Data Science Bootcamp (openHPI)

The ultimate goal of the bootcamp is to cultivate strong data science skills with an emphasis on machine learning techniques to satisfactorily meet and exceed the requests of the Data science world. In the process, we will develop good habits for operating independently as data scientists and for operating as members of productive data science teams.

Why is the topic relevant? Why is it on everyone's mind?
Having data science and machine learning skills nowadays can potentially increase your success chances, whether that be as an individual or a business. Many industries offer their employees the opportunity to enroll in upskilling programs. In that way, domain experts can leverage the knowledge in their given field and seek higher roles in their company. As the demand for data science skills rises higher and higher, having a rounded understanding of data science and applying that knowledge practically can help widen your scope of knowledge.

Künstliche Intelligenz und Maschinelles Lernen in der Praxis (openHPI)

Alle reden über “Maschinelles Lernen”, "Neuronale Netze", "Künstliche Intelligenz" und "Deep Learning - doch wie diese Techniken genau in der Praxis funktionieren und eingesetzt werden, erfahren Sie in diesem weiterführenden openHPI Kurs. In diesem vierwöchigen Gratis-Kurs können Jugendliche und andere Interessierte ohne Programmier-Erfahrung und technisches Hintergrundwissen lernen, wie Machine Learning Projekte in der Praxis umgesetzt werden können. Wir wollen dabei das Basiswissen aus dem Kurs “Künstliche Intelligenz und Maschinelles Lernen für Einsteiger” weiter vertiefen und Ihnen ein Gefühl für die Chancen und Herausforderungen von Machine Learning Projekten in der Praxis vermitteln. Dafür betrachten wir mehrere konkrete Anwendungsfälle - unter anderem die Erkennung von Gebärdensprache aus Bildern und die Stimmungsanalyse von Zeitungsartikeln. Geleitet wird der Kurs von den Masterstudenten Johannes Hötter und Christian Warmuth.

KI und Datenqualität - Perspektiven aus Data Science, Ethik, Normung und Recht (openHPI)

Ohne Daten gibt es keine Künstliche Intelligenz. Maschinelles Lernen benutzt große Datenmengen, um KI-Modelle zu trainieren. Eine der größten Herausforderungen beim Einsatz von gesellschaftlich verträglicher KI ist die Bereitstellung ausreichender, besonders aber qualitativ hochwertiger Trainingsdaten. In dem Kurs “KI und Datenqualität” berichten Expertinnen und Experten aus den Bereichen Informatik, Recht, Ethik und Normung über diese vielfältigen Aspekte der Daten für die Künstliche Intelligenz.
