151-0638-00LMaP Distinguished Lecture Series on Engineering with Living Materials
This course is primarily designed for MSc and doctoral students. Guests are welcome.

Former title: MaP Distinguished Lecture Series on Soft Robotics
W1 KP2SR. Katzschmann, M. Filippi, X.‑H. Qin, Z. Zhang
KurzbeschreibungThis course is an interdisciplinary colloquium on the engineering of biohybrid systems and robotics. Internationally renowned speakers from academia and industry give lectures about their cutting-edge research, which highlights the state-of-the-art and frontiers in the field of engineering with living materials and biohybrids.
LernzielParticipants become acquainted with the state-of-the-art and frontiers in biohybrid systems and robotics, which is a topic of global and future relevance from the field of materials and process engineering. The self-study of relevant literature and active participation in discussions following presentations by internationally renowned speakers stimulate critical thinking and allow participants to deliberately discuss challenges and opportunities with leading academics and industrial experts and to exchange ideas within an interdisciplinary community.
InhaltThis course is a colloquium involving a selected mix of internationally renowned speakers from academia and industry who present their cutting-edge research in the field of engineered systems using living materials. In particular, the course will cover fundamentals of bioengineering at a multicellular level (biofabrication), as well as examples of manufacturing and application of living cells to engineered systems for medical applications and beyond. Speakers will show how to combine living cells with non-living, synthetic materials to realize bio-hybrid systems to be applied to many fields of human life, ranging from biomedicine to robotics, biosensing, ecology, and architecture. It will be shown how bio-hybrid technologies and cutting-edge engineering techniques can support cell proliferation and even enhance their cell functions. The course will cover materials and approaches for the biofabrication of living tissue, seen as a biomedical model for pathophysiological discovery research, or as transplantable grafts for tissue regeneration. Speakers will illustrate how living species can contribute to ecological approaches in town planning (such as CO2 sequestration), sensing and processor technologies enabled by connective and signaling abilities of cells, and motile systems actuated by contractile cells (bio-hybrid robots).  The main learning objective is to learn about: materials and techniques to build intelligent biological systems for future, sustainable societies; mechanisms of cell and tissue programmability; and applications in bio-robotics, communication, sensing technologies, and medical engineering.
The self-study of relevant pre-read literature provided in advance of each lecture serves as a basis for active participation in the critical discussions following each presentation.
SkriptSelected scientific pre-read literature (around two articles per lecture) relevant for and discussed during the lectures is posted in advance on the course web page.
Voraussetzungen / BesonderesThis course is taught by a selection of internationally renowned speakers from academia and industry working in the field of bio-hybrid systems and robotics. This lecture series is focusing on the recent trends in engineering with living materials.

Participants should have a background in tissue engineering, material science, and/or robotics.

To obtain credits, students need to: (i) attend 80% of all lectures; (ii) submit a one-page abstract of 3 different lectures. The performance will be assessed with a "Pass/Fail" format.

On-site attendance to the lectures is preferred to foster in-person contacts. However, for lectures given by online speakers, a Zoom link to attend remotely will be provided on Moodle.

KurzbeschreibungThe course will give students an overview of selected topics in advanced machine learning that are currently subjects of active research. The course concludes with a final project.
LernzielThe overall objective is to give students a concrete idea of what working in contemporary machine learning research is like and inform them about current research performed at ETH.

In this course, students will be able to get an overview of current research topics in different specialized areas. In the final project, students will be able to build experience in practical aspects of machine learning research, including research literature, aspects of implementation, and reproducibility challenges.
InhaltThe course will be structured as sections taught by different postdocs specialized in the relevant fields. Each section will showcase an advanced research topic in machine learning, first introducing it and motivating it in the context of current technological or scientific advancement, then providing practical applications that students can experiment with, ideally with the aim of reproducing a known result in the specific field.

A tentative list of topics for this year:
- fully supervised 3D scene understanding
- weakly supervised 3D scene understanding
- causal discovery
- biological and artificial neural networks
- reinforcement learning
- visual text analytics
- human-centered AI
- representation learning.

The last weeks of the course will be reserved for the implementation of the final project. The students will be assigned group projects in one of the presented areas, based on their preferences. The outcomes will be made into a scientific poster and students will be asked to present the projects to the other groups in a joint poster session.
Voraussetzungen / BesonderesParticipants should have basic knowledge about machine learning and statistics (e.g. Introduction to Machine Learning course or equivalent) and programming.

KurzbeschreibungDieser Kurs unterstützt Doktoranden in der Informatik dabei, die nötigen Fähigkeiten zu erwerben, um ihre ersten eigenständigen Publikationen zu erstellen.
LernzielWriting for Publication in Computer Science is a short course (5 x 4-lesson workshops) designed to help doctoral students develop the skills needed to write their first research articles. The course deals with topics such as:
- understanding the needs of different target readerships,
- managing the writing process efficiently,
- structuring texts effectively,
- producing logical flow in sentences and paragraphs,
- editing texts before submission, and
- revising texts in response to colleagues' feedback and reviewers' comments.
InhaltParticipants will be expected to produce a number of short texts (e.g., draft of a conference abstract) as homework assignments; they will receive individual feedback on these texts during the course. Wherever feasible, elements of participants' future conference/journal articles can be developed as assignments within the course, so it is likely to be particularly useful for those who have i) their data and are about to begin the writing process, or ii) an MSc thesis they would like to convert for publication.
