Lecture type(s) Lecture, Tutorial
Content

The advances in modern high-performance computing and sensor technologies lead to increasingly large and complex data in many domains like the (life) sciences, medicine, physics, or engineering. Interactive visualization is often a crucial step to analyze these data. Scientific visualization is concerned with the depiction of data that has a spatial structure (mostly three-dimensional), for example medical volumes from CT or MRI scanners, or molecular structures. In this lecture, the steps of the visualization pipeline will be discussed, leading from the input data to the final image or the interactive rendering of the data set. This includes interpolation and filtering, mapping techniques, as well as the basics of (color) perception, computer graphics/rendering, and interaction. Visualization methods for different types of scientific data will be introduced, including particles, 3D scalar fields (volumes), vector fields, and tensor fields. In particular, the application of these methods for the visualization of biological as well as medical data will be discussed. This is, methods from Information Visualization (i.e., the visualization of abstract, non-spatial data) are not part of this lecture, as these are covered in BIO4364 - Visualization of Biological Data.

Objectives

Students will

Content

How does the translation of a high-level programming language into machine instructions work? An understanding of this is not only of interest to compiler developers, but any good programmer should know how modern compilers and virtual machines work: On the one hand, it allows a deeper understanding of what happens when a program is executed; on the other hand, many of the technologies from compiler construction can be usefully applied in many other programs. Some keywords about the content: parsing, abstract syntax trees, intermediate representations, data flow analysis, register allocation, optimizations, runtime systems and virtual machines, compilers for object-oriented and functional languages.

Objectives

Students will be able to understand the different phases of a compiler. They can independently implement compilers for simple programming languages and understand the trade-offs and alternatives that exist when designing and selecting compiler technologies.

Content

The goal of this practical course is the implementation of a part of a programming language. For this purpose, in the first half of the semester we work out various aspects of the implementation of a programming language (e.g. syntactic checking, type checking, intermediate stages (ANF, SSA, CPS), control flow) with the help of programming tasks. Afterwards, students choose a part of an existing or self-designed programming language in consultation with the organizer and implement this part in the second half of the semester.

Objectives

Students will understand the structure and operation of compilers and related programs for implementing programming languages and be able to describe them using specialized terminology. They are able to implement a simple programming language correctly and professionally on their own, and to present and justify the chosen solution.

This course uses the Haskell programming language to explore fundamental and practical functional programming concepts. The first three weeks of the course introduce students to Haskell, after which more advanced ideas of the functional paradigm are addressed: algebraic data types; parametric polymorphism; type classes; domain-specific languages and their embeddings; monads; parallelism. The material will be taught by of slide sets, blackboard notes and live coding.

Objectives

Students will be able to understand basic and advanced concepts of functional programming in Haskell. Students describe complex data structures using the Haskell type system and independently develop programs to solve challenging algorithmic problems. Advanced methods for the abstraction of both data (e.g. generalized algebraic data types) and behavior (e.g. Monad Transformer) can be analyzed and created. Students develop access to advanced literature and research topics in functional programming.

Lecture type(s) Lecture, Tutorial
Content

This module is about providing the basics for the field of algorithms. This module is thematically and methodologically connected to the compulsory module Algorithms. It covers a wide range, from the theoretical conception of problem solving methods, different complexity classes and application areas to practical aspects such as algorithm engineering. Topics include graphs and networks, randomized algorithms, linear programming, approximations, parametrization and Parallelism

Objectives

Students demonstrate advanced knowledge of methods for data structures and algorithms, particularly for various classes of algorithms such as graph algorithms, randomized algorithms, parameterized algorithms, geometric algorithms, and parallel algorithms. For the individual topics, students can independently apply the methods to case studies and solve them, including in particular the application of proofs of correctness and efficiency analyses. The students can develop simple algorithm ideas themselves and design the corresponding analyses and practical implementations.

Presentation

Lecture type(s) Proseminar
Content

The participants of this seminar each work on a selected topic of the annual ACM International Collegiate Programming Challenge (ICPC). This includes the conception of proposed solutions and their implementation. Participants communicate these solutions in the form of an approximately 30-minute presentation and demonstrate the resulting software. Equal emphasis is placed on (a) content-related aspects and (b) questions regarding presentation technique. In addition, a compact written elaboration summarizes the solution to the problem.

Objectives

Students will be able to adequately select appropriate programming paradigms and languages for problem solving. Reading and learning skills are acquired. The compact and effective presentation of the acquired knowledge in the form of presentation and text is learned. The student acts confidently in front of the plenum. Self-discipline, critical faculties, language skills and empathy are promoted and challenged. As listeners, the participants are able to give their fellow students critical but fair feedback on the content and formal aspects of the presentation.

Content

This module teaches the technical fundamentals of technologies for the analysis of expression data, both at the RNA and protein levels. The focus will be on the RNA level, but a substantive goal will be to identify which common analysis techniques are applicable to so-called abundance data, such as those generated by typical transcriptomics and proteomics experiments. Topics include algorithms for designing experiments, normalization procedures (from raw to primary to normalized data, dimensionality reduction using principal component analysis as well as multidimensional scaling (MDS), clustering procedures, visualization of abundance data, simple statistical procedures of hypothesis testing (parametric and nonparametric tests, multiple testing, ANOVA) for differential gene expression, and classification methods (LDA).

Objectives

Methods and acquired skills of the various modules of the first two years of study (e.g. algorithms, statistical methods, programming skills) are applied to concrete questions of an important topic area of bioinformatics. The students analyse expression experiments and learn how to program the scripting language R. They understand the connections between the different aspects of what they have learned so far and can apply it to practical problems. They are able to actively grasp problems, critically discuss them and create solutions. This increases the student's methodological competence.

Content

Nowadays, genome sequences are available for numerous organisms. Based on these blueprints of life, we can now capture all components of biological systems, describe their interactions, and map them into networks to describe the interactions of all cellular processes. These networks form the basis for computer models whose simulation enables predictions of observable phenomena. This lecture introduces the fundamental concepts of systems biology. It is aimed equally at bachelor students of mathematics, computer science, bioinformatics, and biology since systems biology connects all of these disciplines and brings them together in their larger context. We learn how biological networks can be constructed and modeled. We will cover how the characteristic properties of these models can be determined and used to derive essential statements about system behavior up to the phenotype. Basic knowledge of linear algebra and biochemistry is a prerequisite for participation. By applying mathematical concepts to biological problems, this course prepares students for the irreversible trend of an ever-increasing proportion of mathematical and computational content in biology education.

Objectives

Students acquire basic knowledge in the theory and application of systems biology:
- Introduction to the basic concepts of biological networks, emphasizing metabolic networks.
- Knowledge of the basic structure of systems biology models, biophysical and biochemical constraints, and implicit assumptions.
- Practical experience in building and analyzing systems biology models.

Lecture type(s) Lecture, Tutorial
Content

As the name indicates, this is a theory course, and is essentially mathematical, albeit heavily motivated by practical information processing problems. There will be no programming assignments. We will do some proofs (in lectures), in particular proving the source and channel coding theorems. Some exercises and exam questions will require you to make (simple) proofs. You will need to be able to do a range of mathematical calculations by hand.

Objectives

The overall goal of the course is to present the basics of the theory of information. Concretely, this means the source and channel coding theorems which characterize how one can compress and transmit information. We will also meet some of the connections between information theory and machine learning. Depending on the pace I can run at, we might do some stuff on Kolmogorov complexity (information theory for finite sequences). You will learn about some practical compression schemes (Huffman and Arithmetic coding) and simple block codes for channel coding. You will meet some of the ideas of Bayesian inference. In doing all this you will learn some of the core notions of information theory including how to mathematically define information in the first place, entropy, relative entropy and the asymptotic equipartition property which is related to the law of large numbers, and which we will use to prove the key theorems of the course.

Pre-requisite : Probability theory – you need to know (elementary) probability theory. By “elementary” I do not mean having only an elementary understanding, but rather the style of probability theory usually learned by engineers – i.e. without the measure-theoretic machinery. If you have passed the course 'INF2021 Stochastik' you should be fine. If you have not done it, but reckon you know the material anyway, I provide a self-administered test to help you judge your degree of preparedness.

Grading of the course results

Lecture type(s) Practical Course
Content

Type systems help programmers to ensure properties of programs across all executions of the program. The more expressive the type system, the more properties can be covered in this way. A particularly expressive class of type systems are those with dependent types. With these, the type of programs can depend on concrete runtime values. Programming in such programming languages requires theoretical knowledge and above all practical experience. Both are taught in this practical course.

Objectives

Students know what constitutes a programming language with dependent types, what additional expressive power is available at the type level and can use it practically in concrete programs. They recognize which properties of the program can be ensured by dependent types and which sources of errors can be avoided. They also understand what additional effort is required to do this and can thus make an informed decision about using a programming language with dependent types.
