Data Science in Medicine
Health data analytics is one of the main drivers for the future of medicine. Various sources of big data, including patient records, diagnostic images, genomic data, wearable sensors, are being generated in our everyday life by health care practitioners, researchers, and patients themselves. Data science aims to identify patterns, discovering the underlying cause of diseases and well being by analyzing this data.
Distributed Ledger Technology
This class strives to convey basic knowledge and practical experience for the use of blockchain technologies. Blockchain is considered as one specific instance of Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT). DLT is known for its distributed transaction management and process automation via smart contracts. The class will introduce DLT as a new paradigm for cooperation management across flexible business partnerships.
Prozess Management
The Process Management lecture will introduce concepts and tools for capturing, planning and executing processes.
Bridge Course Databases
A blended learning bridge course for master students in Data Science, Computational Social Science and related programs.
Mixed Reality Lab
Mixed Reality is a continuum of spatial computing experiences on virtual, augmented and extended reality devices, such as the Microsoft HoloLens, the HTC Vive, and mobile phones. In this lab, we learn the basics of mixed reality software development in hands-on lessons with practical tasks. The lab contains a small independent project student groups can propose and work on.
Social Computing Seminar
Social Computing is an area of computer science that is concerned with the intersection of social behavior and computational systems. It is based on creating or recreating social conventions and social contexts through the use of software and technology. In this seminar we explore recent topics in social computing like Social Bots, Fake News, Filter Bubbles, Socio-political campaigns, Shit & Candy Storms, Social Augmented and Virtual Reality, Gamification, Serious Games, Science 2.0
Knowledge Graph Lab SS 2022
Knowledge Graphs are large graphs used to capture information about the real world in such a way that is is useful for applications. In these data structures, there are all sorts of entities (for example, people, events, places, organizations, etc.). Knowledge Graphs are used by many organizations to represent the information they need for their operations. The most well-known example is Google, where a knowledge graph is used to enrich the search results. Also personal assistants, such as Amazon’s Alexa, Apple’s Siri and Google Now, as well as question answering systems such as IBM Watson, make use of knowledge graphs to provide information to their users.
Besides these, also other information graphs, are in use by large organizations to improve or personalize their services. Examples include the Facebook graph, the Amazon product graph, and the Thompson Reuters Knowledge Graph.
Opensource Knowledge Graphs such as Wikidata and DBPedia provide universal access to linked entities from a large range of domains.
The graph also contains all sorts of information about these entities (e.g., age, opening hours, …) and relations between them (e.g., “this shop is located in Aachen”). Furthermore, it may contain context information (e.g., the source of some information) and schema information or background knowledge (e.g., “shops have opening hours”).
In this course we will give a basic practical introduction to working with these graphs. We plan to cover the following in the course:
- Graph representation of data
- Knowledge Graph basics
- Knowledge Graph creation and maintainance tasks: Creation, Hosting, Curation and Deployment
- Use of vocabularies and ontologies as schemas for graphs
- Searching information in knowledge graphs
- Information extraction into knowledge graphs
- Data mining techniques for knowledge graphs
- Knowledge graph completion (predicting links, finding anomalies)
- Data governance aspects, e.g., data quality
- Architectures for knowledge graphs (e.g., data lakes, central vs. decentral storage, knowledge graphs on top of relational or NoSQL databases)
Datenbanken und Informationssysteme
Die Vorlesung “Datenbanken und Informationssysteme” gibt einen einführenden Überblick über Datenbanken und ihre Verwendung in Informationssystemen.
Informationsmanagement für öffentliche Mobilitätsangebote
Die Vorlesung gibt eine Einführung in die organisatorischen und technischen Aufgabenstellungen bei der Planung, der Organisation, dem Betrieb und der Qualitätssicherung von öffentlichen Mobilitätsangeboten, die mit Hilfe von Ansätzen aus der Informatik und Informationssystemen gelöst werden können.
Seminar Data Stream Management and Analysis
Low-cost sensors and high communication bandwidths open up new possibilities for applications that benefit from a high amount of data. Such applications produce data continuously, potentially unbounded, and at high rates, which is subsumed under the term data stream. Examples for applications fields are smart manufacturing, high-speed trading, fraud detection, robotics, or social networks. Data stream management systems are special systems which address the specific requirements handling data streams. In this seminar we will research recent topics in data stream management and analysis, such as data compression, online learning, or operator distribution. The seminar will be offered as block seminar.
