In Folge der gegenwärtigen Digitalisierung in der produzierenden Industrie werden Anwendungen oder Services mit potentiell positiven Auswirkungen auf Faktoren wie Effektivität und Arbeitsqualität entwickelt. Ein geeigneter Ansatz zur Stärkung motivierender Aspekte im Arbeitskontext kann Gamification darstellen. In dieser Arbeit ist die initiale Konzeption und Evaluation eines Gamification-Ansatzes für Anwender eines KI-Service zur Maschinenoptimierung dargestellt und möglichen Anforderungen an ein Konzept zur Motivationssteigerung extrahiert.
In dieser Ausarbeitung wird eine zeitliche Vorhersage von Erdbeben getroffen. Hierfür werden mit einem Datensatz aus Labor-Erdbeben Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) trainiert. Die trainierten Netzwerke geben Vorhersagen, indem sie einen Input an seismischen Daten klassifizieren. Durch das Klassifizieren kann das CNN die zeitliche Entfernung zum nächsten Erdbeben vorhersagen. Es werden hierfür zwei Ansätze miteinander verglichen. Beim ersten Ansatz werden die Originaldaten in ein CNN gegeben. Beim zweiten Ansatz wird vor dem CNN eine Vorverarbeitung der Daten mit den Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) durchgeführt. Es zeigt sich, dass mit beiden Ansätzen eine gute Klassifikation möglich ist. Die Kombination aus MFCC und CNN liefert die besseren quantitativen Ergebnisse. Hierbei konnte eine Genauigkeit von 65 % erreicht werden.
Semi-automated image data labelling using AprilTags as a pre-processing step for machine learning
(2019)
Data labelling is a pre-processing step to prepare data for machine learning. There are many ways to collect and prepare this data, but these are usually associated with a greater effort. This paper presents an approach to semi-automated image data labelling using AprilTags. The AprilTags attached to the object, which contain a unique ID, make it possible to link the object surfaces to a particular class. This approach will be implemented and used to label data of a stackable box.
The data is evaluated by training a You Only Look Once (YOLO) net, with a subsequent evaluation of the detection results. These results show that the semi-automatically collected and labelled data can certainly be used for machine learning. However, if concise features of an object surface are covered by the AprilTag, there is a risk that the concerned class will not be recognized. It can be assumed that the labelled data can not only be used for YOLO, but also for other machine learning approaches.
Bereits zum elften Mal findet nun die Studierendenkonferenz Informatics Inside statt. Als Teil des Masterstudiengangs Human-Centered Computing organisieren Masterstudierende selbständig eine vollumfängliche wissenschaftliche Konferenz.
Die Informatik ist nach wie vor ständigem Wandel unterworfen. Unsere Studierenden tragen diesem Wandel bei, indem sie in ihrer wissenschaftllichen Vertiefung aktuelle Problemstellungen durch innovative Konzepte lösen. Inzwischen ist die Informatik aber auch nicht immer sofort sichtbar. Das merken wir immer dann, wenn etwas nicht wie vorgesehen funktioniert. Das diesjährige Motto der Informatics Inside ist experience (IT), verdeckt als Funktionsaufruf:).
Aimed at the problem that the accuracy of face image classification in complex environment is not high, a network model F-Net suitable for aesthetic classification of face images is proposed. Based on LeNet-5, the model uses convolutional layers to extract facial image features in complex backgrounds, optimized parameters in the network model, and changes the number of convolutional layers and fully connected layer feature elements in the model. The experimental results show that the F-Net network model proposed in this paper has a face image classifation accuracy of 73% in complex environment background, which is better than other classical convolutional neural network classification models.
In this paper, we address the novel EDP (Expert Design Plan) principle for procedural design automation of analog integrated circuits, which captures the knowledge-based design strategy of human circuit designers in an executable script, making it reusable. We present the EDP Player, which enables the creation and execution of EDPs for arbitrary circuits in the Cadence® Virtuoso® Design Environment. The tool provides a generic version of an instruction set, called EDPL (EDPLanguage), enabling emulation of a typical manual analog sizing flow. To automate the design of a Miller Operational Amplifier and to create variants of a Smart Power IC, several EDPs were implemented using this tool. Employing these EDPs leads to a strong reduction of design time without compromising design quality or reliability.
Serverless computing is an emerging cloud computing paradigm with the goal of freeing developers from resource management issues. As of today, serverless computing platforms are mainly used to process computations triggered by events or user requests that can be executed independently of each other. These workloads benefit from on-demand and elastic compute resources as well as per-function billing. However, it is still an open research question to which extent parallel applications, which comprise most often complex coordination and communication patterns, can benefit from serverless computing.
In this paper, we introduce serverless skeletons for parallel cloud programming to free developers from both parallelism and resource management issues. In particular, we investigate on the well known and widely used farm skeleton, which supports the implementation of a wide range of applications. To evaluate our concepts, we present a prototypical development and runtime framework and implement two applications based on our framework: Numerical integration and hyperparameter optimization - a commonly applied technique in machine learning. We report on performance measurements for both applications and discuss
the usefulness of our approach.
The Virtual Power Plant Neckar-Alb is a demonstration platform for operation, optimization and control of distributed energy resources, which are able to produce, store or consume electric energy. A heterogeneous set of distributed energy devices has been installed at the Campus of Reutlingen University by the Reutlingen Energy Centre (REZ) of the School of Engineering. The distributed energy devices have been combined to local microgrids and connected to an operative central power plant with additional participants. The demonstration platform serves students, researchers and industry experts for education and investigation of new technologies, devices and software.
A digital twin - a replica of energy devices - was established in the computing environment of MATLAB and Simulink. It simulates continuously their operation and is time synchronized and connected to the cenral energy management and control system of a virtual power plant. The model can be used as a platform for testing device performance in various conditions, working schedules and new optimization options.
Companies are continuously changing their strategy, processes, and information systems to benefit from the digital transformation. Controlling the digital architecture and governance is the fundamental goal. Enterprise Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) systems are vital for managing digital risks threatening in modern enterprises from many different angles. The most significant constituent to GRC systems is the definition of controls that is implemented on different layers of a digital Enterprise Architecture (EA). As part of the compliant aspect of GRC, the effectiveness of these controls is assessed and reported to relevant management bodies within the enterprise. In this paper, we present a metamodel which links controls to the affected elements of a digital EA and supplies a way of expressing associated assessment techniques and results. We complement a metamodel with an expository instantiation of a control compliance cockpit in an international insurance enterprise.
