The Research Forum supports students in developing a master's thesis project at the intersection of psychology and sustainability. Students will learn about possible thesis topics in psychology and sustainability at Leuphana, connect with potential supervisors, develop their research ideas, gain input on psychological research methods and project management, and receive feedback from researchers and peers throughout the thesis development process.

Diese Übung findet begleitend zur Vorlesung AI-Literacy statt und dient der Vertiefung und Anwendung ausgewählter Vorlesungsinhalte.

In der Übung entwickeln Sie anhand praktischer Aufgaben ein grundlegendes Verständnis von KI-Modellen (bspw. Klassifikation, Empfehlungssysteme oder Textgenerierung), wenden die verschiedenen Modelle an und evaluieren sie. Zusätzlich bekommen Sie eine Einführung in die Programmierung mit Python und Prompting-Strategien. Im Verlauf des Semesters entwerfen Sie in Kleingruppen ein eigenes kleines KI-gestütztes Programm. Dabei vertiefen Sie Ihr Wissen im Entwurf und in der Evaluation von KI-Systemen weiter – sowohl mit Blick auf technische als auch gesellschaftliche Implikationen. Parallel zu den Übungen stehen von Oktober bis Januar erfahrene und engagierte Tutor:innen (Teaching Assistants) zur Verfügung, um die Studierenden auf dem Campus im gesamten Lernprozess zu unterstützen.

Quantitative methods covered in the lecture will be repeated in the seminar and practically applied by means of exercises. For independent consolidation of the methods, the students work on a weekly assignment sheet, which is handed in to the tutor.

The practical exercises are done with the free open source software R (http://www.r-project.org/).
