| details of the certificate | Das Modul Computational Analysis of Sound and Music (CASM) mit der Prüfungsnummer 210550 schließt mit folgenden Leistungen ab:
Details zum Abschluss Teilleistung 1: Research Project During the practical phases in the last 4 weeks of the lectures, small teams of students will work on a selected audio analysis task, conduct a literature and dataset research, and implement in Python all required steps ranging from the importing and processing of audio data to the implementation, training, and evaluation of suitable deep neural network architectures. This group work will be performed during practical phases in the lectures in the last 4 semester weeks. Student groups will document their project results in a short scientific paper and give a final project presentation in the final lecture. Details zum Abschluss Teilleistung 2: Written exam consisting of multiple-choice and free-form questions to evaluate the professional competences in the course topics |
