- | 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, | ||

+ | A recent development in the field of AI is the usage of photorealistic simulations, | ||
+ | In our research group, we focus on the development of modern robots that can make use of the potential of game engines. This requires a high degree of specialized game engine plugins that can simulate certain aspects of our research. Another important task is the creation of 3d models. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Therefore, we are currently offering multiple Hiwi positions / student jobs for the following tasks: | ||
+ | * Modelling of objects for the use in Unreal Engine 4. | ||
+ | * Creation of specific simulation aspects in Unreal Engine 4. For example the development of interactable objects. | ||
