Miscellaneous

  • Some teaching material (data science, machine learning, information visualizations) is available as jupyter notebook on Github
  • Introductory Machine Learning Videos by Madis Lemsalu, a former student, can be found on youtube

Complex Systems Engineering (Winter Term 2017, Uni Passau)

Lecture Slides and Material

Some slide sets use animations in Latex beamer. The produced PDF is unfortuantely not correctly readable with all PDF viewers. I recommend to use Adobe PDF viewer.

Lecture Slides

These are the same slides as linked below. The only difference is that there is one PDF file for each lecture topic. Access restricted by password.
  • Introduction
  • Information Retrieval
  • Human Search
  • (S)UI Evaluation
  • Result Visualization
