Integrated Lecture "Kognitive Algorithmen"
Computer programs can learn useful cognitive skills. This integrated lecture tries to communicate an intuitive understanding of elementary concepts in machine learning, their historical development and their application on real data with a special focus on methods that are simple to implement.
We will alternated a lecture and a practice session. In the practice session students will implement and apply machine learning algorithms on real data in Python.

Credits
The integrated lecture is the compulsory part of the B.Sc. module "Kognitive Algorithmen" in Computer Science. This "Kognitive Algorihtmen" module is a 6 ECTS/SP module, and consists of
- The compulsory integrated lecture (2 SWS / 3 SP / 3 ECTS), and
An elective (2 SWS / 3 SP / 3 ECTS): a Math refresher course, an introduction to python programming or a seminar ("Applications of Cognitive Algorithms") for a more in-depth treatment of selected applications.
The grade will be determined in a written exam at the end of the semester. The grades of the elective will not count towards the grade of the entire module.
