Time and location

The course will be implemented in the spring semester of 2025.

Learning materials and recommended literature

The material for the assignments and the content to be studied will be shared during the course. The course utilizes the Python 3.11+ environment, Git version control, scikit-learn, TensorFlow 2, Keras and other visualization and deep learning libraries.

Teaching methods

Virtual study including doing assignments and familiarizing yourself with related lecture and example materials.

Practical training and working life connections

The aim is to connect the content of the course to problems that occur in working life.

Alternative completion methods

The admission procedures are described in the degree rule and the study guide. The teacher of the course will give you more information on possible specific course practices.

Student workload

The workload of one credit corresponds to 27 hours of study. The total amount of study work (5 ECTS) in the course is 135 hours.

Content scheduling

The learning materials are published at the start of the course and are supplemented if necessary during the course.
More detailed installation instructions for the environments used in the course are also given at the beginning of the course.

Further information for students

The course is evaluated using returned assignments.
The assessment methods are reviewed at the beginning of the course.
