Explainable Machine Learning

Dear students,

 

We hope you enjoyed the seminar and thank you for making it a success! We are highly impressed with the level of effort that you put in your projects, presentations, and your active participation over the three days.

 

Before we can provide the grades, as announced today, please upload your presentation slides, project slides, and project code into CMS, by March 17 2026. Submission links can be found in your student page.

 

Best regards,

ExML Team

Dear students,

 

The link to the seminar schedule for March 10–12 is now available on the student page. The venue is E1.5 029 (MPI-SWS Building).

 

On March 10–11, we will have your presentations. Each presentation will involve a 30 min talk and 15 min for Q/A. Attendance is mandatory. Please review the Introductory Slides in the Materials section for more details. If you have not already, we encourage you to get feedback from your mentor for your slides. 

 

On March 12, we will have project demos. Each student is assigned 20 min for the demo and 10 min for Q/A. You may present your project in whatever way you best see fit, this could e.g. be via a talk, but it could also be via another medium, such as a Jupyter Notebook.

 

We look forward to seeing you next week!

 

Best regards,

ExML Team

 

Dear students,

 

We hope your exams went well! This is a friendly reminder that the deadline for submitting your project report and essay is March 1, 2026. Please keep your mentor updated about your progress and let them know as early as possible in case of any issues.

 

Presentations will take place on March 10--March 11, and the project discussion will take place on March 12 (as previously announced). Submission of slides beforehand is not necessary, but we strongly encourage you to prepare early and coordinate with your mentor to get feedback.

 

Best wishes,

ExML Team

Dear students of ExML,

 

We hope you have an enjoyable time with holidays coming up! Over the last weeks, we have been in touch with all of you to finalize the practical projects for the seminar, so you now have a clear project plan for the rest of the semester. Make sure to check with your mentor about your progress and discuss any issues that come up, so you can smoothly work on the project.

 

For GPU access, please carefully read the documentation provided in the course material section in CMS. Your GPU credentials can be found in your student page in the CMS.

 

Both the essays as well as projects will be due first of March 2026.

 

We currently plan the block course date to be on 10th and 11th of March 2026, please inform us about any potential exam clashes asap. Participation is mandatory.

On 12th of March 2026 we plan the project discussion as a showcase event (participation is mandatory), where each of you presents your respective project to your peers – this is supposed to be a fun event and less of an exam situation, you all work on exciting topics that are at the forefront of the field, and are interesting to us.

 

If you have specific questions about anything related to projects, or about your assigned topic, do not hesitate to reach out to us.

 

Enjoy the holiday season 🙂

 

Best,

the ExML team

Dear students of ExML,

 

We hope you had a great start into your semester! The first deadline for our seminar is approaching slowly, the projects will be fixed on 5th of December. In that light, please make sure to reach out to your supervisor to schedule a meeting within the next two weeks for the project proposal. We highly encourage you to come up with your own project which we can discuss and steer in a meaningful direction.

 

All the best for any upcoming midterms!

 

The ExML team
