- Sheet 2: Learning and Neural Networks
- Sheet 3: CSP, Planning, and Making Simple Decisions

Hinweis:
Es gibt in dieser Lehrveranstaltung (da es sich als VU um eine mit prüfungsimmanentem Charakter handelt) keine verpflichtenden kommissionellen Prüfungen. Stattdessen stehen fünf reguläre Antritte zur Verfügung. TISS wertet den vierten und fünften Antritt systembedingt (und als Warnung) dennoch als kommissionell und lässt eine Anmeldung durch Studierende nicht mehr zu. Bitte senden Sie zur Anmeldung in diesem Fall eine Nachricht an die LVA-Leitung.
