Machine learning (ML) emerged out of artificial intelligence and computer science as the academic discipline concerned with “giving computers the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed” (A. Samuel, 1959). Today, it is the methodological driver behind the mega-trend of digitalization. ML experts are highly sought after in industry and academia alike.

This course builds upon basic knowledge in math,…

Embedded Systems, although they are not visible, have become integral parts of this world. Embedded Systems essentially consist of two components: hardware and software. In contrast to information systems e.g. in the banking world, hardware is more application specific. Due to this fact, the software that interacts directly with the hardware is more specific as well. Real-time and concurrency are important issues…

The goal of this module is to introduce the students to the powerful world of statistical digital signal processing. While at the bachelor level digital signal processing is most often taught with deterministic signals, in the real world most interesting signals are stochastic in nature. Hence in more advanced applications, such as prediction or noise removal, the theories presented in this module are essential.
