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

- overview and comparison of various paradigms applicable to classification / prediction of economic data by means of deep neural network architectures (multi-layered neural networks of the back-propagation type and convolutional neural networks) and their variants for temporal pattern processing (e.g., back-propagation through time, recurrent neural networks and recurrent convolutional neural networks)

- recapitulation and mutual comparison of known techniques suitable for feature detection in economic data (e.g., correlation analysis, entropy-based models, sensitivity analysis, self-organizing feature maps, etc.)

- interpretation and visualization of the detected features and extracted knowledge

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