@zeileis Fritz's classes in Munich were what got me interested in . His teaching made it a thing that I could not only use but also peek under the hood of. His usage of ICA to separate a very gobbled recording into the national anthems of Germany and Austria, live in the lecture, was a big aha moment of being able to use stats and machine learning on more than just tabular data!
