An Introduction to Probabilistic Machine Learning (openHPI)

An Introduction to Probabilistic Machine Learning (openHPI)

Probabilistic machine learning has gained a lot of practical relevance over the past 15 years as it is highly data-efficient, allows practitioners to easily incorporate domain expertise and, due to the recent advances in efficient approximate inference, is highly scalable. Moreover, it has close relations to causal inference which is one of the key methods for measuring cause-effect relationship of machine learning models and explainable artificial intelligence. This openHPI course will introduce all recent developments in probabilistic modeling and inference. It will cover both the theoretical as well as practical and computational aspects of probabilistic machine learning.

This openHPI course will introduce all recent developments in probabilistic modeling and inference. It will cover both the theoretical as well as practical and computational aspects of probabilistic machine learning.
This course requires some Python and C/C++ programming; we will use the Collab feature of openHPI. We will also assume that the participants have a solid understanding of analysis and calculus.

Decision Making and Reinforcement Learning (Coursera)

This course is an introduction to sequential decision making and reinforcement learning. We start with a discussion of utility theory to learn how preferences can be represented and modeled for decision making. We first model simple decision problems as multi-armed bandit problems in and discuss several approaches to evaluate feedback. We will then model decision problems as finite Markov decision processes (MDPs), and discuss their solutions via dynamic programming algorithms. We touch on the notion of partial observability in real problems, modeled by POMDPs and then solved by online planning methods.

Künstliche Intelligenz und maschinelles Lernen für Einsteiger (openHPI)

Hier lernen Jugendliche und andere Interessierte ohne Programmier-Erfahrung und technisches Hintergrund-Wissen, die Welt des maschinellen Lernens und der künstlichen Intelligenz zu verstehen. Wir führen Sie dazu in die grundlegenden Konzepte ein. Dabei erfahren Sie, wo die Unterschiede zwischen herkömmlicher Programmierung und der Entwicklung selbstlernender Software liegen. Anhand von Beispielen erfahren Sie, was überwachtes, nicht überwachtes und verstärkendes Lernen sind. Denn diese Konzepte bilden den Kern für die Algorithmen, welche das maschinelle Lernen bewirken. Erleben Sie anhand einer konkreten Anwendung, wie mit einem solchen Lernprozess Muster und Strukturen in großen Datenmengen erkannt werden können. Auch auf ethische Fragen beim Einsatz künstlicher Intelligenz sowie die Begrenzungen der Technologie maschinellen Lernens wird in dem vierwöchigen Gratis-Kurs eingegangen. Geleitet wird er von den Masterstudenten Johannes Hötter und Christian Warmuth.
