Explaining and Visualizing Structural Knowledge in Bipartite Graphs
(2023)
Bipartite graphs are an important model for the representation and analysis of relationships between two different types of entities. Datasets in this form are commonly found in many fields, such as social networks, biology, and economics. Formal concept analysis is a research approach that allows for the analysis of such bipartite graphs by clustering the data into so-called concepts and ordering those in a lattice structure.
In this thesis we propose multiple approaches for the extraction and visualization of ...

Learning planning communication in cooperative multi-agent settings
(2023)
This work is a holistic investigation of the question of how and why reinforcement learning (RL) agents fail to develop planning communication in a cooperative setting. It is also a guide to anyone trying to build a system that learns to use planning communication patterns. We examine the state of the art in multi-agent systems and emergent communication for the existence of communication patterns that share information about future actions and plans. To do this, we strategically formulate hypotheses that question ...

Attribute Exploration with Multiple Experts
(2023)
Attribute exploration is a knowledge acquisition method from the realm of formal concept analysis that allows a domain expert to efficiently uncover the dependencies in a domain. It is based on a question-answering scheme where the exploration algorithm generates questions about dependencies in the domain that are then answered by a domain expert. Even though many variants and extension to this were developed, only few attempts to incorporate multiple experts were made. The overarching goal of this thesis is to extend ...

Situative Teams in Cooperative Autonomous Systems
(2023)
Distributed systems have been established in many areas of IT and will play an even more significant role in the future. Such systems are no longer limited to specific fields of application but interconnect many different domains. They encompass, e. g. Cloud Computing, Internet of Things, service robotics, and autonomous vehicles. The integrated sub-systems communicate in order to exchange information and, if necessary, perform tasks together. Moreover, the number of interconnected sub-systems is constantly growing. ...

Conputational Linguistic Approach to Implicit Sentiment Analysis: Politeness and Sentiment Interaction
(2022)
Sentiment analysis is a hot topic in many research fields such as linguistics, computer science and marketing. With the development of technology, machines can reach very high performance on explicit sentiment analysis both sentence-level and aspect-level. The role of computational linguists has also changed from handcrafting scoring rules to guide training data annotation as the algorithms are developed from rule-based scoring to deep learning models that can extract language features themselves. Moreover, research ...

Effektive Integration von heterogenen Produktkatalogen im schnelllebigen Umfeld des E-Commerce
(2023)
Online-Marktplätze generieren von Jahr zu Jahr einen größeren Anteil des Einzelhandelsumsatzes. Ein wichtiger Faktor für den Erfolg von Online-Marktplätzen ist die korrekte Darstellung der Produktdaten für ihre Kunden. Diese Daten werden häufig von Zulieferern in Form von Produktkatalogen zur Verfügung gestellt, die in den Online-Marktplatz integriert werden müssen. Um dies zu erreichen, sind insbesondere kleine und mittelständische Unternehmen häufig auf aufwändige manuelle Arbeitsschritte bei der Datenintegration ...

Development of Selectively Actuatable Micromirror Arrays and Scalable Lithography Processes for Large-Area Applications as Smart Window
(2023)
This thesis provides an extensive overview on the state-of-the-art daylighting systems for applications in buildings and subsequently addresses the implementation of subfield addressing in micromirror arrays and investigation of a potential scalable lithography process for the large-area fabrication, both have been identified as the research gap in achieving the envisioned application as smart window. The work is conducted in continuation of the optimized fabrication process and the successful fabrication of a lab ...

Algorithms for Emotion Recognition
(2023)
Technological advancements have increasingly facilitated emotion recognition through physiological sensors integrated into intelligent devices, such as earables and wristbands. People commonly wear these devices in their everyday lives (i.e., in the wild). Patterns can be extracted from various physiological signals, enabling the recognition of emotions. This capability can be integrated into diverse applications, such as attention management systems, human-robot interaction, and stress detection, enhancing them to ...

Investigation and Elimination of Substructures in Formal Concept Analysis focusing on Boolean Suborders and Subcontexts
(2023)
In the field of Formal Concept Analysis, data is mainly presented in so-called formal contexts, which assign to a set of objects their respective attributes. From those concept lattices can be generated, where the objects are grouped with respect to their common attributes to represent the relationships in the data in a way that enhances the understandability for humans. However, since a concept lattice can be of exponential size compared to its associated formal context, the presented relationships often become hard ...
