Is your Perception of "Luxury" Similar to Mine? A Concept Made of Absolute and Relative Features

Rechtsverträgliche und qualitätszentrierte Gestaltung für "KI made in Germany"
(2020-02-21)
Künstlich intelligente (KI) Systeme erfreuen sich immer größerer Beliebtheit.

Prior research suggests that these inconsistencies in TML literature might stem from neglecting the importance of considering the process perspective in ...
