    The post exam review will be on Wednesday, 8th June, 4:00pm to 5:30pm, OH 12, lecture hall E.003.
    According to current regulations, a registration is no longer required.
    Important: You have to register via Moodle to attend the post exam review. For each time slot (30 min.) we accept 20 students. If one slot is full, we will open the next one. Don't worry: every participant of the exam will have the opportunity to register. Registration will be possible shortly (watch this web page!). The deadline for registration is Friday, 3rd June, 6 pm CET.
  • Published 20-May-2022, 12:30 am: The results of the exam are published via BOSS for all study programs, except for the students who registered by email (they may query their grade via email). Moreover, for few participants BOSS has refused to store their grade. I have notified the examination offices about this issue. They will solve the problem on Friday.
    FYI: Grade Statistics -- Grading System.

    The written exam on Saturday, 12-Feb-2022, 1 pm, will take place in building EF 50 (Emil-Figge-Strasse 50) in the following lecture halls:

    study programlecture hall
    Angewandte Informatik EF50 / HS 1
    Automation & Robotics EF50 / HS 1
    Data Sciene EF50 / HS 1
    Statistics EF50 / HS 1
    Informatik EF50 / HS 2
    Exchange Students (Erasmus etc.) EF50 / HS 2

    Please come early. Plan enough time for the admission control.
    After entering the building, please wait in the foyer until we invite you to the lecture halls.
    The exam will begin at 1pm. The duration is 90 minutes. You must wear a medical mask all the time!
    Have student ID and photo ID (passport, ID card, Personalausweis) ready. Without ID you must not take the exam!
    You only need a pen with blue or black ink. No lead pencils!
  • Published 27-Jan-2022, 02:00 pm:
    If your study program is Angewandte Informatik, then this module is probably to be accredited for the module Aktuelle Themen der Dienstleistungsinformatik. In this case, the exam number (in german: Prüfungsnummer) is 89593.
  • Published 27-Jan-2022, 01:00 pm:
    If your study program is Automation and Robotics or Data Science and you cannot register via BOSS, then please first contact the person in the examination office that is in charge of your study program: A+R team 4 (Maja Schäfer); DS team 2 (Thomas Bergermann). If the problem remains, then contact Prof. Rudolph by email (and add your study program as well as matriculation number).
  • Published 26-Jan-2022, 04:00 pm:
    If you study Informatik or Angewandte Informatik and BOSS refuses your registration to the exam (which may happen occasionally), then you may register in the old-fashioned way:
    download and fill out the form and send it to team 1 (Ms Schiller) of the examination office by email!
    If you study something else and you have problems with the registration ... please let me know!
  • Published 18-Jan-2022, 11:30 am:
    The registration to the exam must be made via BOSS for the study programs BSc (Angew.) Informatik, MSc Automation & Robotics, and MSc Data Science. All other study programs must register (exam date, name, matriculation number, study program) by an email sent to Prof. Rudolph. Registration should be open end of this week at latest.
    Important: You cannot participate in the exam without due registration. The registration deadline is 14 days prior to the exam. As usual, you may de-register up to one day prior to the exam.
    Notice: Currently, registration is possible without formal eligibility (Studienleistung). But we will scrutinize if you are approved or not. In the end, we'll get you! ;-)

    Hybrid setting due to current state of Corona pandemic!

    Lecture:
    1. in lecture hall
        - with medical mask,
        - 3G-rule: admission only if vaccinated, recovered or tested
    2. remote / online
        - via Zoom (link published in Moodle in due time),
        - streaming from lecture hall
    Tutorial:
    1. in classroom (→ registration required, details in 1st lecture)
        - with medical mask,
        - 3G-rule: admission only if vaccinated, recovered or tested
    2. remote / online
        - via Zoom (purely digital: no streaming from classroom)

  • Published 27-Sep-2021, 9 pm:
    In accordance with the requirements of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, teaching is to take place predominantly in the presence of the students. Therefore, the course will be held in a lecture hall (see above). For those students who seriously do not have the possibility to be present on site, we will take efforts to stream the lecture from the lecture hall.
  • Published 31-Aug-2021, 4 pm:
    Due to Corona pandemic it is currently unclear if the lecture will be presented in online mode or in classroom. In any case, you have to register for the lecture to get us an idea about the number of attendees. Registration can be done in Moodle via the web pages of the tutorial (see link above). You will then receive further information via the email address you have specified there.
    Attention: The information is sent via your unimail address only! If you do not have a unimail address (yet), register as a guest in Moodle and notify the instructor of the tutorial.


Tutorial: Marius Bommert (M.Sc.), Florian Wellner, LS 11

Instruction Language: English.


Description:
Typically, Computational Intelligence is used as an umbrella term for the fields of artificial neural nets (ANN), fuzzy systems (FS) and evolutionary computation (EC). This course offers a thorough introduction into all three fields.

Foundations of ANN: McCulloch-Pitts nets, perceptrons, RBF nets, Hopfield nets, convolutional neural nets (CNN), recurrent nets.
Foundations of FS: Fuzzy sets, fuzzy numbers, fuzzy logic, fuzzy reasoning, fuzzy control, fuzzy clustering.
Foundations of EC: Algorithmic basics, parameterization, analysis methods, limits of deployment.

Students should get an overview about the different aspects of Computational Intelligence. They should be familiar with the essential elements in all three fields (ANN, FS, EC) and able to deploy and adapt these methods for real applications. Moreover, they should be able to assess when to deploy these methods and when not.
