A large number of problems arising in practical scenarios like communication, transportation, planning, logistics etc. can be modeled as combinatorial optimization problems. In most cases, these problems are computationally intractable and one often resorts to heuristics that provide sufficiently good solutions in reasonable amount of runtime. However, in most cases, such heuristics do not provide a worst case guarantee on the performance in comparison to the optimum solution. In this course, we shall study algorithms for combinatorial optimization problems which can provide strong mathematical guarantees on performance. The course aims at developing a toolkit for solving such problems. The lectures will consist of designing polynomial-time algorithms and proving rigorous bounds on their worst case performances.
We review many classical results in the field of approximation algorithms, highlighting different techniques commonly used for the design of such algorithms. Among others, we will treat the following topics:
• Greedy algorithms and Local Search
• Rounding Data and Dynamic Programming
• Deterministic Rounding of Linear Programs (LPs)
• Random Sampling and Randomized Rounding of LPs
• Primal-Dual Methods
• Hardness of Approximation
• Problem Solving under Uncertainty

Die Veranstaltung findet im NEOS Gebäude statt.

This lecture covers solution methods for PDEs based on techniques from the field of machine learning as well as techniques that combine classical and data-driven approaches. In addition to the more theoretically oriented lectures, various approaches are tried out in practice in the exercises.

In this lecture we will concentrate on 3 basic types of partial differential equations: the Poisson equation, the wave equation and the heat equation – which are prototypes of elliptic, hyperbolic and parabolic differential equations. They are linear equations, and for the solution theory we will make some use of linear functional analysis. See also http://www.math.uni-bremen.de/~hvogt/pde26.html

In the focus of this lecture are modern numerical tools for modeling applications and the corresponding research software. In the lecture, modern numerical methods and their demands on implementations are given. In the seminar exercises, principles of numerical software design are introduced and implementations are tested interactively. As third element, in a project week students focus on the practical implementation for a selected application case.

Non-parametric statistics provides methods for analyzing data without relying on strict distributional assumptions. It is especially useful when the underlying structure of the data is complex or unknown. Applications include estimating survival probabilities in medical studies, detecting patterns in environmental data, and analyzing consumer behavior in economics and marketing.

In this seminar we will dive deeper into some topics in data analysis, e.g. dimension reduction, low rank approximation, clustering and image filtering.

Statistical problems are described by statistical models. This means interpreting the data as realizations of random variables whose unconditional or conditional densities are described and estimated by statistical (regression) models. These models are usually identified by a set of parameters, which can be finite but also infinite dimensional. For this purpose, there are usually three types of possible models, depending on the structure of the data and the problem at hand: parametric, nonparametric, and semiparametric. A semiparametric model is characterized by the inclusion of both finite dimensional parametric and infinite dimensional nonparametric components. The main interest is usually in the finite dimensional parametric component, with the infinite dimensional component being co-estimated for the purpose of statistical inference and efficiency. In this seminar we will study the definition, properties, and applications of semiparametric models. Examples of semiparametric models include single-index models and Cox regression models for censored survival time data. We will also consider approaches to dealing with missing information in data sets. The use of semiparametric models plays a major role for medical studies, for example.

Prerequisites for participation in the seminar are basic knowledge of mathematical statistics (e.g. from Statistics 1) and of regression models (e.g. from Statistics 2). English speaking students are welcome.

In order to gain a good insight into the extensive theory of semi-parametric models, we will use the master thesis by Karel Vermeulen as our primary literature and study the chapters that are important for us in more detail, presenting the knowledge gained through the thesis in the form of individual presentations.

We will discuss linear and generalized linear regression models. While the models studied in Statistics I are mainly models for stochastically independent and identically distributed observables, regression models are used to model stochastically independent, but not identically distributed observables. In addition to the theoretical investigations, we will discuss real-life applications and software solutions (in R).

The aim of this course is to create an understanding of the major aspects of sports applications. The course is split into two parts: the first half has a classic lecture/tutorial style, whereas the second half will focus on the creation of individual sports applications.

The lectures will explain the necessary fundamentals, such as sensor technology, user feedback, and the conduction of empirical studies, along with a number of inspiring examples.

In the project part, own prototypes for sports applications are developed in small groups. The exact application as well as the technical implementation approach can be chosen freely. The final graded outcome of the course will be a small sports application about which a presentation has to be held and a documentation in a scientific paper style has to be written.

The course will be held in English.

The lecture will take place at DFKI.

Robotics is a complex field that emerged at the intersection of multiple disciplines such as physics, mathematics and computer science. New advances in hardware and software design and progress in artificial intelligence enable robotics research to pursue higher goals and achieve increased autonomy in various environments. For instance, robots can operate in disaster zones for search and rescue operations, can be employed in rehabilitation and healthcare, space and underwater exploration, etc. Given the complexity of such scenarios, it is essential to develop robust robotic systems with a high degree of autonomy, able to assist humans in difficult and tedious tasks.

This course aims to provide the fundamentals of modern robot control approaches that enable robots to operate in the environment autonomously. The course introduces a basic understanding of robotics, along with tools and methods to control mobile robotic platforms and manipulators. Firstly, the course presents the basics of modeling robotic systems in terms of geometry, kinematics, and dynamics. Next, real robotic systems are considered with their different types of sensors and actuators. Furthermore, system identification as a means to adapt the robot model to the reality is treated. Finally, the course provides methods and approaches to control robots from a deliberative and reactive point of view. Students will put this knowledge into practice during tutorials and exercise sheets using Python implementation and robot simulations.

Contents

• Introduction to Robotics and AI: long term robot autonomy, artificial intelligence, deliberative vs. reactive control, robotic applications.
• Robot Geometry and Transformations: robot transformations in the 3D space, exponential and logarithmic maps, forward and inverse geometric models.
• Kinematics: definition of twists and wrenches for rigid bodies, geometric Jacobian formulation, forward and inverse kinematics.
• Dynamics: an introduction to Lagrangian and Newtonian mechanics, robot dynamics formulation, recursive Newton-Euler algorithm.
• Sensing and Actuation Modalities: types of sensors and actuators, sensor fusion, actuator control.

A large number of problems arising in practical scenarios like communication, transportation, planning, logistics etc. can be modeled as combinatorial optimization problems. In most cases, these problems are computationally intractable and one often resorts to heuristics that provide sufficiently good solutions in reasonable amount of runtime. However, in most cases, such heuristics do not provide a worst case guarantee on the performance in comparison to the optimum solution. In this course, we shall study algorithms for combinatorial optimization problems which can provide strong mathematical guarantees on performance. The course aims at developing a toolkit for solving such problems. The lectures will consist of designing polynomial-time algorithms and proving rigorous bounds on their worst case performances.
We review many classical results in the field of approximation algorithms, highlighting different techniques commonly used for the design of such algorithms. Among others, we will treat the following topics:
• Greedy algorithms and Local Search
• Rounding Data and Dynamic Programming
• Deterministic Rounding of Linear Programs (LPs)
• Random Sampling and Randomized Rounding of LPs
• Primal-Dual Methods
• Hardness of Approximation
• Problem Solving under Uncertainty

The Modeling Project is a two-semester course designed to bridge the gap between academic mathematics and its practical applications in industry and research. Participants work in teams of two students to solve real-world problems, gaining experience in mathematical modeling, programming, and project management. In addition to technical skills, the course emphasizes professional communication, cultural awareness, and practical tools for collaborative work.

The lecture addresses Interactive Visualization of huge scientific Datasets. More information can also be found on the Homepage: https://www.uni-bremen.de/ag-hpvis

We will discuss linear and generalized linear regression models. While the models studied in Statistics I are mainly models for stochastically independent and identically distributed observables, regression models are used to model stochastically independent, but not identically distributed observables. In addition to the theoretical investigations, we will discuss real-life applications and software solutions (in R).

This lecture covers solution methods for PDEs based on techniques from the field of machine learning as well as techniques that combine classical and data-driven approaches. In addition to the more theoretically oriented lectures, various approaches are tried out in practice in the exercises.

In this lecture we will concentrate on 3 basic types of partial differential equations: the Poisson equation, the wave equation and the heat equation – which are prototypes of elliptic, hyperbolic and parabolic differential equations. They are linear equations, and for the solution theory we will make some use of linear functional analysis. See also http://www.math.uni-bremen.de/~hvogt/pde26.html

In the focus of this lecture are modern numerical tools for modeling applications and the corresponding research software. In the lecture, modern numerical methods and their demands on implementations are given. In the seminar exercises, principles of numerical software design are introduced and implementations are tested interactively. As third element, in a project week students focus on the practical implementation for a selected application case.

Non-parametric statistics provides methods for analyzing data without relying on strict distributional assumptions. It is especially useful when the underlying structure of the data is complex or unknown. Applications include estimating survival probabilities in medical studies, detecting patterns in environmental data, and analyzing consumer behavior in economics and marketing.

In this seminar we will dive deeper into some topics in data analysis, e.g. dimension reduction, low rank approximation, clustering and image filtering.

Statistical problems are described by statistical models. This means interpreting the data as realizations of random variables whose unconditional or conditional densities are described and estimated by statistical (regression) models. These models are usually identified by a set of parameters, which can be finite but also infinite dimensional. For this purpose, there are usually three types of possible models, depending on the structure of the data and the problem at hand: parametric, nonparametric, and semiparametric. A semiparametric model is characterized by the inclusion of both finite dimensional parametric and infinite dimensional nonparametric components. The main interest is usually in the finite dimensional parametric component, with the infinite dimensional component being co-estimated for the purpose of statistical inference and efficiency. In this seminar we will study the definition, properties, and applications of semiparametric models. Examples of semiparametric models include single-index models and Cox regression models for censored survival time data. We will also consider approaches to dealing with missing information in data sets. The use of semiparametric models plays a major role for medical studies, for example.

Prerequisites for participation in the seminar are basic knowledge of mathematical statistics (e.g. from Statistics 1) and of regression models (e.g. from Statistics 2). English speaking students are welcome.

In order to gain a good insight into the extensive theory of semi-parametric models, we will use the master thesis by Karel Vermeulen as our primary literature and study the chapters that are important for us in more detail, presenting the knowledge gained through the thesis in the form of individual presentations.

The aim of this course is to create an understanding of the major aspects of sports applications. The course is split into two parts: the first half has a classic lecture/tutorial style, whereas the second half will focus on the creation of individual sports applications.

The lectures will explain the necessary fundamentals, such as sensor technology, user feedback, and the conduction of empirical studies, along with a number of inspiring examples.

In the project part, own prototypes for sports applications are developed in small groups. The exact application as well as the technical implementation approach can be chosen freely. The final graded outcome of the course will be a small sports application about which a presentation has to be held and a documentation in a scientific paper style has to be written.

The course will be held in English.

The lecture will take place at DFKI.

Robotics is a complex field that emerged at the intersection of multiple disciplines such as physics, mathematics and computer science. New advances in hardware and software design and progress in artificial intelligence enable robotics research to pursue higher goals and achieve increased autonomy in various environments. For instance, robots can operate in disaster zones for search and rescue operations, can be employed in rehabilitation and healthcare, space and underwater exploration, etc. Given the complexity of such scenarios, it is essential to develop robust robotic systems with a high degree of autonomy, able to assist humans in difficult and tedious tasks.

This course aims to provide the fundamentals of modern robot control approaches that enable robots to operate in the environment autonomously. The course introduces a basic understanding of robotics, along with tools and methods to control mobile robotic platforms and manipulators. Firstly, the course presents the basics of modeling robotic systems in terms of geometry, kinematics, and dynamics. Next, real robotic systems are considered with their different types of sensors and actuators. Furthermore, system identification as a means to adapt the robot model to the reality is treated. Finally, the course provides methods and approaches to control robots from a deliberative and reactive point of view. Students will put this knowledge into practice during tutorials and exercise sheets using Python implementation and robot simulations.

Contents

• Introduction to Robotics and AI: long term robot autonomy, artificial intelligence, deliberative vs. reactive control, robotic applications.
• Robot Geometry and Transformations: robot transformations in the 3D space, exponential and logarithmic maps, forward and inverse geometric models.
• Kinematics: definition of twists and wrenches for rigid bodies, geometric Jacobian formulation, forward and inverse kinematics.
• Dynamics: an introduction to Lagrangian and Newtonian mechanics, robot dynamics formulation, recursive Newton-Euler algorithm.
• Sensing and Actuation Modalities: types of sensors and actuators, sensor fusion, actuator control.
• System Identification: methods to identify geometry, kinematic and dyanmic parameters of a robot.
• Localization: direct and probabilistic methods for robot localization, odometry, global localization, particle filter.
• Path Planning: path vs. trajectory generation, graph-based methods for path planning (e.g. Djikstra, A*).
• Dynamic Control: PD gravity compensation control, computed torque control, admittance vs impedance control.

Learning Outcomes

At the end of the course, the student is expected to be able to:

• Have a basic understanding about autonomous robots and AI.
• Compute the coordinate transformations for rigid bodies commonly used in robotics.
• Apply the robot forward and inverse kinematics.
• Describe a robotic system based on its kinematic and dynamic properties.
• Implement and understand the low-level actuator control methods.
• Describe the sensor and actuator modalities used in robotics, and explain their relevance for robot control.
• Apply system identification methods to improve robot models and adapt them to reality.
• Use probabilistic methods for robot localization.
• Generate a path for a mobile robot or manipulator using motion planning methods.
• Apply dynamical control methods on robotic systems such that they are robust against disturbances.
• Assess the strengths and limitations of different control methods presented in the course.
• Identify open challenges in robotics research and current trends in state-of-the-art.
• Communicate confidently using the terminology in the field of robotics.
• Cooperate and work in teams in order to solve tasks.

Examination

During the semester, students are required to complete 6 worksheets in groups of 4.
To pass the course, students must achieve a minimum of 50% on both the worksheets and the written exam.
The final grade is 40% based on worksheets and 60% on the written exam.

A large number of problems arising in practical scenarios like communication, transportation, planning, logistics etc. can be modeled as combinatorial optimization problems. In most cases, these problems are computationally intractable and one often resorts to heuristics that provide sufficiently good solutions in reasonable amount of runtime. However, in most cases, such heuristics do not provide a worst case guarantee on the performance in comparison to the optimum solution. In this course, we shall study algorithms for combinatorial optimization problems which can provide strong mathematical guarantees on performance. The course aims at developing a toolkit for solving such problems. The lectures will consist of designing polynomial-time algorithms and proving rigorous bounds on their worst case performances.
We review many classical results in the field of approximation algorithms, highlighting different techniques commonly used for the design of such algorithms. Among others, we will treat the following topics:
• Greedy algorithms and Local Search
• Rounding Data and Dynamic Programming
• Deterministic Rounding of Linear Programs (LPs)
• Random Sampling and Randomized Rounding of LPs
• Primal-Dual Methods
• Hardness of Approximation
• Problem Solving under Uncertainty
