[Mllab] Practical Lab Numerical Simulation
by Adolfo Camacho Melo 02 Apr '18

02 Apr '18

Sehr geehrte Professoren Garcke und Griebel, Ich möchte Ihr Practical Lab als Gasthörer besuchen. Vor 2 Semestern habe ich schon ein Practical Lab besucht und deswegen darf ich mich für dieses Practical Lab nicht einschreiben aber ich interessiere mich für seinen Inhalt. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Adolfo Camacho-Melo

[Mllab] Registration for P4E1 "Algorithms in Machine Learning and Their Application"
by Olmo Chiara 30 Mar '18

30 Mar '18

Good morning, I am Olmo, student of the Master's in Mathematics, and I would llike to sign up for "P4E1 Practical Lab Numerical Simulation Algorithms in Machine Learning and Their Application". My information is: Name: Olmo Chiara Llanos Matrikelnummer: 3061038 Also, I am thinking about taking another subject that overlaps with the current date, so would it be possible/sensible to maybe attend every two weeks? Or, is it likely for the current date to change? Thank you very much, Olmo

[Mllab] Zettel 2 und Treffen
by Bastian Bohn 28 Mar '18

28 Mar '18

Hi, Zettel 2 ist nun fertig und mitsamt der Musterlösung eingecheckt. Was drauf ist: * Optimal margin hyperplanes -> duale Formulierung -> C-SVM * SMO + Beispiel * Feature Maps + Kerne * Multi-Class + Hyperparameter mittels Crossvalidation * Scikit-learn + MNIST Datensatz Alles mit enstprechenden Aufgaben/Beispielen. SVM und SMO fallen auf dem Zettel noch vom Himmel. Wird dann voraussichtlich im vorlesungsteil genauer erläutert/hergeleitet. Desweiteren wäre es gut, wenn wir uns vor Vorlesungszeitbeginn nochmal zusammensetzen und ein paar Details zum Ablauf + Zeitplan klären. Vorab schonmal: In der Email an alle Teilnehmer bitte Ort und Zeitpunkt der ersten VL am Mittwoch, 11.04. in 6.020 (We6) angeben. Auf der Webseite fehlt aktuell noch der Ort. Viele Grüße und ggf. schonmal frohe Ostern, Bastian -- Dr. Bastian Bohn Institut für Numerische Simulation Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn Wegelerstr. 6 D-53115 Bonn Germany Tel.: +49 228 73-60452 Fax: +49 228 73-7527 URL: http://wissrech.ins.uni-bonn.de/people/bohn.html

[Mllab] Fwd: [ML-news] [KDD-2018] KDD Cup Call for Participation: Fresh Air
by Jochen Garcke 21 Mar '18

21 Mar '18

Hi, der Zeitraum ist nicht der richtige, aber vielleicht können wir diese Daten (oder aus früheren KDD-Wettbewerben, die Daten müssten weiterhin zugängig sein) als Spielmaterial nutzen ? Z.B. für den letzten Zettel ? Oder hier, aber zeitlich ähnlich doof: https://www.data-mining-cup.com/ Zudem sind das dort mehr Handels/Kundendaten, was ich wenig spannend finde. Grüße, Jochen -------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [ML-news] [KDD-2018] KDD Cup Call for Participation: Fresh Air Datum: Tue, 20 Mar 2018 14:43:11 -0700 (PDT) Von: Ping Zhang <mail.pingzhang(a)gmail.com> An: Machine Learning News <ml-news(a)googlegroups.com> Website: https://biendata.com/competition/kdd_2018/ ********** Timeline ********** 2018/3/15: Release historical data of Beijing between 2017/1/31 and 2018/1/31. You can start exploring and constructing your forecasting framework using this dataset. 2018/3/31: Release historical data of the second city. The generalization of your forecasting framework will be challenged on both cities in this competition. 2018/4/1 – 2018/4/30: Phase I: Practice Only. This is the public testing stage. The scores you get in this stage will not be counted in the final ranking. This is the time period that you explore the modeling framework, and develop and stabilize your data downloading, model retraining, forecasting, and submission process programmatically. 2018/5/1 0:00 a.m. (UTC) – 2018/5/31 23:59 p.m. (UTC): Phase II: Live Testing and Final Stage. The results of this phase will decide the final leaderboard of this year's KDD Cup. 2018/5/7 23:59 (UTC): Team merger deadline: you cannot create or change team after the team merger deadline. ********** Prize ********** The amount of all prizes is $21,500. Gold Medal (1st Place): $10,000 Silver Medal (2nd Place): $5,000 Bronze Medal (3rd Place): $3,000 Honorable Prizes (4th – 10th Place): $500, each team. More prizes, such as travel fund, certificate, or additional cash prize remain to be announced. ********** Background ********** Over the past years, air pollution has become progressively more severe in many large cities, such as Beijing. In 2011, an article in the Los Angeles Times cited Dane Westerdahl, an air quality expert from Cornell University, describing the air quality of Beijing as 'downwind from a forest fire'. Among different air pollutants, air particles, or Particulate Matters (PM), are one of the deadliest forms. Particles with a diameter of 2.5 μm or less (called PM2.5) can penetrate deeply into human lungs and enter blood vessels, causing DNA mutations, cancer, central neural system damage, and premature death. Existing biomedical research demonstrates that, once inhaled, PM2.5 can hardly be self-cleaned by the human immune system. Therefore, accurately monitoring and predicting the concentration of PM2.5 and other air particles have become increasingly crucial. With precise predictions of air pollution levels, the public and governments can respond with appropriate decisions, such as closing schools and discouraging outdoor activities, to greatly mitigate the harmful consequences of air pollution. ******************** Task and Evaluation ******************** Participants are requested to predict PM2.5, PM10, and O3 concentration levels over the coming 48 hours for two cities, one of which is Beijing, China while the other will be revealed on March 31. On each day throughout the competition, air quality data and meteorological data for both cities will be provided on the hourly basis. For example, on May 14, the participants will be able to access historical data up to May 14 (including), and will have to predict the pollution level for May 15 and 16. Over a period of 24 hours (by 23:59 UTC), each team will be allowed to make no more than 3 submissions to predict 48 hours of air quality results, starting from 0:00 UTC of the next day. We will soon provide more details on the submission API and the submission file format. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Machine Learning News" group.

Guten Abend Herr Garcke und Herr Griebel, ich würde sehr gerne im kommenden Semester an dem von Ihnen angebotenen Practical Lab teilnehmen. Ich habe mich bereits ein wenig mit dem theoretischen Hintergrund hinter Machine Learning beschäftigt und würde mich freuen, wenn ich durch das Lab die Möglichkeit bekäme dies auch einmal praktisch zu erarbeiten. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Simon Thomä
