This page is targeted at both students and staff. == 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. Prior knowledge of machine learning is mandatory, e.g., as acquired through the courses offered by our group. Many theses are connected to ongoing research in our group. However, it is also possible for students to suggest own topics/ideas.
Line 7: Line 8:
== General procedure ==
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 (typically three months for BA and six months for MA). This implies that a thesis often requires more time than the official writing period. 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.
There are two complementary ways to find a supervisor:
 1. Top-down: write a mail to teachingteam@ml.tu-berlin.de. We will match you with suitable internally advertised topics if possible.
 2. Unsolicited: you can contact the researchers below if they work in a research area that suits you.
Line 10: Line 12:
Though we encourage thesis supervision, there is no obligation to supervise every interested student, e.g., in case no appropriate topic/supervisor is available. '''Our group tries to supervise as many students as possible, but we typically do not have the capacity to supervise every interested student.'''
Line 12: Line 14:
== Unsolicited applications ==
Students can proactively contact researchers if none of the open topics below are suitable. It is possible to suggest your own topics or ideas. In general, being friendly, motivated, and skillful is helpful. Though our group tries to supervise as many students as possible, we do not always have the capacity to supervise every interested student.

The senior researchers have a broad overview of current research in our group:

== Open topics ==
 * Please delete topics that are not available anymore.
 * Please include the entry's date. This can help identify outdated topics that should have been deleted.
 * The last column can entail '''short''' additional information helpful to students to assess their interest in a topic without contacting the person. For example, you may include a short description or a link to a relevant paper.
=== Publicly advertised open topics ===
We advertise most topics internally ([[https://wiki.ml.tu-berlin.de/wiki/IDA/ThesisTopicsNewInternal|link to our internal wiki]]) because they are related to ongoing and unpublished research.

== After having found a supervisor ==
Students prepare a proposal that includes
 * the research question and its context/motivation,
 * related work,
 * preliminary methodological and/or experimental results,
 * and formalities such as the number of ECTS credits and the writing time as specified in the student’s examination regulations.
The supervisor can help the student with writing the proposal. Students can register the thesis with the examination office after Prof. Müller approves the proposal. We encourage students not to underestimate the time required for writing the proposal. Furthermore, consider that we may require some time to review the proposal. Therefore, it is helpful to contact our group early.

Finding a supervisor

Interested students can contact us with the thesis application form, a curriculum vitae/resume, and an optional cover letter. Prior knowledge of machine learning is mandatory, e.g., as acquired through the courses offered by our group. Many theses are connected to ongoing research in our group. However, it is also possible for students to suggest own topics/ideas.
