition, speech recognition or computer algebra systems, which have already demonstrated their usefulness in our daily lives. Among others, different methods of machine learning, e.g. classification or clustering procedure.
Theoretical and methodological know-how (T/M):
- Students know the basic concepts in the context of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and are able to identify and describe possible applications of AI methods.
- Students know the basic concepts and procedures in the context of machine learning (ML) and its core elements (supervised, unsupervised, reinforcement).
- Students are able to explain various ML methods (e.g., Decision Trees, Support Vector Machines).
- Students select and implement appropriate methods (based on the requirements of a task and the characteristics of the procedures).
- Students are able to explain and use procedures that are used for data mining (eg regression, ML procedures ...).
- Students are able to describe the need for method evaluation (no-free-lunch theorem) and apply appropriate procedures (e.g., cross-validation, receiver-operating-characteristic curves) and interpret the results.
- Students are able to use a programming language / software (eg Python, R, WEKA) to solve simple ML tasks and interpret the results.
In addition, social and communicative skills (S/C) such as motivation and reliability as well as self-competences (S) such as learning and motivation, decision-making, responsibility and perseveranceare are trained. |
