Contents of teaching:
- The human brain and abstract neuron models
- Learning with a single neuron: * Perceptrons * Max-Margin Classification * LDA and logistic Regression
- Network architectures: * Hopfield-Networks * Multilayer-Perceptrons * Deep Learning
- Unsupervised Learning: * k-means, Neural Gas and SOMs * PCA & ICA * Sparse Coding
Qualification-goals/Competencies:
- The students are able to understand the principle function of a single neuron and the brain as a whole.
- They know abstract neuronal models and they are able to name practical applications for the different variants.
- They are able to derive a learning rule from a given error function.
- They are able to apply (and implement) the proposed learning rules and approaches to solve unknown practical problems.
Grading through:
- Written or oral exam as announced by the examiner
