==Course description==

This course covers selected topics on the up-to-date Internet technologies and research. Each student takes a topic, does a presentation and writes a report on it. Besides the introduction meeting, there are no regular meetings, lectures or classes for this course. The purpose of this course is to familiarize the students with new technologies, enable independent study of a specific topic, and train presentation and writing skills.

The informational meeting at the beginning of the course will cover some guidelines on scientific presenting and writing.

Due to topic advisors' workload limitation, we could only provide limited topics, and the topic assignment will be on the basis of first come first serve principle. Please contact the topic advisor directly for the topic availability.

==Passing requirements==
*Actively and frequently participate in the project communication with your topic advisor. The topic advisor has the right to decide whether a student is eligible for the final presentation or not according to their communication.
**This accounts for 20% of your grade.
* Present the selected topic (20 min. presentation + 10 min. Q&A).
** This accounts for 40% of your grade.
* Write a report on the selected topic (12-15 pages) (LaTeX Template:[ftp://ftp.springer.de/pub/tex/latex/llncs/latex2e/llncs2e.zip]).
** This accounts for 40% of your grade.
* Please check the [[#Schedule]] and adhere to it.

==Schedule==
* '''Apr. 20, 16:00ct''': Introduction meeting
* '''Jun. 22, 2017''' : Deadline for registration

| '''Towards SDN and NFV Fault Management and High Availability'''
Network Function Virtualisation (NFV), is gaining rapid momentum, but are they reliable? can they conform with the Telecom operators latency and availability requirements of Fine Nines or Six Nines? The focus of this work is to first study and understand the concerns with NFV in terms of their failures, what amount of availability can they support. Second, study the state-of-the-art in terms of techniques that have been provided in the Cloud and Data Center networks for the traditional Virtual Machine based approaches and make the clear distinction of what aspects can and cannot be adapted? and what are the characteristics of NFV that make them differ from traditional VM based solutions? and aspects and solutions that can be adapted to achieve scalability, efficiency, and reliability in the NFV environments.

| '''Learning from Imbalanced Data''' (assigned to Christoph Rauterberg)
When building and training classifiers for classification problems, one commonly encountered problem is that of imbalanced data. For instance, in the case of a binary classifier, this means that one class is hugely overrepresented in the data available. Training classifiers for this kind of datasets has been a problem for some time. In this work, your task is to i) precisely introduce the imbalanced data problem, ii) discuss the state of the art of approaches for mitigating this problem (both from the perspective of learning algorithms and data manipulation techniques) and iii) find out what issues still remain open until today. Note that this topic requires a background in data science, and in particular in classification algorithms. Also, this topic requires a comparatively high reading effort.

| '''Deep Learning and its (possible) flaws''' (assigned to Sven Voigt)
One recent trend in machine learning is 'deep learning', where neural networks are employed for solving a wide range of problems. One prominent example of such problems is image classification. While neural networks are in fact delivering sometimes great results, they may also have some weak spots. In this work, your task is to i) make yourself familiar with neural networks, ii) discuss the state-of-the-art in image classification, and iii) to investigate some possible flaws in neural networks. Note that for this topic a background in data science, and in particular in classification algorithms, is strongly recommended. Also, this topic requires a comparatively high reading effort.

| '''Multicast Video Streaming'''
In network communication, the transmission of information to multiple recipients can greatly benefits from multicast technology in terms of bandwidth efficiency. In particular, video streaming and downloads are beginning to take a larger share of bandwidth and will probably grow to more than 80% of all consumer Internet traffic by 2020. Although multicast transmission can easily resolve the bandwidth limitations, several issues persist, like flow and congestion control. The study involves analyzing and comparing the different solutions proposed in both research and industry.

|'''ICN - Information Centric Networking'''

Content Centric Networking (CCN) is a new ambitious proposal to replace the IP protocol. A better and faster content distribution, improved privacy, integrated cryptography and easy P2P communication are among the key elements of this architecture. On the other hand problems like efficiency and scalability of the name-based routing, support of existing application and new ones and the possibility to actually deploy this technology are still open and actively discussed, making CCN one of the most active research field in networking.

By choosing this topic you will gain a general knowledge of the many architecture proposed for ICN and will have to gain insight into one of the problems like routing or security, or solutions (i.e. applications on top of NDN).

| '''Towards SDN and NFV Fault Management and High Availability'''
Network Function Virtualisation (NFV), is gaining rapid momentum, but are they reliable? can they conform with the Telecom operators latency and availability requirements of Fine Nines or Six Nines? The focus of this work is to first study and understand the concerns with NFV in terms of their failures, what amount of availability can they support. Second, study the state-of-the-art in terms of techniques that have been provided in the Cloud and Data Center networks for the traditional Virtual Machine based approaches and make the clear distinction of what aspects can and cannot be adapted? and what are the characteristics of NFV that make them differ from traditional VM based solutions? and aspects and solutions that can be adapted to achieve scalability, efficiency, and reliability in the NFV environments.

| '''Learning from Imbalanced Data''' (assigned to Christoph Rauterberg)
When building and training classifiers for classification problems, one commonly encountered problem is that of imbalanced data. For instance, in the case of a binary classifier, this means that one class is hugely overrepresented in the data available. Training classifiers for this kind of datasets has been a problem for some time. In this work, your task is to i) precisely introduce the imbalanced data problem, ii) discuss the state of the art of approaches for mitigating this problem (both from the perspective of learning algorithms and data manipulation techniques) and iii) find out what issues still remain open until today. Note that this topic requires a background in data science, and in particular in classification algorithms. Also, this topic requires a comparatively high reading effort.

| '''Deep Learning and its (possible) flaws''' (assigned to Sven Voigt)
One recent trend in machine learning is 'deep learning', where neural networks are employed for solving a wide range of problems. One prominent example of such problems is image classification. While neural networks are in fact delivering sometimes great results, they may also have some weak spots. In this work, your task is to i) make yourself familiar with neural networks, ii) discuss the state-of-the-art in image classification, and iii) to investigate some possible flaws in neural networks. Note that for this topic a background in data science, and in particular in classification algorithms, is strongly recommended. Also, this topic requires a comparatively high reading effort.

| '''Multicast Video Streaming'''
In network communication, the transmission of information to multiple recipients can greatly benefits from multicast technology in terms of bandwidth efficiency. In particular, video streaming and downloads are beginning to take a larger share of bandwidth and will probably grow to more than 80% of all consumer Internet traffic by 2020. Although multicast transmission can easily resolve the bandwidth limitations, several issues persist, like flow and congestion control. The study involves analyzing and comparing the different solutions proposed in both research and industry.

| '''Towards SDN and NFV Fault Management and High Availability'''
Network Function Virtualisation (NFV), is gaining rapid momentum, but are they reliable? can they conform with the Telecom operators latency and availability requirements of Fine Nines or Six Nines? The focus of this work is to first study and understand the concerns with NFV in terms of their failures, what amount of availability can they support. Second, study the state-of-the-art in terms of techniques that have been provided in the Cloud and Data Center networks for the traditional Virtual Machine based approaches and make the clear distinction of what aspects can and cannot be adapted? and what are the characteristics of NFV that make them differ from traditional VM based solutions? and aspects and solutions that can be adapted to achieve scalability, efficiency, and reliability in the NFV environments.

| '''Learning from Imbalanced Data'''
When building and training classifiers for classification problems, one commonly encountered problem is that of imbalanced data. For instance, in the case of a binary classifier, this means that one class is hugely overrepresented in the data available. Training classifiers for this kind of datasets has been a problem for some time. In this work, your task is to i) precisely introduce the imbalanced data problem, ii) discuss the state of the art of approaches for mitigating this problem (both from the perspective of learning algorithms and data manipulation techniques) and iii) find out what issues still remain open until today. Note that this topic requires a background in data science, and in particular in classification algorithms. Also, this topic requires a comparatively high reading effort.

| '''Deep Learning and its (possible) flaws''' (assigned to Sven Voigt)
One recent trend in machine learning is 'deep learning', where neural networks are employed for solving a wide range of problems. One prominent example of such problems is image classification. While neural networks are in fact delivering sometimes great results, they may also have some weak spots. In this work, your task is to i) make yourself familiar with neural networks, ii) discuss the state-of-the-art in image classification, and iii) to investigate some possible flaws in neural networks. Note that for this topic a background in data science, and in particular in classification algorithms, is strongly recommended. Also, this topic requires a comparatively high reading effort.

| '''Multicast Video Streaming'''
In network communication, the transmission of information to multiple recipients can greatly benefits from multicast technology in terms of bandwidth efficiency. In particular, video streaming and downloads are beginning to take a larger share of bandwidth and will probably grow to more than 80% of all consumer Internet traffic by 2020. Although multicast transmission can easily resolve the bandwidth limitations, several issues persist, like flow and congestion control. The study involves analyzing and comparing the different solutions proposed in both research and industry.

|'''ICN - Information Centric Networking (assigned to Mian Athar Naqash, Ahmed Towfique, Fabio Sortino and Ander Schiavella)'''

Content Centric Networking (CCN) is a new ambitious proposal to replace the IP protocol. A better and faster content distribution, improved privacy, integrated cryptography and easy P2P communication are among the key elements of this architecture. On the other hand problems like efficiency and scalability of the name-based routing, support of existing application and new ones and the possibility to actually deploy this technology are still open and actively discussed, making CCN one of the most active research field in networking.

By choosing this topic you will gain a general knowledge of the many architecture proposed for ICN and will have to gain insight into one of the problems like routing or security, or solutions (i.e. applications on top of NDN).

| '''Learning from Imbalanced Data (assigned to Oleh Astappiev)'''
When building and training classifiers for classification problems, one commonly encountered problem is that of imbalanced data. For instance, in the case of a binary classifier, this means that one class is hugely overrepresented in the data available. Training classifiers for this kind of datasets has been a problem for some time. In this work, your task is to i) precisely introduce the imbalanced data problem, ii) discuss the state of the art of approaches for mitigating this problem (both from the perspective of learning algorithms and data manipulation techniques) and iii) find out what issues still remain open until today. Note that this topic requires a background in data science, and in particular in classification algorithms. Also, this topic requires a comparatively high reading effort.

One recent trend in machine learning is 'deep learning', where neural networks are employed for solving a wide range of problems. One prominent example of such problems is image classification. While neural networks are in fact delivering sometimes great results, they may also have some weak spots. In this work, your task is to i) make yourself familiar with neural networks, ii) discuss the state-of-the-art in image classification, and iii) to investigate some possible flaws in neural networks. Note that for this topic a background in data science, and in particular in classification algorithms, is strongly recommended. Also, this topic requires a comparatively high reading effort.

Content Centric Networking (CCN) is a new ambitious proposal to replace the IP protocol. A better and faster content distribution, improved privacy, integrated cryptography and easy P2P communication are among the key elements of this architecture. On the other hand problems like efficiency and scalability of the name-based routing, support of existing application and new ones and the possibility to actually deploy this technology are still open and actively discussed, making CCN one of the most active research field in networking.

By choosing this topic you will gain a general knowledge of the many architecture proposed for ICN and will have to gain insight into one of the problems like routing or security, or solutions (i.e. applications on top of NDN).

| '''Learning from Imbalanced Data (assigned to Oleh Astappiev)'''
When building and training classifiers for classification problems, one commonly encountered problem is that of imbalanced data. For instance, in the case of a binary classifier, this means that one class is hugely overrepresented in the data available. Training classifiers for this kind of datasets has been a problem for some time. In this work, your task is to i) precisely introduce the imbalanced data problem, ii) discuss the state of the art of approaches for mitigating this problem (both from the perspective of learning algorithms and data manipulation techniques) and iii) find out what issues still remain open until today. Note that this topic requires a background in data science, and in particular in classification algorithms. Also, this topic requires a comparatively high reading effort.

One recent trend in machine learning is 'deep learning', where neural networks are employed for solving a wide range of problems. One prominent example of such problems is image classification. While neural networks are in fact delivering sometimes great results, they may also have some weak spots. In this work, your task is to i) make yourself familiar with neural networks, ii) discuss the state-of-the-art in image classification, and iii) to investigate some possible flaws in neural networks.

ISPs sell transit connectivity bulk based on aggregate internet usage which is popularly known as blended rate pricing. Though blended rate pricing is simple, it is inefficient especially wrt resource allocation. Tiered pricing is one of the alternative. The goal of this work is to understand motivation for tiered pricing and discuss state-of-the-art in tiered pricing.

| '''Learning from Imbalanced Data (assigned to Oleh Astappiev)'''
When building and training classifiers for classification problems, one commonly encountered problem is that of imbalanced data. For instance, in the case of a binary classifier, this means that one class is hugely overrepresented in the data available. Training classifiers for this kind of datasets has been a problem for some time. In this work, your task is to i) precisely introduce the imbalanced data problem, ii) discuss the state of the art of approaches for mitigating this problem (both from the perspective of learning algorithms and data manipulation techniques) and iii) find out what issues still remain open until today. Note that this topic requires a background in data science, and in particular in classification algorithms. Also, this topic requires a comparatively high reading effort.

One recent trend in machine learning is 'deep learning', where neural networks are employed for solving a wide range of problems. One prominent example of such problems is image classification. While neural networks are in fact delivering sometimes great results, they may also have some weak spots. In this work, your task is to i) make yourself familiar with neural networks, ii) discuss the state-of-the-art in image classification, and iii) to investigate some possible flaws in neural networks. Note that for this topic a background in data science, and in particular in classification algorithms, is strongly recommended. Also, this topic requires a comparatively high reading effort.

|'''ICN - Information Centric Networking (assigned to Mian Athar Naqash, Ahmed Towfique, Fabio Sortino and Ander Schiavella)'''

Content Centric Networking (CCN) is a new ambitious proposal to replace the IP protocol. A better and faster content distribution, improved privacy, integrated cryptography and easy P2P communication are among the key elements of this architecture. On the other hand problems like efficiency and scalability of the name-based routing, support of existing application and new ones and the possibility to actually deploy this technology are still open and actively discussed, making CCN one of the most active research field in networking.

By choosing this topic you will gain a general knowledge of the many architecture proposed for ICN and will have to gain insight into one of the problems like routing or security, or solutions (i.e. applications on top of NDN).

| '''Learning from Imbalanced Data (assigned to Oleh Astappiev)'''
When building and training classifiers for classification problems, one commonly encountered problem is that of imbalanced data. For instance, in the case of a binary classifier, this means that one class is hugely overrepresented in the data available. Training classifiers for this kind of datasets has been a problem for some time. In this work, your task is to i) precisely introduce the imbalanced data problem, ii) discuss the state of the art of approaches for mitigating this problem (both from the perspective of learning algorithms and data manipulation techniques) and iii) find out what issues still remain open until today. Note that this topic requires a background in data science, and in particular in classification algorithms. Also, this topic requires a comparatively high reading effort.

| '''Deep Learning and its (possible) flaws (assigned to Sven Voigt)'''
One recent trend in machine learning is 'deep learning', where neural networks are employed for solving a wide range of problems. One prominent example of such problems is image classification. While neural networks are in fact delivering sometimes great results, they may also have some weak spots. In this work, your task is to i) make yourself familiar with neural networks, ii) discuss the state-of-the-art in image classification, and iii) to investigate some possible flaws in neural networks. Note that for this topic a background in data science, and in particular in classification algorithms, is strongly recommended. Also, this topic requires a comparatively high reading effort.

You have 20 minutes to present your topic followed by 10 minutes of discussion. You must keep it within the time limit. Please send your slides to your topic advisor for any possible feedback before your presentation.

Hints for preparing the presentation:
20 minutes are too short to present a topic fully.
It is alright to focus just on one certain important aspect.
Limit the introduction of basics.
Make sure to ﬁnish in time.

Suggestions for preparing the slides:
No more than 20 pages/slides.
Get your audiences to quickly understand the general idea.
Figures, tables and animations are better than sentences.
Summary of the topic: thinking in your own words.

| '''Learning from Imbalanced Data (assigned to Oleh Astappiev)'''
When building and training classifiers for classification problems, one commonly encountered problem is that of imbalanced data. For instance, in the case of a binary classifier, this means that one class is hugely overrepresented in the data available. Training classifiers for this kind of datasets has been a problem for some time. In this work, your task is to i) precisely introduce the imbalanced data problem, ii) discuss the state of the art of approaches for mitigating this problem (both from the perspective of learning algorithms and data manipulation techniques) and iii) find out what issues still remain open until today. Note that this topic requires a background in data science, and in particular in classification algorithms. Also, this topic requires a comparatively high reading effort.

| '''Deep Learning and its (possible) flaws (assigned to Sven Voigt)'''
One recent trend in machine learning is 'deep learning', where neural networks are employed for solving a wide range of problems. One prominent example of such problems is image classification. While neural networks are in fact delivering sometimes great results, they may also have some weak spots. In this work, your task is to i) make yourself familiar with neural networks, ii) discuss the state-of-the-art in image classification, and iii) to investigate some possible flaws in neural networks. Note that for this topic a background in data science, and in particular in classification algorithms, is strongly recommended. Also, this topic requires a comparatively high reading effort.

|'''ICN - Information Centric Networking (assigned to Mian Athar Naqash, Ahmed Towfique, Fabio Sortino and Ander Schiavella)'''

Content Centric Networking (CCN) is a new ambitious proposal to replace the IP protocol. A better and faster content distribution, improved privacy, integrated cryptography and easy P2P communication are among the key elements of this architecture. On the other hand problems like efficiency and scalability of the name-based routing, support of existing application and new ones and the possibility to actually deploy this technology are still open and actively discussed, making CCN one of the most active research field in networking.

By choosing this topic you will gain a general knowledge of the many architecture proposed for ICN and will have to gain insight into one of the problems like routing or security, or solutions (i.e. applications on top of NDN).

| '''Learning from Imbalanced Data (assigned to Oleh Astappiev)'''
When building and training classifiers for classification problems, one commonly encountered problem is that of imbalanced data. For instance, in the case of a binary classifier, this means that one class is hugely overrepresented in the data available. Training classifiers for this kind of datasets has been a problem for some time. In this work, your task is to i) precisely introduce the imbalanced data problem, ii) discuss the state of the art of approaches for mitigating this problem (both from the perspective of learning algorithms and data manipulation techniques) and iii) find out what issues still remain open until today. Note that this topic requires a background in data science, and in particular in classification algorithms. Also, this topic requires a comparatively high reading effort.

While neural networks are in fact delivering sometimes great results, they may also have some weak spots. In this work, your task is to i) make yourself familiar with neural networks, ii) discuss the state-of-the-art in image classification, and iii) to investigate some possible flaws in neural networks. Note that for this topic a background in data science, and in particular in classification algorithms, is strongly recommended. Also, this topic requires a comparatively high reading effort.

|'''ICN - Information Centric Networking (assigned to Mian Athar Naqash, Ahmed Towfique, Fabio Sortino and Ander Schiavella)'''

Content Centric Networking (CCN) is a new ambitious proposal to replace the IP protocol. A better and faster content distribution, improved privacy, integrated cryptography and easy P2P communication are among the key elements of this architecture. On the other hand problems like efficiency and scalability of the name-based routing, support of existing application and new ones and the possibility to actually deploy this technology are still open and actively discussed, making CCN one of the most active research field in networking.

By choosing this topic you will gain a general knowledge of the many architecture proposed for ICN and will have to gain insight into one of the problems like routing or security, or solutions (i.e. applications on top of NDN).

| '''Learning from Imbalanced Data (assigned to Oleh Astappiev)'''
When building and training classifiers for classification problems, one commonly encountered problem is that of imbalanced data. For instance, in the case of a binary classifier, this means that one class is hugely overrepresented in the data available. Training classifiers for this kind of datasets has been a problem for some time. In this work, your task is to i) precisely introduce the imbalanced data problem, ii) discuss the state of the art of approaches for mitigating this problem (both from the perspective of learning algorithms and data manipulation techniques) and iii) find out what issues still remain open until today. Note that this topic requires a background in data science, and in particular in classification algorithms. Also, this topic requires a comparatively high reading effort.

One recent trend in machine learning is 'deep learning', where neural networks are employed for solving a wide range of problems. One prominent example of such problems is image classification. While neural networks are in fact delivering sometimes great results, they may also have some weak spots. In this work, your task is to i) make yourself familiar with neural networks, ii) discuss the state-of-the-art in image classification, and iii) to investigate some possible flaws in neural networks. Note that for this topic a background in data science, and in particular in classification algorithms, is strongly recommended. Also, this topic requires a comparatively high reading effort.

| '''Learning from Imbalanced Data (assigned to Oleh Astappiev)'''
When building and training classifiers for classification problems, one commonly encountered problem is that of imbalanced data. For instance, in the case of a binary classifier, this means that one class is hugely overrepresented in the data available. Training classifiers for this kind of datasets has been a problem for some time. In this work, your task is to i) precisely introduce the imbalanced data problem, ii) discuss the state of the art of approaches for mitigating this problem (both from the perspective of learning algorithms and data manipulation techniques) and iii) find out what issues still remain open until today. Note that this topic requires a background in data science, and in particular in classification algorithms. Also, this topic requires a comparatively high reading effort.

|'''ICN - Information Centric Networking (assigned to Mian Athar Naqash, Ahmed Towfique, Fabio Sortino and Ander Schiavella)'''

Content Centric Networking (CCN) is a new ambitious proposal to replace the IP protocol. A better and faster content distribution, improved privacy, integrated cryptography and easy P2P communication are among the key elements of this architecture. On the other hand problems like efficiency and scalability of the name-based routing, support of existing application and new ones and the possibility to actually deploy this technology are still open and actively discussed, making CCN one of the most active research field in networking.

By choosing this topic you will gain a general knowledge of the many architecture proposed for ICN and will have to gain insight into one of the problems like routing or security, or solutions (i.e. applications on top of NDN).

| '''Learning from Imbalanced Data (assigned to Oleh Astappiev)'''
When building and training classifiers for classification problems, one commonly encountered problem is that of imbalanced data. For instance, in the case of a binary classifier, this means that one class is hugely overrepresented in the data available. Training classifiers for this kind of datasets has been a problem for some time. In this work, your task is to i) precisely introduce the imbalanced data problem, ii) discuss the state of the art of approaches for mitigating this problem (both from the perspective of learning algorithms and data manipulation techniques) and iii) find out what issues still remain open until today. Note that this topic requires a background in data science, and in particular in classification algorithms. Also, this topic requires a comparatively high reading effort.

One recent trend in machine learning is 'deep learning', where neural networks are employed for solving a wide range of problems. One prominent example of such problems is image classification. While neural networks are in fact delivering sometimes great results, they may also have some weak spots. In this work, your task is to i) make yourself familiar with neural networks, ii) discuss the state-of-the-art in image classification, and iii) to investigate some possible flaws in neural networks. Note that for this topic a background in data science, and in particular in classification algorithms, is strongly recommended. Also, this topic requires a comparatively high reading effort.

| '''Learning from Imbalanced Data (assigned to Oleh Astappiev)'''
When building and training classifiers for classification problems, one commonly encountered problem is that of imbalanced data. For instance, in the case of a binary classifier, this means that one class is hugely overrepresented in the data available. Training classifiers for this kind of datasets has been a problem for some time. In this work, your task is to i) precisely introduce the imbalanced data problem, ii) discuss the state of the art of approaches for mitigating this problem (both from the perspective of learning algorithms and data manipulation techniques) and iii) find out what issues still remain open until today. Note that this topic requires a background in data science, and in particular in classification algorithms. Also, this topic requires a comparatively high reading effort.

One recent trend in machine learning is 'deep learning', where neural networks are employed for solving a wide range of problems. One prominent example of such problems is image classification. While neural networks are in fact delivering sometimes great results, they may also have some weak spots. In this work, your task is to i) make yourself familiar with neural networks, ii) discuss the state-of-the-art in image classification, and iii) to investigate some possible flaws in neural networks. Note that for this topic a background in data science, and in particular in classification algorithms, is strongly recommended. Also, this topic requires a comparatively high reading effort.

==Workﬂow==

=== 1. Select a topic ===
A student picks a topic to work on. You can pick up a topic and start working '''at any time'''. However, make sure to notify the advisor of the topic before starting to work.

=== 2. Get your work advised ===
For each topic, a topic advisor is available. He is your contact person for questions and problems regarding the topic. He supports you as much as you want, so please do not hesitate to approach him for any advice or with any questions you might have. It is recommended (and not mandatory) that you schedule a face-to-face meeting with him right after you select your topic.

=== 3. Approach your topic ===

* By choosing a topic, you choose the direction of elaboration.
* You may work in different styles, for example:
** Survey: Basic introduction, overview of the ﬁeld; general problems, methods, approaches.

Please send your slides to your topic advisor for any possible feedback before your presentation.

Hints for preparing the presentation:
20 minutes are too short to present a topic fully.
It is alright to focus just on one certain important aspect.
Limit the introduction of basics.
Make sure to ﬁnish in time.

Suggestions for preparing the slides:
No more than 20 pages/slides.
Get your audiences to quickly understand the general idea.
Figures, tables and animations are better than sentences.
Summary of the topic: thinking in your own words.

=== 5. Write your report ===

* Present the problem with its background.
* Detail the approaches, techniques, methods to handle the problem.
* Evaluate and assess those approaches (e.g., pros and cons).
* Give a short outlook on potential future developments.

The report must be written in English according to common guidelines for scientific papers, between 12 and 15 pages of content (excluding the table of content, bibliography, etc.).

=== 6. Course schedule===
There are no regular meetings, lectures or classes for this course. The work is expected to be done by yourself with the assistance of your topic advisor. Please follow the [[#Schedule]] to take appropriate actions.

| '''Learning from Imbalanced Data (assigned to Oleh Astappiev)'''
When building and training classifiers for classification problems, one commonly encountered problem is that of imbalanced data. For instance, in the case of a binary classifier, this means that one class is hugely overrepresented in the data available. Training classifiers for this kind of datasets has been a problem for some time. In this work, your task is to i) precisely introduce the imbalanced data problem, ii) discuss the state of the art of approaches for mitigating this problem (both from the perspective of learning algorithms and data manipulation techniques) and iii) find out what issues still remain open until today. Note that this topic requires a background in data science, and in particular in classification algorithms. Also, this topic requires a comparatively high reading effort.

|'''ICN - Information Centric Networking (assigned to Mian Athar Naqash, Ahmed Towfique, Fabio Sortino and Ander Schiavella)'''

Content Centric Networking (CCN) is a new ambitious proposal to replace the IP protocol. A better and faster content distribution, improved privacy, integrated cryptography and easy P2P communication are among the key elements of this architecture. On the other hand problems like efficiency and scalability of the name-based routing, support of existing application and new ones and the possibility to actually deploy this technology are still open and actively discussed, making CCN one of the most active research field in networking.

By choosing this topic you will gain a general knowledge of the many architecture proposed for ICN and will have to gain insight into one of the problems like routing or security, or solutions (i.e. applications on top of NDN).

| '''Learning from Imbalanced Data (assigned to Oleh Astappiev)'''
When building and training classifiers for classification problems, one commonly encountered problem is that of imbalanced data. For instance, in the case of a binary classifier, this means that one class is hugely overrepresented in the data available. Training classifiers for this kind of datasets has been a problem for some time. In this work, your task is to i) precisely introduce the imbalanced data problem, ii) discuss the state of the art of approaches for mitigating this problem (both from the perspective of learning algorithms and data manipulation techniques) and iii) find out what issues still remain open until today. Note that this topic requires a background in data science, and in particular in classification algorithms. Also, this topic requires a comparatively high reading effort.

| '''Deep Learning and its (possible) flaws (assigned to Sven Voigt)'''
One recent trend in machine learning is 'deep learning', where neural networks are employed for solving a wide range of problems. One prominent example of such problems is image classification. While neural networks are in fact delivering sometimes great results, they may also have some weak spots. In this work, your task is to i) make yourself familiar with neural networks, ii) discuss the state-of-the-art in image classification, and iii) to investigate some possible flaws in neural networks. Note that for this topic a background in data science, and in particular in classification algorithms, is strongly recommended. Also, this topic requires a comparatively high reading effort.

|'''ICN - Information Centric Networking (assigned to Mian Athar Naqash, Ahmed Towfique, Fabio Sortino and Ander Schiavella)'''

Content Centric Networking (CCN) is a new ambitious proposal to replace the IP protocol. A better and faster content distribution, improved privacy, integrated cryptography and easy P2P communication are among the key elements of this architecture. On the other hand problems like efficiency and scalability of the name-based routing, support of existing application and new ones and the possibility to actually deploy this technology are still open and actively discussed, making CCN one of the most active research field in networking.

By choosing this topic you will gain a general knowledge of the many architecture proposed for ICN and will have to gain insight into one of the problems like routing or security, or solutions (i.e. applications on top of NDN).

| '''Learning from Imbalanced Data (assigned to Oleh Astappiev)'''
When building and training classifiers for classification problems, one commonly encountered problem is that of imbalanced data. For instance, in the case of a binary classifier, this means that one class is hugely overrepresented in the data available. Training classifiers for this kind of datasets has been a problem for some time. In this work, your task is to i) precisely introduce the imbalanced data problem, ii) discuss the state of the art of approaches for mitigating this problem (both from the perspective of learning algorithms and data manipulation techniques) and iii) find out what issues still remain open until today. Note that this topic requires a background in data science, and in particular in classification algorithms. Also, this topic requires a comparatively high reading effort.

One recent trend in machine learning is 'deep learning', where neural networks are employed for solving a wide range of problems. One prominent example of such problems is image classification. While neural networks are in fact delivering sometimes great results, they may also have some weak spots. In this work, your task is to i) make yourself familiar with neural networks, ii) discuss the state-of-the-art in image classification, and iii) to investigate some possible flaws in neural networks. Note that for this topic a background in data science, and in particular in classification algorithms, is strongly recommended. Also, this topic requires a comparatively high reading effort.

|'''ICN - Information Centric Networking (assigned to Mian Athar Naqash, Ahmed Towfique, Fabio Sortino and Ander Schiavella)'''

Content Centric Networking (CCN) is a new ambitious proposal to replace the IP protocol. A better and faster content distribution, improved privacy, integrated cryptography and easy P2P communication are among the key elements of this architecture. On the other hand problems like efficiency and scalability of the name-based routing, support of existing application and new ones and the possibility to actually deploy this technology are still open and actively discussed, making CCN one of the most active research field in networking.

By choosing this topic you will gain a general knowledge of the many architecture proposed for ICN and will have to gain insight into one of the problems like routing or security, or solutions (i.e. applications on top of NDN).

Training classifiers for this kind of datasets has been a problem for some time. In this work, your task is to i) precisely introduce the imbalanced data problem, ii) discuss the state of the art of approaches for mitigating this problem (both from the perspective of learning algorithms and data manipulation techniques) and iii) find out what issues still remain open until today.
