Guidelines
The student shall review the following topics in the diploma thesis:

- overview and comparison of various paradigms applicable to learning of multi-layered neural networks (the backpropagation algorithm, conjugate gradients, learning with hints etc.)

- recapitulation and mutual comparison of known techniques suitable for the estimation of the significance of presented patterns and their features for training and recall of a given network (e.g. enforced internal representation, sensitivity analysis, models based on the principles of self-organization, etc.)

- interpretation and visualization of the detected dependencies - e.g. of outliers and the assigned semantics

The student will focus on some of these topics in more detail. Further, he will propose a suitable strategy for data pre-processing based on real-world data and he shall implement the models. The evaluation of the obtained results and gained experience shall form an important part of the thesis.
