Abstract | This laboratory course teaches fundamental concepts in computational science and machine learning based on matrix factorization. This method provides a powerful framework of numerical linear algebra that encompasses many important techniques, such as dimension reduction, clustering, combinatorial optimization and sparse coding. | |||||
Objective | Students acquire the fundamental theoretical concepts related to a class of problems that can be solved by matrix factorization. Furthermore, they successfully develop solutions to application problems by following the paradigm of modeling - algorithm development - implementation - experimental validation. This lab course has a strong focus on practical assignments. Students work in groups of two to three people, to develop solutions to three application problems: 1. Compression: Exploiting image statistics to compress an image with minimal perceptual loss. 2. Collaborative filtering: predicting a user interest, based on his own and other peoples ratings. The "Netflix prize" is one such example. 3. Inpainting: Filling in lost parts of an image based on its surroundings. For each of these problems, students submit their solutions to an online evaluation and ranking system, and get feedback in terms of numerical accuracy and computational speed. In the final part of the course, students combine and extend one of their previous promising solutions, and write up their findings in an extended abstract in the style of a conference paper. | |||||

263-2300-00L | How To Write Fast Numerical Code Prerequisite: Master student, solid C programming skills. | W | 6 credits | 3V + 2U | M. Püschel | |
Abstract | This course introduces the student to the foundations and state-of-the-art techniques in developing high performance software for numerical functionality such as linear algebra and others. The focus is on optimizing for the memory hierarchy and for special instruction sets. Finally, the course will introduce the recent field of automatic performance tuning. | |||||
Objective | Software performance (i.e., runtime) arises through the interaction of algorithm, its implementation, and the microarchitecture the program is run on. The first goal of the course is to provide the student with an understanding of this interaction, and hence software performance, focusing on numerical or mathematical functionality. The second goal is to teach a general systematic strategy how to use this knowledge to write fast software for numerical problems. This strategy will be trained in a few homeworks and semester-long group projects. | |||||
Content | The fast evolution and increasing complexity of computing platforms pose a major challenge for developers of high performance software for engineering, science, and consumer applications: it becomes increasingly harder to harness the available computing power. Straightforward implementations may lose as much as one or two orders of magnitude in performance. On the other hand, creating optimal implementations requires the developer to have an understanding of algorithms, capabilities and limitations of compilers, and the target platform's architecture and microarchitecture. This interdisciplinary course introduces the student to the foundations and state-of-the-art techniques in high performance software development using important functionality such as linear algebra functionality, transforms, filters, and others as examples. The course will explain how to optimize for the memory hierarchy, take advantage of special instruction sets, and, if time permits, how to write multithreaded code for multicore platforms. Much of the material is based on state-of-the-art research. Further, a general strategy for performance analysis and optimization is introduced that the students will apply in group projects that accompany the course. Finally, the course will introduce the students to the recent field of automatic performance tuning. | |||||

Abstract | The course covers advanced methods of statistical learning : PAC learning and statistical learning theory;variational methods and optimization, e.g., maximum entropy techniques, information bottleneck, deterministic and simulated annealing; clustering for vectorial, histogram and relational data; model selection; graphical models. | |||||
Objective | The course surveys recent methods of statistical learning. The fundamentals of machine learning as presented in the course "Introduction to Machine Learning" are expanded and in particular, the theory of statistical learning is discussed. | |||||
Content | # Boosting: A state-of-the-art classification approach that is sometimes used as an alternative to SVMs in non-linear classification. # Theory of estimators: How can we measure the quality of a statistical estimator? We already discussed bias and variance of estimators very briefly, but the interesting part is yet to come. # Statistical learning theory: How can we measure the quality of a classifier? Can we give any guarantees for the prediction error? # Variational methods and optimization: We consider optimization approaches for problems where the optimizer is a probability distribution. Concepts we will discuss in this context include: * Maximum Entropy * Information Bottleneck * Deterministic Annealing # Clustering: The problem of sorting data into groups without using training samples. This requires a definition of ``similarity'' between data points and adequate optimization procedures. # Model selection: We have already discussed how to fit a model to a data set in ML I, which usually involved adjusting model parameters for a given type of model. Model selection refers to the question of how complex the chosen model should be. As we already know, simple and complex models both have advantages and drawbacks alike. # Reinforcement learning: The problem of learning through interaction with an environment which changes. To achieve optimal behavior, we have to base decisions not only on the current state of the environment, but also on how we expect it to develop in the future. | |||||

263-4600-00L | Formal Methods for Information Security | W | 4 credits | 2V + 1U | S. Radomirovic, M. Torabi Dashti | |
Abstract | The course focuses on formal methods for the modelling and analysis of security and privacy concerns in critical systems, ranging from access control policies to cryptographic protocols. | |||||
Objective | The students will learn the key ideas and theoretical foundations of formal modelling and analysis of security protocols and policies. The students will complement their theoretical knowledge by solving practical exercises and using various related tools. | |||||
Content | The lecture treats formal methods for the modelling and analysis of security-critical systems. The first part of the lecture focuses on access control policies in centralized and distributed settings. Access control policies are an integral part of modern Internet services; examples include single sign-on endpoints, distributed trust management in social Websites, and peer-to-peer networks. The lectures cover the formal foundations of authorization systems, and their applications to the synthesis and analysis of access control policies. We will also study a few notable existing models, such as XACML, DKAL and PBel. The second part of the lecture concentrates on cryptographic protocols. Cryptographic protocols (such as SSL/TLS, SSH, Kerberos, SAML single-sign on, and IPSec) form the basis for secure communication and business processes. Numerous attacks on published protocols show that the design of cryptographic protocols is extremely error-prone. A rigorous analysis of these protocols is therefore indispensable. The lecture covers the theoretical basis for the formal modeling and analysis of such protocols. Specifically, we discuss their operational semantics, the formalization of security properties, and techniques and algorithms for their verification. In addition to the classical security properties for confidentiality and authentication, we will study privacy properties and the fairness property in contract signing. The accompanying tutorials provide an opportunity to apply the theory and tools to concrete protocols. | |||||
