[SS22] Information Retrieval

By completing the course, students will get to know the important information retrieval tasks, e.g.,Web search and recommendation. The participants will understand the conceptual requirements of specific retrieval tasks and be able to devise retrieval approaches consisting of suitable data structures and algorithms to address these tasks. The participants will be able to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of retrieval approaches and to implement suitable retrieval approaches to solve complex practical information retrieval problems.

Workload: 4 SWS (2 SWS Lecture / 2 SWS Exercise), 6 ECTS

[SS22] Programming in Python

The course introduces students to procedural and object-oriented programming using the Python programming language. The goal is enabling students to independently solve complex application problems using software. For this purpose, basic concepts, algorithms, and data structures in computer science are conveyed. Furthermore, the students are made familiar with the basic constructs of the Python programming language and important external libraries.

Programming is a craft that - like any other craft - requires some theoretical knowledge as foundation but is learned above all through practice and application. Therefore, the exam for this course consists of an extensive programming project during the semester instead of a theoretical final examination.

Workload: 4 SWS (2 SWS Lecture / 2 SWS Exercise), 5 ECTS

[SS22] FPV Quadcopter Seminar

Teaser video about the seminar

Drones, quadcopters, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are an important technology of the future.

In the seminar, the students learn the theoretical and practical basics of these innovative and complex flying objects and use them for research projects. The focus of the seminar is the development of quadcopters that can be controlled via FPV glasses (First Person View), can reach ranges of approx. 10 km and top speeds of 180 kph.

One research project, for example, will be the (further) development of a rescue drone for fawns. This hexacopter, equipped with an infrared camera, will use innovative computer vision (artificial intelligence) processes to independently fly over agricultural areas to automatically locate fawns. This can prevent the animals from being injured or killed by agricultural machines. In contrast to existing systems, the rescue drone allows searching for fawns in an automated and cost-effective manner.

Of course, the participants can also implement their own ideas with support by experts. The required components, devices, and materials are provided by the chair.

Registration required:

To ensure a high teaching quality, the number of participants is limited. Professor Gipp will therefore conduct a short selection interview if necessary. Please register early by sending an email to gipp@uni-wuppertal.de. This ensures that you can still register in good time for other events if we are unable to grant you a spot in the seminar.

Workload: 2 SWS, 3 ECTS

Course Language: German (English if necessary)
