**Intended learning outcomes:** The students... - have a full understanding of optimization and decision-making algorithms using evolutionary algorithms. - are able to develop EMO algorithms - can design optimization algorithms, model optimization problems and perform experiments. **Content:** In our daily life, we are inevitably involved in optimization. How to get to the university in the least time is a simple optimization problem that we encounter every morning. Just looking around ourselves, we can see many examples of optimization problems, even with conflicting objectives and higher complexities. It is natural to want everything to be as good as possible, in other words optimal. The difficulty arises when there are conflicts between different goals and objectives. Indeed, there are many real-world optimization problems with multiple conflicting objectives in science and industry, which are of great complexity. We call them Multi-objective Optimization Problems. Over the past decade, many new ideas have been investigated and studied to solve such optimization problems as any new development in optimization which can lead to a better solution of a particular problem is of considerable value to science and industry. Among these methods, evolutionary algorithms are shown to be quite successful and have been applied to many applications. This course addresses the basic and advanced topics in the area of evolutionary multi-objective optimization and contains the following content: - Introduction to single-objective optimization (SO) and multi-objective optimization (MO), classical methods for solving MO, definitions of Pareto-optimality and other theoretical foundations for MO - Basics of evolutionary algorithms (algorithms, operators, selection mechanisms, coding and representations) - Evolutionary multi-objective algorithms (NSGA-II, EMO scalarization methods such as MOEA/D) - Constraint handling in SO and MO, robust optimization in EMO, surrogate methods for expensive function evaluations - Evaluation mechanisms (Design of experiments, test problems, metrics, visualization) **Workload:** 56 h contact time + 124 h self study

Since data are more often gathered by networked sensor systems, this lecture places particular emphasis on distributed sensor data fusion methods. We will start by discussing the technical specifications of a sensor system and the basics of digital sensor data processing. Our study includes sampling theorems, compressive sensing, and signal matching. We will consider the required infrastructure to processing sensor data in networked systems, i.e., sensor networks. Based on this infrastructure, we can apply methods for multisensor data fusion to spatially distributed sensors and can monitor spatio-temporal processes. **Workload:** 56 h contact time 124 h independent study

In many cases, the lifecycle of an LLM solution does not end with the delivery an initial solution; rather, subsequent model improvement, operation, monitoring, and maintenance have become essential parts of this process. At this point, sophisticated paradigms and methods are required to facilitate the continuous development and operation of these systems while preventing errors, failures, and other disruptions. The course is designed to teach the fundamentals, as well as provide initial practical experience in the development of LLM solutions and technologies, in conjunction with dedicated cloud-native technologies and an emphasis on small LLMs (SML) that are edge-suitable, may be operated on premise, or are ressource-efficient. In addition to the theoretical basics, essential concepts and technologies are discussed and applied that enable the continuous improvement, integration, delivery, and testing of LLM solutions for business problems. **Workload:** Attendance: 21 h lecture / 63 h exercise Independent work: 207 h 1.

**Intended learning outcomes:** Die Absolvent:innen vertiefen die Inhalte der Lehrveranstaltungen Logik und Intelligente Systeme, indem sie lernen, wie diese zu Neuro-Symbolischen Methoden kombiniert werden können. Hierfür werden neuste Forschungsinhalte aus diesem Gebiet vorgestellt und hinsichtlich der Eignung bestimmter Problemstellungen untersucht. Somit lernen Absolvent:innen komplexe Aufgaben aus der Schnittstelle von Anwendung und Forschung selbstständig zu bewältigen. In den Übungen werden auch offene Aufgaben gestellt, bei denen die eigenen Ergebnisse erklärt und kritisch bewertet und ggf alternative Ansätze vorgeschlagen werden sollen. Die Teilnehmenden können so eigene Ideen einbringen und erlangen detailliertes und kritisches Verständnis der Methoden der neuro-symbolischen Integration. **Content:** - (Fuzzy) Logic - Neuro-Symbolic Integration nach von Hamelen - Propositional Program Extraction (Arthur, KBANN) - Cognitive architectures (CLARION) - Logic Tensor Networks - Logical Neural Networks - Graph Neural Networks - Ontology-based Training **Workload:** Total: 180 h - Weekly lecture (2 SWS = 28 h) - Follow-up work (20 h) - Weekly exercise session (2 SWS = 28 h) - Completing assignments (84 h) - Follow-up work (20 h)

In 2014, the expected number of industrial robots increased by 27% compared to the previous year. The main reason is their flexibility, especially their ability to perform a wide range of tasks. In the lecture “Software Development for Industrial Robotics” an overview of this domain is given as well as the mathematical background. The latter deals in particular with the idea of forward and inverse kinematics, point-to-point movements, linear movements, trajectory planning, recognition of singularities, Denavit-Hartenberg convention, rotation and translation matrices. The final project deals with control using a collision-free path planner, KUKA youBot kinematics, numerical approaches to solving inverse kinematics, etc. **Arbeitsaufwand:** 180h = 56h attendance time + 124h independent work
