- | == GPU-based Parallelization of Numerical Optimization Techniques (BA/ | ||
- | 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. | ||

- | == Online Learning of Markov Logic Networks for Natural-Language Understanding | + | == Visualization support assistant |
- | 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.

- | 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. | + | {{ :research:human_hand_cutting.png?150|}} |
