Requirements
Goals: (i) The students should get to know a number of unsupervised learning methods. (ii) They should be able to discuss which of the methods might be appropriate for a given data set. (iii) They should understand the mathematics of these methods.
The course is given in English. It will be concluded with an oral exam. The dates will be set in the last lecture.
The Institut für Neuroinformatik (INI) is a central research unit of the Ruhr-Universität Bochum. We aim to understand the fundamental principles through which organisms generate behavior and cognition while linked to their environments through sensory systems and while acting in those environments through effector systems. Inspired by our insights into such natural cognitive systems, we seek new solutions to problems of information processing in artificial cognitive systems. We draw from a variety of disciplines that include experimental approaches from psychology and neurophysiology as well as theoretical approaches from physics, mathematics, electrical engineering and applied computer science, in particular machine learning, artificial intelligence, and computer vision.
