Machine Learning Lab

Practical course: Large-Scale Machine Learning (IN2106, IN4192)

Application

Applications are closed. You can download the slides from the information event here.

Overview

Machine learning has become one of the most popular fields in research and industry in recent years. Therefore, hands-on machine learning skills are much sought after. In this practical course, students will work in small groups to solve problems on real-world data with state-of-the-art algorithms. Students will be provided with cutting-edge GPU resources to facilitate their work on large-scale datasets. We plan to cooperate with industry partners for data and projects.

The objective of this lab course (Master-Praktikum) is to develop data mining/machine learning algorithms specifically handling large real-world datasets. Besides focusing on existing principles, the participants will also design and realize novel analysis techniques.

All organizational aspects will be addressed at the organizational meeting. In the application form, interested students should enter relevant information about themselves, which will be used for the admission process. More information bellow.

Information

  • Preliminary meeting with final presentations from current semester: Wed, 29.01.2020, 17:30-18:30, MI HS1. All students who are interested in the lab course are invited to attend.
  • Weekly meetings during the semester: Wednesdays at 12:00 (tentative)
  • Prerequisites:
    • The lab course is designed for Master students of Computer Science (including Data Engineering & Analytics program etc.)
    • Good knowledge in data mining/machine learning is a must (i.e. at least one of the related lectures "Mining Massive Datasets", "Machine Learning" etc.).
    • Since the lab course focuses on the implementation of data mining/machine learning algorithms, strong programming skills (in Python, C++, R, or Java) are required. In particular, knowledge in frameworks such as Tensorflow and PyTorch will be helpful.
