Python Programming for Machine Learning (PyML)

Python Programming for Machine Learning (3 ECTS credits) is an optional course within one of the modules:

• "Cognitive Algorithms" (summer and winter semesters)

• "Machine Learning 1" (summer semester).

It's not possible to take the class as a standalone, seminar, or free-of-choice module.

Participation in the exercise sessions is not mandatory but highly recommended. Homework assignments must be submitted every week. You must be enrolled on ISIS to submit homework. If you do not register on time, you cannot pass the course.

You can choose between two (almost identical) courses. More information will follow as we approach the semester.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Which exam is compatible with PyML A/B? All exams are compatible with PyML A or B. You can choose the exam that fits your time schedule best.

• Is prior programming/Python knowledge necessary? Knowledge of elementary programming concepts (in Python or another language) will be helpful. Lack of such knowledge will increase the time demand of the class.

• How to register for the course? Pre-registration via the exam registration office is not needed. However, register for the ISIS course in time (see above) to be able to submit the exercises.

• May I participate in the class during this semester and take part in the corresponding module in one of the following semesters ? Yes, just after you've passed the class, your results are also valid for the next semesters.

• I've already successfully passed all of the homework in the previous semester but failed/missed the exam. Should I resubmit them again? No, you don't need to resubmit the homework. You may take part directly in the final exam. Enroll for the class via ISIS and wait for the announcements.

Students from other universities

If you are not a student at TU and want to earn credit, you have to solicit ''Nebenhörerschaft'':

• First fill the online ''form''.

• Send the form to one of the trainers (see contact information above) to sign

• Then send the signed form to our dean Prof. Dr. Rolf Niedermeier (rolf.niedermeier@tu-berlin.de).

• After getting your signed form back send it together with your current matriculation letter ('Immatrikulationsbescheinigung') to the student registration office (nebenhoerer@studsek.tu-berlin.de).

Please make sure to trigger the above process on time. You may need to go through some bureaucracy to attain ISIS (the university's web portal) access, which is necessary to submit the mandatory homework.
