Advanced studies
The seminar is mainly intended for students who have completed at least most of the compulsory courses in the specialisation area Algorithms and Machine Learning. Each student will prepare a written paper and give an oral presentation on some topic within the specialisation area. The students are also expected to be active in providing feedback on fellow students" papers, accepting feedback on their own papers and participating in discussions. The paper and presentation may either be based on some recent reseach article, or be an introduction to some more classic work that is not covered in regular courses. A list of suggested topics will be made available before the first meeting. Students are also encouraged to suggest their own topics.
