- | == 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 (MA)== | ||
- | 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, | ||

+ | The system should be able to generate the necessary models required for re-detecting it again and also consult online information sources to automatically acquire knowledge about it. | ||
- | == Fluid Simulation in Gazebo (BA/MA)== | + | The focus of the thesis would be two-fold: |
- | | + | * Develop methods to automatically infer the object class of new objects. This would include perceiving it with state of the art sensors, constructing a 3d model of it and then infer the object class from online information sources. |
+ | * In the second step the system should also infer factual knowledge about the object from the internet and assert it into a robotic knowledgebase. Such knowledge could for example include the category of this product, typical object properties like its weight or typical location and much more. | ||
