Module Title:Experimental Techniques in Physics Supported with Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning
  Experimentelle Techniken in der Physik gestützt durch Künstliche Intelligenz / Maschinelles Lernen
Department: Faculty 1 - Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics, Electrical Engineering and Information Technology
Responsible Staff Member:
  • Prof. Dr.-Ing. Dr. rer. nat. habil. Schenk, Harald
Language of Teaching / Examination:English
Duration:1 semester
Frequency of Offer: On special announcement
Credits: 6
Learning Outcome:After completion of the module, students will have an overview on methods and tools used for experimentation with physical systems. They know the role of artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) in inference with experimental data processing. They are able to apply the acquired knowledge in computer experiments realized during laboratories.
Contents:The subject of the module is the fundamentals of experiment design, including the theoretical and practical aspects of experiment planning and execution. This includes, for example, the role of observation and measurement in cognition process, data collection and processing with the use of statistical and AI/ML methods, data and system modeling, computer simulation, and planning of experiment.
The laboratory will use computer simulation to solve selected problems of experimentation, e.g. forward and inverse modeling, signal reconstruction, model identification, experiment planning. Statistical and AI/ML techniques will be used in exemplary tasks. The form of the class includes the realization of tasks under supervision and solving self-defined problems.
