Sie erweitern ihre Kompetenzen im Bereich der Präsentationstechnik durch die Betreuung von kleinen Praktikumsversuchen zum Strahlenschutz. Inhalt: Strahlenphysik, Grundlagen der Dosimetrie, Strahlenschutzgrundsätze, Strahlenschutzverordnung, Natürliche und zivilisatorische Strahlenbelastung, Praktikum im Bereich der Strahlenschutzmesstechnik

Seminar
  • Unlimited access 5.04.4214 - Advanced Models and Algorithms in Machine Learning Show lecturers
    • Prof. Dr. Jörg Lücke

    Monday: 08:00 - 10:00, weekly (from 14/10/24)

    The students will learn about recent developments and state-of-the-art approaches in Machine Learning, and their applications to different data domains. By presenting scientific studies in the context of currently used models and their applications, they will learn to understand and communicate recent scientific results. The presentations will use computers and projectors. Programming examples and animations will be used to support the interactive component of the presentations. In scientific discussions of the presented and related work, the students will obtain knowledge about current limitations of Machine Learning approaches both on the theoretical side and on the side of their technical and practical realizations. Presentations of interdisciplinary research will enable the students to carry over their Machine Learning knowledge to address questions in other scientific domains. Contents: In this seminar recent developments of models and algorithms in Machine Learning will be studied. Advances of established modelling approaches and new approaches will be presented and discussed along with the applications of different current algorithms to application domains including: auditory and visual signal enhancements, source separation, auditory and visual object learning and recognition, auditory scene analysis and inpainting. Furthermore, Machine Learning approaches as models for neural data processing will be discussed and related to current questions in Computational Neuroscience.

  • Unlimited access 5.04.4229 - Oberseminar Physiologie und Modellierung auditorischer Wahrnehmung Show lecturers
    • Prof. Dr. Mathias Dietz

    Tuesday: 08:00 - 10:00, weekly (from 15/10/24)

    Vorstellung und Diskussion eigener Forschungspläne, sowie eigener Forschungsergebnisse. Vorstellung und Diskussion fremder publizierter Forschungsarbeiten. Schwerpunktthemen sind binaurales Hören, Cochlea Implantate, subkortikale neuronale Verarbeitung, modellbasierte Diagnostik von Hörstörungen, Signalentdeckungstheorie, Psychophysik

  • Unlimited access 5.04.4230 - Oberseminar „Journal Club“ Speech Technology and Hearing Aids Show lecturers
    • Prof. Dr. Gerald Enzner

    Thursday: 12:00 - 14:00, weekly (from 17/10/24)

    The participants are actually making a distance from their daily own research thread and implementation towards a wider perspective. They pursue other topics of colleagues and related scientists, which seem to be outside the personal scope or interest, and will yet contribute useful commentary and suggestions. To this, we shall seek literature and pursue intrinsically-motivated study in neighboring and overarching fields of research and education. The results of the study will be grouped systematically and presented in the seminar accordingly. The participants cooperatively work on consensus regarding the scientific merit of publications in terms fundamental relevance or potential utility for own scientific generalization. The themes of the seminar comprise the whole bandwidth of scientific literature on signal processing, machine learning and acoustics with applications in speech technology and hearing aids, for instance, single- and multichannel noise reduction, acoustic sensor networks, digital speech communication, binaural transmission and perception. The graduate participants prove the enhanced perspective obtained by the seminar by enhanced motivation and practice for proposal writing. The undergraduate participants can deliver an oral examination or contribute a formal presentation on a given topic.

  • Unlimited access 5.04.813 - Cochlear Implants Show lecturers
    • Prof. Dr. Mathias Dietz
    • Prof. Dr. Pascale Sandmann
    • Rebecca Felsheim

    Tuesday: 12:00 - 14:00, weekly (from 15/10/24)

    Die Veranstaltung soll ein breites und hinreichendes tiefes theoretisches Fundament legen, um in Wissenschaft und Praxis mit Cochlea Implantaten (CIs) und CI Trägern arbeiten zu können.
