After successful completion of the course, students are able to:
MATLAB syntax (command- and partially object-oriented), graphical representations, problems in linear algebra, optimization and statistics, solution of ordinary differential equations and machine learning by functions in the various toolboxes.
Learning of language and tool boxes by means of example programs, development of programs for solving problems posed in weekly assignment. It is recommended to work in groups of two.
Please register only if you are seriously committed to attend the entire course! You will need a laptop with a MATLAB installation already in the first unit, see http://www.sss.tuwien.ac.at/sss/mla/.
Please install the following toolboxes: Curve Fitting, Optimization, Global Optimization, Symbolic, Signal Processing, Statistics and Machine Learning, Deep Learning
The course is held online: https://tuwien.zoom.us/s/94743301239. Sign in with your TU email address.
There is question time online every Monday from 2pm to 3pm.
Working in groups of two is recommended, but not obligatory. There will be 40 groups in TUWEL for at most 64 participants. I expect all groups to work independently. If two or more groups deliver identical or extremely similar programs, neither of them will receive points.
Starting on March 9, I will upload one or two problems to TUWEL every Thursday. The programs that solve the problems have to be delivered until 5pm on the following Wednesday. The exact specifications how to submit the programs are listed in the assignment. Please follow them precisely to help me in the administration of the programs coming in every week. If you fail to do this, the submission will be rejected and you will lose the chance of a correction.
Each problem comes with a number M of points. After every submission you will get feedback about the correctness or mistakes to be corrected. In the latter case you are expected to submit the corrected version within three days. If the program is correct after the 1st submission you earn M points.If the program is correct after the 2nd submission you earn M-1 points. A 3rd submission is possible only in very exceptional cases. The final grade is computed from the percentage of your total number of points relative to the total number of points:
51-60%: 461-70%: 3 71-84%: 2 85-100% : 1
Please register via TISS. Groups of two will be established in TUWEL.
