  • Förderzeitraum: since 01/2011 (DFG)
  • Sprecher: Prof. Dr. Katharina Morik
  • URL: SFB 876

The collaborative research center SFB876 brings together data mining and embedded systems. On the one hand, embedded systems can be further improved using machine learning. On the other hand, data mining algorithms can be realized in hardware, e.g. FPGAs, or run on GPGPUs. The restrictions of ubiquitous systems in computing power, memory, and energy demand new algorithms for known learning tasks. These resource bounded learning algorithms may also be applied on extremely large data bases on servers.

Urban environments are awash with data from fixed and mobile sensors and monitoring infrastructures from public, private, or industry sources. Making such data useful would enable developing novel big data applications to benefit the citizens of Europe in areas such as transportation, infrastructures, and crime prevention. Urban data is heterogeneous, noisy, and unlabeled, which severely reduces its usability. Succinctly stated, urban data are difficult to understand. The goal of the VaVeL project is to radically advance our ability to use urban data in applications that can identify and address citizen needs and improve urban life. Our motivation comes from problems in urban transportation. This project will develop a general purpose framework for managing and mining multiple heterogeneous urban data streams for cities become more efficient, productive and resilient. The framework will be able to solve major issues that arise with urban transportation related data and are currently not dealt by existing stream management technologies. The project brings together two European cities that provide diverse large scale data of cross-country origin and real application needs, three major European companies in this space, and a strong group of researchers that have uniquely strong expertise in analyzing real-life urban data. VaVeL aims at making fundamental advances in addressing the most critical inefficiencies of current (big) data management and stream frameworks to cope with emerging urban sensor data thus making European urban data more accessible and easy to use and enhancing European industries that use big data management and analytics. The consortium develops end-user driven concrete scenaria that are addressing real, important problems with the potential of enormous impact, and a large spectrum of technology requirements, thus enabling the realization of the fundamental capabilities required and the realistic evaluation of the success of our methods.

Vista-TV

  • Start: 06/2012
  • Partners: University of Zurich (Coordindator), TU Dortmund University, Rapid-I GmbH, Zattoo Europa AG, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, BBC
  • URL: Vista-TV.eu

Live video content is increasingly consumed over IP networks in addition to traditional broadcasting. The move to IP provides a huge opportunity to discover what people are watching in much greater breadth and depth than currently possible through interviews or set-top box based data gathering by rating organizations, because it allows direct analysis of consumer behavior via the logs they produce. The ViSTA-TV project proposes to gather consumers’ anonymized viewing behavior and the actual video streams from broadcasters/IPTV-transmitters, to combine them with enhanced electronic program guide information as the input for a holistic live-stream data mining analysis.
ViSTA-TV will employ the gathered information via a stream-analytics process to generate a high-quality linked open dataset (LOD) describing live TV programming. Combining the LOD with the behavioral information gathered, ViSTA-TV will be in the position to provide highly accurate market research information about viewing behavior that can be used for a variety of analyses of high interest to all participants in the TV-industry. ViSTA-TV will employ the information gathered to build a recommendation service that exploits both usage information and personalized feature extraction in conjunction with existing metadata to provide real-time viewing recommendations.
These results will be made possible by scientific progress in data-stream mining consisting of advances in data mining for tagging, recommendations, and behavioral analyses and temporal/probabilistic RDF-triple stream processing.

ViSTA-TV is a European Union-funded research project, beginning on 1 June 2012, and lasting for two years.


KobRA - Korpus-basierte linguistische Recherche und Analyse mit Hilfe von Data-Mining

  • Duration : 09/2012 - 08/2015
  • Participants: Prof. Dr. Angelika Storrer, Prof. Dr. Katharina Morik, Prof. Dr. Erhard Hinrichs, Dr. Alexander Geyken, Dr. Marc Kupietz, Dr. Andreas Witt
  • URL: KoBRA

Korpus-basierte Linguistik hat sich in den letzten Jahren zu einem wichtigen Gebiet der Sprachforschung entwickelt. In Infrastrukturprojekten wie CLARIN werden umfangreiche, strukturierte Sprachressourcen (Textkorpora, Baumbanken, lexikalische Wortnetze) bereitgestellt, die neuartige und attraktive Möglichkeiten bieten, linguistische Fragestellungen an authentischen Sprachverwendungsdaten zu untersuchen und quantitativ auszuwerten.

Ziel des Projekts ist es, durch den Einsatz innovativer Data-Mining-Verfahren (insbesondere Verfahren des maschinellen Lernens) die Möglichkeiten der empirischen linguistischen Arbeit mit strukturierten Sprachressourcen zu verbessern.


DDMD Data Driven Material Development

In diesem Projekt soll das systematische Design neuer Materialien durch die interdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit zwischen Materialwissenschaften und Informatik vorangetrieben werden. Der neue Wissenschaftszweig heißt „Data Driven Materials Development“ oder „Datengetriebene Materialentwicklung“. In diesem Gebiet sollen sowohl neue Entdeckungen und Einsichten, z.B. über bisher unbekannte Phasen oder über besondere physikalische Eigenschaften der Materialien, gewonnen werden, als auch die Entwicklung neuer Materialien beschleunigt werden. Hierzu arbeiten in der Materialforschung zwei Lehrstühle der RUB zur synergistischen Nutzung von experimentellen Hochdurchsatzmethoden und analytischer Modellierung mit zwei Informatik-Lehrtsühlen der TU Dortmund und der Universität Duisburg-Essen zum Data Mining bzw. zur Hochdurchsatzanalyse zusammen. Dies ist notwendig, da in der systematischen Materialerforschung, insbesondere in den Bereichen Dünnschicht-Materialbibliotheken, Eigenschafts-Screenings und „Advanced Materials Simulation“, sehr große und hochdimensionale Datenmengen anfallen, die nur mit Hilfe von neuartigen Datenanalyseverfahren und entsprechenden Computerressourcen effizient analysiert werden können.


SFB 475 - Project A4

  • Duration: since 07/1997 (DFG)
  • Project Leader: Prof. Dr. Katharina Morik, Prof. Dr. Claus Weihs
  • Staff: Thorsten Joachims, Stefan Rüping, Ralf Klinkenberg, Ingo Mierswa, Martin Scholz, Michael Wurst
  • URL: SFB 475 - A4

The aim of project A4 is to combine statistical methods and methods of machine learning in order to improve Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD). After the process of the knowledge discovery was examined as a whole in the last period, we focus on two important problems in the current period. These problems often occur in practice of knowledge discovery. Corresponding research promises a special synergy effect because of the combination of statistical methods and machine learning methods: analysis temporal phenomenons in the form of events and the application of experimental design. Additionally, emphasis of the project is placed on the applied analysis of real databases.

SFB 531 - Project B5

  • Duration: 01/2000 - 12/2002 (DFG)
  • Project Leader: Prof. Dr. Katharina Morik
  • Staff: Oliver Ritthoff, Ralf Klinkenberg, Ingo Mierswa
  • URL: SFB 531 - B5

The goal of this project is the identification and formalization of practically relevant learning tasks on the basis of applications in the C-projects. Particular learning tasks which deviate from the standard scenario of classification respectively optimization as, e.g., learning with non-factual knowledge, repeated learning of similar concepts, learning of temporally varying concepts and feature selection/construction will be considered. In this context the problem of feature selection/construction will be a central aspect in the scope of investigations.

The goal of this project is to find optimal positionings for given chemical equipment with methods from the field of Computational Intelligence. We compare and evaluate several knowledge-based and numerical approaches to optimize a plant layout under given constraints. Up to now previous knowledge is not used for sub-symbolic optimization and ideas of knowledge-based optimization should be transferred into Computation Intelligence. This knowledge is extracted from plans provided by engineers.

AWAKE

  • Duration: 04/2001 - 12/2003 (BMBF)
  • Project Leader: Fraunhofer for Media Communication
  • Staff: Michael Wurst, Katharina Morik
  • URL: http://awake.imk.fhg.de

The aim of the project Awake is to explore how implicit knowledge structures in different communities of experts can be discovered, visualised and employed for semantic navigation of information spaces and construction of new knowledge. The developed methods combine semantic text analysis with Machine Learning and interfaces for visualising relationships and creating new knowledge structures. Application scenarios include automatic generation of personalised knowledge portals, collaborative semantic exploration of complex information spaces and construction of shared ontology networks for the SemanticWeb. The real-world testbed and context of development is the Internet platform netzspannung.org that aims at establishing a knowledge portal connecting digital art, culture and information technology.

Mining Mart

  • Duration: 01/2000 - 02/2003 (EU)
  • Project Leader: Katharina Morik

Within the data mining process considerable time is spent for pre-processing the data. Practical experiences have shown that the time spent on preprocessing can take from 50% up to 80% of the entire data mining process when using the traditional attribute-value learners. Thats why preprocessing is the key issue in data analysis. The time is spend for:

  • Choosing the learning task
  • Sampling
  • Feature generation, extraction, and selection
  • Data cleaning
  • Model selection or tuning the hypothesis space
  • Defining appropriate evaluation criteria

Experienced users can apply any learning system successfully to any application, since they prepare the data well. The representation of examples and the choice of a sample determines the applicability of learning methods. A chain of data transformations (learning steps or manual preprocessing) delivers the desired result. Experienced users remember prototypical successful transformation/learning chains.

COMRIS

The COMRIS project aims to develop, demonstrate and experimentally evaluate a scalable approach to integrating the Inhabited Information Spaces schema with a concept of software agents. The COMRIS vision of co-habited mixed-reality information spaces emphasizes the co-habitation of software and human agents in a pair of closely coupled spaces, a virtual and a real one. However, this project does not pursue the perceptual integration of real and virtual space into an augmented reality. Instead the coupling aims at focusing the large potential for useful social interactions in each of the spaces, so that they become more manageable, goal-directed and effective.

BLearn

  • Duration: 9/1992 - 8/1995 (EU)
  • Project Leader: University of Karlsruhe
  • Staff: Volker Klingspor, Katharina Morik, Anke Rieger
  • URL:

Within the project BLearn II machine learning methods are applied to robotics, in order to reduce the time for setting up and modifying robot applications, and in order to make the operation of robots more user-friendly. The task of chair VIII within this project is to integrate logic-based learning into navigation. The goal is to allow a human user to give abstract commands, such as &qoute;Pass through the doorway, turn left and stop &qoute;. In order to execute these commands, the robot has to be able to recognize, for example, a door or a cupboard. In addition, the robot has to be able to find a door and to execute a left turn in a flexible way, adjusting itself to the different spatial conditions. A hierarchy of learning steps has been developed, which starts from sensor data and robot moves, and which leads to operational concepts. They integrate information about perceptions and actions, such that object recognition and action are coupled directly.
