In this document, all lectures are summarized. I used this to study for the exam and make my cheatsheet and I passed the exam with a 9, I hope you will do the same :) Note: using this document, you can easily make your cheatsheet. Make your cheatsheet and use this document to study. Good luck!

Summary based on lectures. I got an 8.5 for the exam. This course covers the general principles and methods that form the foundation of information organization and knowledge-intensive processes, as well as the contexts in which they can be applied and the interaction with users. The lecture topics include knowledge modeling, ontologies, logic, controlled natural language, Semantic Web and Linked Data, as well as knowledge maintenance and evaluation, in addition to guest lectures on speci...

Based on lectures. I got a 9 for the exam! Deep learning becomes the leading learning and modeling paradigm in machine learning. During this course, we will present basic components of deep learning, such as: - different layers (e.g., linear layers, convolutional layers, pooling layers, recurrent layers); - non-linear activation functions (e.g., sigmoid, ReLU); - backpropagation; - learning algorithms (e.g., ADAM); - other (e.g., dropout). Further, we will show how to build deep ar...

Based on lecture content. In Multi-agent systems (MAS) one studies collections of interacting, strategic and intelligent agents. These agents typically can sense both other agents and their environment, reason about what they perceive, and plan and carry out actions to achieve specific goals. In this course we introduce a number of fundamental scientific and engineering concepts that underpin the theoretical study of such multi-agent systems. In particular, we will cover the following top...

Summary based on both lectures and book. Including some exam questions. I got an 8.5 for the exam. This course is about constructing, applying and studying algorithms based on the Darwinian evolution theory. Driven by selection (survival of the fittest, mating of the fittest) and randomised reproduction (mutation, recombination), an evolutionary process is being emulated and solutions for a given problem are being "bred". During this course, various flavours within evolutionary computing are ...
