This textbook explains learning methods based on analytical concepts in conjunction with complete programming examples in Python, always referring to real technical application scenarios. It demonstrates the use of physics-informed learning strategies, the incorporation of uncertainty into modeling, and the development of explainable, trustworthy artificial intelligence with the help of specialized databases.

Therefore, this textbook is aimed at students of engineering, natural sciences, medicine, and business administration as well as practitioners from industry (especially data scientists), developers of expert databases, and software developers.

The Author

Dr. Marcus J. Neuer has developed machine learning and explainable artificial intelligence for usable, profitable applications in various research and industry projects. He leads the research and development department at innoRIID GmbH and teaches at RWTH Aachen as well as the University of Applied Sciences for Business, FHDW. His algorithms are successfully used today in various products, including in the fields of nuclear safety and the process industry.

The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence. A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content.
