Abstract:

Machine Learning is the foundation of modern data analytics as it allows for automated processing of data in regards to pattern recognition and discovery. With the rise of “Data Science” as a discipline, a large number of approaches and techniques are developed and refined for special applications. This seminar offers an introduction to some of these advanced methods.This seminar contains fundamental topics like Feature Selection and Feature Transformation or Generative Adversarial Networks., but also application-specific ones like the computation of operational risk using machine learning algorithms. In addition to that we give special consideration to streaming applications and their traits: While unbound input data and execution time requirements challenge static methods, the temporal component offers a semantically steady attribute across all applications. Other temporal related topics are in the field of text analysis. We specifically consider the analysis of the philosophical conceptual history, differentiate between the “word level” and the “text level” as well as giving rules about word usage and text structures that have been derived from large scale text analysis.
