Currently, this lecture is on hold due to a high teaching load. Expect this lecture to be offered again starting in the Winter Term 2024–25.

Learning target: The lecture focuses on the fundamental concepts of machine learning with a special focus on dynamical systems and control. The listener will be enabled to understand the use and application of tools and methods from machine learning in the fields of dynamical systems and control. Special focus is put on a tailored set of methods from machine learning for the influence, understanding, analysis and control of dynamical systems. The methods and approaches are underlined by dynamical systems examples and computer exercises.

Content:
• Introduction to machine learning and artificial intelligence methods with a focus on dynamical systems and control
• Regression approaches, such as Gaussian processes for the modeling and control of dynamical systems
• Feedforward neural networks and recurrent neural networks for control and modeling of dynamical systems
• Deep learning for modeling and control
• Reinforcement learning and the relation to dynamic programming and optimal control
