Data Science & KI

Basics for your own research

Traget group: PhD candidates and postdocs, qualifying professors
Language: German (English self-study units)
Duration of the program: 6 month (June 1 to November 30, 2023)

Program Overview

Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (AI) enable the study of large numbers of research subjects and new ways of pattern recognition. Big Data analytics and learning AI are now being used across disciplines.

PoGS' newly developed 6-month certificate program Data Science & AI combines AI fundamentals with hands-on work on big data and computational machine learning programming in Python. It consists of 14 synchronous workshop days, asynchronous self-study units, and lectures by experts on different application fields, law, ethics, and research data management. Gain a foundation for your own research with AI (or on AI), teaching, and the non-academic job market!

Program goals

• Knowledge of the different types of AI (Symbolic AI, Connectivitic AI) and their use cases (e.g. Generative AI).
• Understanding of basic concepts, mechanisms and algorithms (search and agent, knowledge representation, propositional logic, machine learning, deep learning, reinforcement learning).
• Fundamentals of object-oriented and procedural programming in Python for data cleaning, processing, and visualization.
• Comprehensible programming of Machine Learning
• Understanding of legal, ethical, and managerial challenges in using it for research, as well as knowledge and application of established solutions
