This seminar aims to cover different topics in the field of machine learning, such as decision trees, SVMs or neural networks. It takes shape as a paper reading and discussing the concept of "learning and learning". A collection of papers from selected journals and conferences is provided for the students to choose from. In each meeting, two topics are presented by the students.
Students are graded based on: a) their presentation, b) a short (13-16 pages) report that they write on the subject, and c) their participation in post-presentation discussions. So, attendance is required to pass the course.
The date for the first meeting can be seen from the table above. In the session, all possible topics are presented. The presentations will start two to four weeks after the preliminary meeting; two presentations in each meeting. If you are unable to attend this preliminary meeting, please write an email to either of the instructors.
Important note: If there are more than 12 participants on the preliminary meeting, students who have chosen the seminar on ILIAS have priority. If you are on the waiting list, you will get access to the ILIAS page shortly before this meeting will start.
