===Initial Post===
Machine Learning is ubiquitous. Machines and gadgets all around us are continuously learning from the behaviour of their users and the surrounding world. I am interested in this learning process, its algorithmic mechanics and its motivation. I plan to concentrate my work on machine learning
*as an interactive tool,
*in terms of borders of possible applications (empathy, self-awareness),
*in the fact that it can detect patterns, where we do not see any
*and its use of "statistical stereotypes" for decision-making.

===Progress===
I am currently in a research phase, this includes
*theory: working on [https://www.uni-weimar.de/en/media/chairs/computer-science-and-media/webis/teaching/lecturenotes/#machine-learning lecture] and [https://www.uni-weimar.de/en/media/chairs/computer-science-and-media/webis/teaching/ws-201718/machine-learning/ exercises] by Benno Stein on Machine Learning
*application: playing around with [http://www.wekinator.orgwekinator wekinator] and this [https://github.com/hughrawlinson/wekinator-node helpful framework] for interfacing it with osc-protocol

The following picture shows the setup on my computer, while playing around with wekinator: It shows the Wekinator-UI on the upper right corner, some code to interface it with osc-protocol on the lower right corner, the voice-input-interface from the [http://www.wekinator.org/examples/ wekinator example set] on the lower left corner and finally the command-line-output of the classified voice on the upper left corner. The command-line-interface shows the output of a model, that is trained to classify 2 different voices. It outputs '1' for one voice, and '2' for the other voice.

In this project I want to take a closer look at machine learning. I am interested in this method
*as an interactive tool,
*in terms of borders of possible applications (empathy, self-awareness)
*and in the fact that it can detect patterns, where we do not see any.

The wish for an intelligent system is very intriguing to me, because it raises the question, if behind this wish stands a socially disappointed human who wants to improve human interaction by replacing it on one side with a machine, ''who'' could maybe someday be a better companion than another human.

= Artists Lab WS 17/18 =
== Application ==
If you want to take part please apply with the normal application procedure of our faculty and let me know that you want to join our class: ursula.damm [at] uni-weimar.de 
For prospective students we are avaliable for consultations on '''Tuesday 10.10. from 13.30 to 15.30 at the Marienstrasse 5, room 304 (3rd floor)''' 
Location: '''Room 204, Marienstrasse 7b'''
 First Meeting: '''Tuesday 17.10.2017, 13:30'''
 Regular meetings: Tuesday 13:15 to 16:30
 Participation at the Presentation on Media Art '''Tuesday, 05.30 pm Uhr at room 204, Marienstrasse 7b''' is mandatory

== Description ==

The artist's lab is a project module for students who wish to work on their own topics accompanied by intensive discussion on contemporary artistic approaches in art, media, posthumanism, interactivity, technology and matter. We expect you to have your own artistic agenda and want to support with knowledge, technology and discourse. GMU offers access to our labs (Performance Platform and DIY Biolab) to develop ideas in suitable environments. If you are interest to work with interactivity or in working with the Performance Platform you should already have taken part at werkmodules or fachmodules in programming and/or electronics. Furthermore you should take our werk- and fachmodules during the semester accompanying the project (->). You might find out that a project with people tracking can take two semesters.
If you are interested in working with our DIY Biolab, please choose the relevant fachmodules from my co-workers.
The module expects you to be self-motivated and self-organized. It offers a culture of discussion.
Part of the module is a lecture on media art which will be announced separately. People from other study programs are also very welcome, just be aware that we do not offer strong guidance.

Das Projekt bietet eine Zusammenkunft für künstlerische, studentische Vorhaben, die selbstorganisiert und engagiert sind. Die individuelle Betreuung steht im Vordergrund. Deshalb ist die aktive Beteiligung und Darstellung der Interessen und Werke unabdingbar. Für den Erwerb der technischen Voraussetzungen ist der Besuch der Fachmodule der Professur dringend empfohlen.
