The Westdeutsche Zeitung interviewed our group member Norman Meuschke about HyPlag and our other efforts to aid in the prevention and detection of academic plagiarism. Read the report (in German).
As of January 9, Wikipedia allows semantically enhancing mathematical formulae with the definitions of the terms they contain. For example, the formula of the famous mass-energy equivalence E=mc² now contains information on the variables E, m, and c. Clicking on the formula opens an information page (see figure) that displays the meanings of the variables and links to additional specifications of the formula’s terms. Our [...]
Bela Gipp will give a Keynote at the KO:MON convention in Bremen on September 19th. KO:MON is Germany’s largest industry forum for monitoring and control room technology. Due to the growing demand for intelligent systems in industry, infrastructure, and in many service sectors, monitoring and control tasks are becoming increasingly important. This year, the convention is in its 11th year. It is aimed at both researches who drive innovation of control room technology and industry professionals who apply new concepts in practice. Bela's talk will be titled: "(K)eine Vision – Revisionssichere Abbildung von Anlagen und Prozessen mittels Blockchain-Technolgie". Link [...]
We're happy to announce that this week, Terry Ruas (Ph.D.) joined our research group. Terry Ruas has a Ph.D. in Computer and Information Science at the University of Michigan – Dearborn (USA). His research interests lie at the intersection of natural language processing, data science, and machine learning applied to text mining to extract semantic features. More specifically, his work [...]
On September 9th, 2019, Prof. J. Stephen Downie will visit our research group and give a talk titled ‘‘Extracted Features: HathiTrust and Beyond’’. The talk will take place in our seminar room (FC 0.10) at 2 p.m. and is open to all students and faculty members. J. Stephen Downie is the Associate Dean for Research and a Professor at the School of Information Sciences at the University of [...]
