== General information ==
After the topic and supervisor have been found (see below), the student must write a proposal with '''preliminary''' results. After Klaus approves the proposal, the student can register the thesis, and the writing period begins. This implies that a thesis often requires more time than the official writing period (typically three months for BA and six months for MA). It might be possible to hand in the thesis early (check with the respective examination regulations for the student’s degree program). However, we encourage significant time between registration and submission.

Though we encourage thesis supervision, there is no obligation to supervise every interested student, e.g., in case no appropriate topic/supervisor is available. == Finding a supervisor ==
Interested students can contact us with the [[https://1drv.ms/w/s!Ahi16FpIWOkRkttoYVVe5krTQqpBTg?e=XRslcE|thesis application form]], a curriculum vitae/resume, and an optional cover letter. Please provide '''evidence''' for '''relevant''' skills.
Applicants require significant experience in machine learning, e.g., as acquired through the courses offered by our group (passed with the grade “good” or better) or some equivalent. This typically includes a deep conceptual understanding of machine learning and profound programming experience. The necessary skills may vary depending on the topic, e.g., purely theoretical theses require more mathematical than programming skills, albeit such theses are the exception and not the norm. Many theses are connected to ongoing research in our group. However, it is also possible for students to suggest their own topics/ideas. Either way, candidates should have sufficient abilities before applying because it will otherwise be impossible to independently and successfully finish a thesis equivalent to the norm within a reasonable timeframe.

Our senior researchers often have a good overview of the research interests in our group. It can be helpful to contact one of the researchers below if you cannot supervise an interested student yourself and none of the open topics below are appropriate.
'''Our group supervises as many students as possible, but we typically do not have the capacity to supervise every interested student.''' We are a large group and use the formalized application procedure to determine our supervisory capacity given the student's research interests and profile.

You can contact our group via two complementary channels:
 1. Top-down: Write a mail to jobs@ml.tu-berlin.de. We will match you with suitable internally advertised topics (if existent). Furthermore, we will give you the contact information of researchers in our group if they are compatible with your profile and have free capacity. Please briefly mention the names of the researchers you have contacted unsolicitedly (if any).
 2. Unsolicited: You can contact the researchers in our groups directly. We provide an overview list below and will soon update our main website. Unsolicited applications can be particularly helpful for students with prior experience in a specific research area and clear preferences. To guide this form of the application process, you may skim our group’s publications in your area of interest and contact the respective authors, for example.

Finding a supervisor

Interested students can contact us with the thesis application form, a curriculum vitae/resume, and an optional cover letter. Please provide evidence for relevant skills.
