Data Science and Artificial Intelligence program this semester! Students who plan to transfer or are in the process of transferring to the DSAI program from other programs need to check with the study coordinator if this transfer has already been completed for this semester. Also, please double-check whether your subject of study in your CMS registration reflects the program you are currently enrolled in (regardless what your future plans are), correct it, if necessary, and please notify me about the change. For all other students, please register with the LSF at your earliest convenience. All the best,

Projektseminar Data Science and Artificial Intelligence
The aim of this practical seminar is the realization of a complete pipeline of a project from the problem statement to finding solutions using methods of machine learning. The topics are proposed by groups from various fields of research, e.g. materials science, computer linguistics, bioinformatics, computer vision, but also (computational) social sciences. Each topic will be supervised by the group that proposed the topic. Up to three students will be working on one topic.
The project seminar consists of three parts. In the first part, the student group working on a topic will get acquainted with the topic, the input data, and research about potential solutions for the given problem. The second part is the implementation and testing of solutions for the problem. At the end of the course, the groups will present their topics and the solutions in a seminar. Successful completion of the seminar is rewarded with 9 CP for Data Science & Artificial Intelligence bachelor students.
