| '''What is deep learning and its applications?''' ''( Assigned to Alexander Warnecke)'' | | '''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. | |||

|'''On the recognition of emotion from Social media and sensor readings''' ''(assigned to Amine Lasfar)'' | |||
Recently, there are multiple efforts to extend the capabilities of data analysis tools e.g. for social media or wearable systems towards the recognition of sentiment - human emotions and internal states. | |||
Examples are studies on emotion contagion on facebook, or the introduction of wearable technology capable to capture sentiment like prominently glasses or watches. | |||

'''Random Matrix Theory for signal processing ''' | |||
Random matrix theory has numerous applications in physics, statistics and engineering. | |||
Although initially motivated by practical experimental problems, random matrices are now used in very diverse fields including physics, mathematics, but also neural networks, information theory and signal processing. | |||
The student will recapitulate the basic concepts of random matrix theory and summarise recent advances in this field with relation to signal processing, in particular in communications. | |||
