| '''Learning from Imbalanced Data (assigned to Georgios Kaklamanos)'''
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 Christoph Rauterberg)'''
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'''
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'''

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'''
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.

| '''Routing in NDN'''
NDN is one of the most recent information-centric network designs. The focus of the network has shifted from ''location'' (IP addresses) to the ''content'' (names of the contents).
In IP, address spaces are divided into domains by some network management entities (ISPs) and the routing take advantage of this division.
But in NDN, content names no longer follow this rule. This complicates the routing in NDN.

This study will focus on the different routing mechanisms and compare the pros and cons of each mechanism.

Students who have knowledge about routing preferred.
