Description

The topic of the lecture is the quantitative analysis of various types of data occurring in the field of transport and logistics. The focus will be on problems of maritime logistics. The students should be enabled to evaluate the learned methods with regard to their usability in concrete company contexts and to know and derive requirements and potentials of an effective application; for example related to data mining approaches for controlling or forecasting approaches for the operational planning of companies.

Within the course "Machine Learning in Logistics", students are introduced to a selection of methods of machine learning in the first half of the term. The lecture is called "Fundamentals of Machine Learning" and is organized by the Institute for Software Systems. In the second half of the term, the lecture "Digitalization in Traffic and Logistics" applies those methods to logistics-specific research questions. The course is accompanied by the exercise "Machine Learning in Logistics". Here, Jupyter notebooks are used to equip students with the optimal tools for data exploration.

Abstract: This book provides comprehensive coverage of the field of outlier analysis from a computer science point of view. It integrates methods from data mining, machine learning, and statistics within the computational framework and therefore appeals to multiple communities. The chapters of this book can be organized into three categories: - Basic algorithms: Chapters 1 through 7 discuss the fundamental algorithms for outlier analysis, including probabilistic and statistical methods, linear methods, proximity-based methods, high-dimensional (subspace) methods, ensemble methods, and supervised methods. - Domain-specific methods: Chapters 8 through 12 discuss outlier detection algorithms for various domains of data, such as text, categorical data, time-series data, discrete sequence data, spatial data, and network data. - Applications: Chapter 13 is devoted to various applications of outlier analysis. Some guidance is also provided for the practitioner. The second edition of this book is more detailed and is written to appeal to both researchers and practitioners. Significant new material has been added on topics such as kernel methods, one-class support-vector machines, matrix factorization, neural networks, outlier ensembles, time-series methods, and subspace methods. It is written as a textbook and can be used for classroom teaching.
