Dear students,

I hope your projects are all on track! As the deadline for the poster submissions is approaching (17.06. end of day), here some details:

1) Please submit your poster in DIN A0 format as a .pdf-file via CMS.
2) Please ensure that all elements (especially the figures) are in high-enough quality so they are legible and look good when printed.
3) You do not need to print the posters yourself, we will do that for you.
4) There is no pre-defined poster template you have to adhere to. It should give the reader a good idea about what you are doing and why you are doing it (that means, summary, motivation, details on data and methods, results, shortcomings). You can find a previous years' poster winner as an example here for some initial orientation, if needed. Also, a good practice example is this poster here that recently won a 'Best Poster' award at the renowned ICWSM'26 Conference.
5) Since final code and report submission deadline is not before July 31st, we do not expect you that you already present your final results on the poster. However, it should be clearly visible that you worked on this project substantially and that you are able to show some initial findings.

The Poster Session itself will consist of two parts: First part, your team briefly pitches the poster to the others (1-2 minutes, no slides) to spark interest. Second part, we have a poster exhibition in front of the hall where you can have a look at the other posters and explain your poster to them. At the end, you will be able to vote for the best poster and the winners get a small prize.

Hope this helps to prepare, let me know, in case you have questions.

Looking forward to all your contributions,
Till

Projektseminar Data Science and Artificial Intelligence

The aim of this practical seminar is the realization of a complete pipeline of a project from the problem statement to finding solutions using methods of machine learning. The topics are proposed by groups from various fields of research, e.g. materials science, computer linguistics, bioinformatics, computer vision, but also (computational) social sciences. Each topic will be supervised by the group that proposed the topic. Up to three students will be working on one topic.

The project seminar consists of three parts. In the first part, the student group working on a topic will get acquainted with the topic, the input data, and research about potential solutions for the given problem. The second part is the implementation and testing of solutions for the problem. At the end of the course, the groups will present their topics and the solutions in a seminar. Successful completion of the seminar is rewarded with 9 CP for Data Science & Artificial Intelligence bachelor students.
