Towards Effective Natural Language Application Development
(2019)
There is a current trend that more and more computer programs analyze written or spoken natural language. For example, DVAs, IE systems, machine translation systems, and many other types of programs process natural language in order to solve specific use cases when interacting with humans via natural language. Amazon, Google, and Mycroft AI are just some of the companies that have produced DVAs capable of interacting with humans via voice. Such NLP applications use techniques from computer science and artificial ...

Applicability of Emergence Engineering to Distributed Systems Scenarios
(2009-01-09)
Genetic Programming can be effectively used to create emergent behavior for a group of autonomous agents. In the process we call Offline Emergence Engineering, the behavior is at first bred in a Genetic Programming environment and then deployed to the agents in the real environment. In this article we shortly describe our approach, introduce an extended behavioral rule syntax, and discuss the impact of the expressiveness of the behavioral description to the generation success, using two scenarios in comparison: the ...

A User-Centric Perspective on Parallel Programming with Focus on OpenMP
(2008-01-16)
The process of developing software that takes advantage of multiple processors is commonly referred to as parallel programming. For various reasons, this process is much harder than the sequential case. For decades, parallel programming has been a problem for a small niche only: engineers working on parallelizing mostly numerical applications in High Performance Computing. This has changed with the advent of multi-core processors in mainstream computer architectures. Parallel programming in our days becomes a problem ...

Evolving Distributed Algorithms with Genetic Programming
(2009-05-11)
Distributed systems are one of the most vital components of the economy. The most prominent example is probably the internet, a constituent element of our knowledge society. During the recent years, the number of novel network types has steadily increased. Amongst others, sensor networks, distributed systems composed of tiny computational devices with scarce resources, have emerged. The further development and heterogeneous connection of such systems imposes new requirements on the software development process. Mobile ...

Framework for middleware executed on mobile devices
(2007-10-09)
Die ubiquitäre Datenverarbeitung ist ein attraktives Forschungsgebiet des vergangenen und aktuellen Jahrzehnts. Es handelt von unaufdringlicher Unterstützung von Menschen in ihren alltäglichen Aufgaben durch Rechner. Diese Unterstützung wird durch die Allgegenwärtigkeit von Rechnern ermöglicht die sich spontan zu verteilten Kommunikationsnetzwerken zusammen finden, um Informationen auszutauschen und zu verarbeiten. Umgebende Intelligenz ist eine Anwendung der ubiquitären Datenverarbeitung und eine strategische ...

Trajectory Mapping in Physical and Topical Spaces
(2023)
In this dissertation, two different types of trajectories are investigated. In the engfirst part of this work, we investigate methods for the analysis of physical trajectories. We focus on scenarios, in which signal strengths ofWiFi access points are recorded. In detail, they are recorded through smartphone devices by people moving through a building. By means of theWiFi signal strengths, (physical) trajectories of humans are reconstructed, which reflect the locations visited over time. Accurate localization based ...

Orometry, Intrinsic Dimensionality and Learning: Novel Insights into Network Data
(2023-11)
Today, networks are an integral part of our world. Let it be real-life friendship networks or social connections that are based on social media. In this thesis, we contribute to the understanding of networks by studying networks from three different perspectives. First, we adapt notions and concepts from orometry to metric data and networks to gain novel insights from a local perspective. Specifically, we study measures of local outstandingness and propose concepts to derive small hierarchies from larger networks. ...

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 ...
