Prerequisites
Skills to be acquired in this module
Probabilistic Bayesian models are generated with special tools (e.g. BUGS, JAGS, STAN) or domain specific programming languages (, WebPPL, PyMC3, …etc.). If they mimic cognitive processes of humans (e.g. pilots, drivers) or animals they could be used as cooperative assistance systems in technical or financial systems like cars,robots, or recommenders.

Professional competence
The students:
  • learn to map problem to model classes to come up with practical solutions


Methodological competence
The students:
  • acquire basic skills in the design, implementation, and identification of probabilistic models with Bayesian methods
  • acquire knowledge about alternative non-Bayesian machine learning methods


Social competence
The students:
  • learn to present and discuss probabilistic theories, methods, and models.


Self-competence
The students:
  • reflect and evaluate chances and limitations of probabilistic approaches
  • learn to deliberate on machine-learning alternatives
Module contents
Theories, methods, and examples of Bayesian models with practical applications
