-== GPU-based Parallelization of Numerical Optimization Techniques (BA/MA/HiWi)==+<html><!-- 
 +== Lisp / CRAM support assistant (HiWi) ==
  
-In the field of Machine Learning, numerical optimization techniques play a focal role. However, as models grow larger, traditional implementations on single-core CPUs suffer from sequential execution causing a severe slow-down. In this thesis, state-of-the-art GPU frameworks (e.g. CUDA) are to be investigated in order implement numerical optimizers that substantially profit from parallel execution.+Technical support for the group for Lisp and the CRAM framework. \\ 
 +8+ hours per week for up to 1 year (paid).
  
 Requirements: Requirements:
-  * Skills in numerical optimization algorithms +  * Good programming skills in Common Lisp 
-  * Good programming skills in Python and C/C+++  * Basic ROS knowledge
  
-Contact: [[team:daniel_nyga|Daniel Nyga]]+The student will be introduced to the CRAM framework at the beginning of the job, which is a robot programming framework written in Lisp. The student will then be responsible for assisting not familiar with the framework people, explaining them the parts they don't understand and pointing them to the relevant documentation sources.
  
-== Online Learning of Markov Logic Networks for Natural-Language Understanding (MA)==+Contact: [[team:gayane_kazhoyan|Gayane Kazhoyan]] 
 +--></html> 
 +== Web development / Visualization / Misc (Student Job / HiWi)==
  
-Markov Logic Networks (MLNs) combine the expressive power of first-order logic and probabilistic graphical models. In the past, they have been successfully applied to the problem of semantically interpreting and completing natural-language instructions from the web. State-of-the-art learning techniques mostly operate in batch mode, i.e. all training instances need to be known in the beginning of the learning process. In context of this thesis, online learning methods for MLNs are to be investigated, which allow incremental learning, when new examples come in one-by-one.+Designing a visualization toolbox to illustrate the idea behind the CRC 'Colored States', an interdisciplinary project combining materials science and machine learning. 
 +Different tools are to be developed to visualize data, select subsets of data for detailed view, represent relations between data points, ...
  
 Requirements: Requirements:
-  * Experience in Machine Learning. +  * Good programming skills 
-  * Experience with statistical relational learning (e.g. MLNs) is helpful. +  * Familiar with basic web development 
-  * Good programming skills in Python.+  * Creativity

-We are currently investigating a new set of sensors (RGB-D-T), which is a combination of a kinect with a thermal image camera. Within this project we want to enhance the Depth-Adaptive Superpixels (DASP) to make use of the thermal sensor data. Depth-Adaptive Superpixels oversegment an image taking into account the depth value of each pixel.+
  
-Since the current implementation of DASP is not very performant for high resolution images, there are several options for doing a project in this field like reimplementing DASP using CUDA, investigating how thermal data can be integrated, ...+== Integrating PR2 in the Unreal Game Engine Framework (BA/MA/HiWi)==
