Motivation is the key to successful learning, in particular practicing to play a music hit has a potential to increase motivation and by doing so to accelerate learning. 

The goal of this project is to implement  a NN music hit generator and integrate it into existing intelligent tutoring software.

Virtual try on of clothes with deep learning and image segmentation using just a 2d image. To create a shopping environment close to reality, virtual try-on technology has attracted a lot of interests recently by delivering product information similar to that obtained from direct product examination. It allows users to experience themselves wearing different clothes without efforts of changing them physically.

gazebo_sim The goal of this project is to develop a modelling approach to enable a human to learn a complex motor skill quickly. Learning of motor skills such as piano playing involves mastering of multiple subskills, such as reading music score, simultaneously controlling fingers and hands.

We are developing an AI agent for drone control capable of solving SLAM-related problems [1] in environments with challenging features such as changing light conditions, low illumination, adverse weather, and dynamic objects. If you would like to know more about this thesis / project opportunity, please contact: Dr. Andrew Melnik <andrew.melnik(at)uni-bielefeld.de>

gazebo_sim Learning of a new skill is a process that is commonly accompanied by an expert. Inspired by the MAML [1] the goal of this thesis is to implement a meta-learner to accelerate human learning. We will develop a tool that teaches a novice to play piano, guided by the dexmo exoskeleton.

Vision-Based robot control typically requires a large amount of manual tuning and feature selection (edge, color, SIFT features, etc.). Modern (GPU-driven) computing power and more robust numerical methods, nowadays allow for training of deep neural networks that extract suitable features for a given task automatically and that are able to learn control tasks in an end-to-end fashion, i.e.
