Teaching

Winter term 2018/19

• Algorithms (Bachelor CS, 4+2 SWS)
• Statistical Network Analysis (Master CS, 2+2 SWS, by Debarghya Ghoshdastidar)
• Research seminar "Machine Learning Theory" (runs constantly)

Bachelor or Master theses

How to write a Bachelor or Master thesis in our group:

• General information and first steps
• List of topics (login and password required, same as for all my lectures)
• Tips about how to actually write the thesis.

FAQ and HOWTO pages

• Credits for courses taken at other universities (Anerkennung von Pruefungsleistungen): I am dealing with these issues just in the context of Mathematics 1 to 3, and regarding prior knowledge for the Medieninformatik degree. Here you can read what you need to do.
• Exams: FAQ and how to prepare
• Seminars: how to prepare

Consultation hour / Sprechstunde

I do not have a fixed time. Please send an email in which you explain why you want to talk to me, then we can make an appointment. Please do not just drop in my office unless it is really urgent.
