Whether we stream our favorite series, develop new drugs or have us being chauffeured by a self-driving car -- machine learning is an essential part of our modern life, and of our future. But the growing amount of data and our increasing demands pose difficulties for today's classical computers. Can quantum computing overcome these challenges? What potentials does the emerging field of quantum machine learning have? In this course, we will not only learn about quantum machine learning and its prospects, but we will also solve concrete tasks with both classical and quantum models.

Die Schlagwörter Künstliche Intelligenz, Data Science, Data Engineering, und Big Data dominieren seit einigen Jahren nicht nur die IT-Schlagzeilen. In unserem Kurs wollen wir diese Wörter mit grundlegendem Inhalt füllen und die typischen Arbeitsschritte eines Data Scientists nachvollziehen. Insbesondere schauen wir hinter die Kulissen und betrachten den oft mühsamen Weg der Daten bis sie endlich genutzt werden können um z.B. mittels maschinellem Lernen Modelle trainieren zu können. Dazu gehören die Datenbeschaffung, die Datenreinigung, und die Datenintegration. Anschließend lernen wir, wie man aus diesen Daten und auch aus Texten neue Erkenntnisse mittels Data Mining und maschinellem Lernen gewinnt. Der Abschluss bildet eine Diskussion über Ethik und Fairness bei der automatisierten Datenanalyse.

Large-scale biology projects such as the sequencing of the human genome and gene expression surveys using RNA-seq, microarrays and other technologies have created a wealth of data for biologists. However, the challenge facing scientists is analyzing and even accessing these data to extract useful information pertaining to the system being studied. This course focuses on employing existing bioinformatic resources – mainly web-based programs and databases – to access the wealth of data to answer questions relevant to the average biologist, and is highly hands-on.

Predictive analytics has a longstanding tradition in medicine. Developing better prediction models is a critical step in the pursuit of improved health care: we need these tools to guide our decision-making on preventive measures, and individualized treatments. In order to effectively use and develop these models, we must understand them better. In this course, you will learn how to make accurate prediction tools, and how to assess their validity. First, we will discuss the role of predictive analytics for prevention, diagnosis, and effectiveness. Then, we look at key concepts such as study design, sample size and overfitting.

Unix forms a foundation that is often very helpful for accomplishing other goals you might have for you and your computer, whether that goal is running a business, writing a book, curing disease, or creating the next great app. The means to these goals are sometimes carried out by writing software. Software can’t be mined out of the ground, nor can software seeds be planted in spring to harvest by autumn. Software isn’t produced in factories on an assembly line. Software is a hand-made, often bespoke good. If a software developer is an artisan, then Unix is their workbench.
