All reports, documentations, and communications with the mentor are in English.
When sending us a thesis-inquiry, please also attach your transcript.
We will give you an initial assignment to assess your skills and background to find a suitable topic for you. You have to finish the assignment in 2 weeks. The initial assessment includes:
Questions about the theoretical foundation
An implementation task
A reproduction study
Please inform us timely if you decide to write your thesis with others so that the topic is not blocked.
After being qualified for a thesis topic, you have to give an introductory talk in 2 weeks in our group seminar (the audience includes Prof. Beyer and other members of SoSy-Lab).
You have to meet the mentor regularly (weekly or biweekly) to report your progress using the protocol below:
What have you achieved since the last meeting?
What were the challenges, and how did you solve them?
What are your next steps?
Meetings and presentations typically happen in the presence.
You must rehearse the introductory talk and final presentation with the mentor.
The mentor will review your code; resolving the issues is part of your thesis work.
You have to create a reproduction package for your thesis.
We aim to publish outstanding theses at international conferences or journals.
