Students are familiar with areas of artificial neural networks and deep learning: Motivation for Neural Networks

  • Data preprocessing
  • Simple and fully networked deep networks
  • Convolution Networks (CNN),
  • Sequential Neural Networks (RNN)
  • Application of Linear Algebra
  • Statistics and Optimization for Artificial Neural Networks
They are able to identify and analyze different network architectures and know the most important design environments.
Student can explain the pros and cons of individual network types, the error behavior, and the most important sources of information for this very dynamically evolving area of knowledge.
The students can independently develop, test, modify and evaluate networks and use the appropriately up-to-date tools.

Completion of the modules "Statistics", "Introduction to Machine Learning", "Unsupervised Learning", and "Supervised Learning"

The area of ANN and DL are a very dynamic area and this description is exemplary, to be applied as an example andincludes the state of knowledge at the beginning of 2020:
