Modellierung II

Instructors: Univ.-Prof. Dr. Michael Wand
Shortname: 08.079.318
Course No.: 08.079.318
Course Type: Vorlesung/Übung

Requirements / organisational issues

Modelling II builds on top of Modelling I (previous semester). Familiarity with the corresponding topics (linear vector spaces, function spaces, linear functiona equations, variational modeling, least-squares, Matrix factorization & PCA, signal theory & aliasing) is assumed to be given. Students who have not attended Modelling I are encouraged to participate in part II if they have gained knowledge in these topic areas from other courses (for example in math or physics).

Contents

While the first part, Modeling I, has focused predominantely on linear models, we will in part II extend our attention to non-lineare models. In addition, we also consider probabilistic models, where uncertainty has to be taken into account.

Preliminary Topic list:

  1. Baysian statistics, modeling of uncertainty, relation to variational modeling.
  2. Discriminative and generative learning.
  3. Differential geometry. Differential characterization of 2D and 3D geometry. Intrinsic geometry / Riemannian Manifolds. Optimization on Manifolds.
  4. Geometric descriptors and correspondences.
  5. Symmetry

This topic list is preliminary; the course is held this semester for the first time; accordingly, changes / refocusing in some details might still be possible.

As in part I (Modeling I), our focus is to bring theory and pratice together. We will try out all of these methods directly in practical applications.
