Learning about such a fast-moving field is an exciting opportunity, but covering it in a traditional course setting comes with some caveats you should be aware of. | |||
* No canonical curriculum: Many topics in mathematics and computer science such as linear algebra, real analysis, discrete mathematics, data structures and algorithms, etc come with well-established curricula; courses on such subjects can be found at most universities, and they tend to cover similar topics in a similar order. This is not the case for emerging research areas like deep learning: the set of topics to be covered, as well as the order and way of thinking about each topic, has not yet been perfected. | |||
* Few learning materials: There are very few high-quality textbooks or other learning materials that synthesize or explain much of the content we will cover. In many cases, '''the research paper that introduced an idea is the best or only resource for learning about it'''. | |||
* Theory lags experiments: At present, '''video analytics is primarily an empirically driven research field'''. We may use mathematical notation to describe or communicate our algorithms and ideas, and many techniques are motivated by some mathematical or computational intuition, but in most cases, we rely on experiments rather than formal proofs to determine the scenarios where one technique might outperform another. This can sometimes be unsettling for students, as the question “why does that work?” may not always have a precise, theoretically-grounded answer. | |||
* Things will change: If you were to study deep learning ten years from now, it is very likely that it will look quite different from today. There may be new fundamental discoveries or new ways of thinking about things we already know; there may be some ideas we think are important today, that will turn out in retrospect not to have been. There may be similarly impactful results lurking right around the corner. | |||

*You are ''highly recommended'' to have completed a course on Data Science (e.g., "[https://www.swe.informatik.uni-goettingen.de/lectures/data-science-and-big-data-analytics-ws2015 Data Science and Big Data Analytics" taught by Dr. Steffen Herbold] or the Course "Machine Learning" by Stanford University) before entering this course. You need to be familiar with computer networking and mobile communications. | *You are ''highly recommended'' to have completed a course on Data Science (e.g., "[https://www.swe.informatik.uni-goettingen.de/lectures/data-science-and-big-data-analytics-ws2015 Data Science and Big Data Analytics" taught by Dr. Steffen Herbold] or the Course "Machine Learning" by Stanford University) before entering this course.

==Grading== | |||
* Participation: 50% | |||
** Task 1: 10% | |||
** Task 2: 20% | |||
** Task 3: 20% | |||
* Presentation: 20% | |||
**Present on your work with a slide to the audience (in English). | |||
**20 minutes of presentation followed by 10 minutes Q &A for one student. | |||
**30 minutes of presentation followed by 15 minutes Q &A for a team with two students. | |||
Suggestions for preparing the slides: Get your audiences to quickly understand the general idea. Figures, tables, and animations are better than sentences. Don't forget a summary of your ideas and contributions. | |||
All quoted images, tables and text need to indicate their source. | |||
Note: The team needs to clearly introduce the division of their work, and both team members need to present their respective work and answer questions. | |||
* Final report: 30% | |||
The report must be written in English according to common guidelines for scientific papers, 6-8 pages for a student and 12-16 pages for a team of content (excluding bibliography, etc.) in double-column latex. | |||
Please note that you can not directly copy content from papers or webpages, as this will be considered plagiarism, and we will treat it seriously. All quoted images and tables need to indicate their source. | |||
The source code, data (or URL of data) and a manual should be uploaded with the report. | |||
