I teach tutorials in pattern recognition and computer vision at TU Dortmund University and co-supervise Bachelor's and Master's theses in document analysis and representation learning.
Looking for a thesis topic? If you are a Bachelor's or Master's student at TU Dortmund and something on my research page interests you, send me an email. Outline your (rough) project idea along with a short CV and transcript.
If you are already a student of mine: I have lunch at the Mensa every Friday at 11:30 with whoever wants to join, no agenda. Starting from my office at 11:15. Ideally send me a quick email in advance if you plan to join.
Tutorials accompanying the Pattern Recognition lecture: classification and decision theory, density estimation, sequence models and neural approaches, with exercises that connect the statistical foundations to the models students actually use.
Tutorials accompanying the Computer Vision lecture: image formation and features, segmentation, recognition and deep architectures for visual tasks.
Co-supervision of Bachelor’s and Master’s theses in document analysis and representation learning — handwriting and character recognition, self-supervised representations, graph-based models and vision-language models for document understanding.
