- | 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. | + | **Prerequisites: |

- | 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, | + | **Duration |
