Statistical learning deals with the fundamental problem that we design algorithms based on empirical data and calculate the costs on this data to control the optimization process, while we want to calculate the expected costs but cannot.Statistical learning theory is, therefore, the theory of how to model and design algorithms that operate on noisy random data. Personal opinion It’s a highly interesting course that has … Continue reading Statistical Learning Theory course (SLT) at ETH Zurich

The advances in machine learning, especially in deep learning in recent years, have enabled us to develop systems that can understand several types of data. In this course, we will not only learn what novel approaches are available to perform perceptual tasks such as image understanding, but we will also lay the foundations from basic neural networks to state-of-the-art generative models. The course consists of … Continue reading Machine Perception course at ETH Zurich

Over the past years, more and more machine learning-powered technologies have been integrated into the health care sector. This course shows how machine learning can be used to solve problems in biomedicine. Concrete problems such as data privacy and interpretability of results are also discussed and possible solutions are presented. This course contains a normal lecture and only tutorials during the first few weeks. What’s … Continue reading Machine Learning for Health Care course at ETH Zurich

This is a machine learning class that consists of normal lectures, tutorials, theory exercises, and a project, you can find a general explanation of each part in general here. The class itself is in my opinion heavily linear algebra based, but of course, you might feel different, if you have a more math based background like a Bachelor from ETH. Grading The final grade is … Continue reading Computational Intelligence Laboratory at ETH Zurich

This semester I am enrolled in five courses worth a total of 28 credits (ECTS). In addition, I have been working part-time for the first half of the semester and a few weeks ago I started building this website. First, I wanted to describe each course here in one post, but I realized that would make it way too long, hence I’ll explain what a … Continue reading Which courses I attend as a computer science student at ETH Zurich
