Replikation einer Multi-Agenten-Simulationsumgebung zur Überprüfung auf Integrität und Konsistenz
(2012)
In dieser Master -Arbeit möchte ich zunächst eine Simulation vorstellen, mit der das Verhalten von Agenten untersucht wird, die in einer generierten Welt versuchen zu über leben und dazu einige Handlungsmöglichkeiten zur Auswahl haben. Anschließend werde ich kurz die theoretischen Aspekte beleuchten, welche hier zu Grunde liegen. Der Hauptteil meiner Arbeit ist meine Replikation einer Simulation, die von Andreas König im Jahr 2000 in Java angefertigt worden ist [Kö2000] . Ich werde hier seine Arbeit in stark verkürzter Form darstellen und anschließend auf meine eigene Entwicklung eingehen.
Im Schlussteil der Arbeit werde ich die Ergebnisse meiner Simulation mit denen von Andreas König vergleichen und die verwendeten Werkzeuge (Java und NetLogo) besprechen. Zum Abschluss werde ich in einem Fazit mein Vorhaben kurz zusammenfassen und berichten was sich umsetzen ließ, was nicht funktioniert hat und warum.
With the appearance of modern virtual reality (VR) headsets on the consumer market, there has been the biggest boom in the history of VR technology. Naturally, this was accompanied by an increasing focus on the problems of current VR hardware. Especially the control in VR has always been a complex topic.
One possible solution is the Leap Motion, a hand tracking device that was initially developed for desktop use, but with the last major software update it can be attached to standard VR headsets. This device allows very precise tracking of the user’s hands and fingers and their replication in the virtual world.
The aim of this work is to design virtual user interfaces that can be operated with the Leap Motion to provide a natural method of interaction between the user and the VR environment. After that, subject tests are performed to evaluate their performance and compare them to traditional VR controllers.
The purpose of this thesis is to explore the sentiment distributions of Wikipedia concepts.
We analyse the sentiment of the entire English Wikipedia corpus, which includes 5,669,867 articles and 1,906,375 talks, by using a lexicon-based method with four different lexicons.
Also, we explore the sentiment distributions from a time perspective using the sentiment scores obtained from our selected corpus. The results obtained have been compared not only between articles and talks but also among four lexicons: OL, MPQA, LIWC, and ANEW.
Our findings show that among the four lexicons, MPQA has the highest sensitivity and ANEW has the lowest sensitivity to emotional expressions. Wikipedia articles show more sentiments than talks according to OL, MPQA, and LIWC, whereas Wikipedia talks show more sentiments than articles according to ANEW. Besides, the sentiment has a trend regarding time series, and each lexicon has its own bias regarding text describing different things.
Moreover, our research provides three interactive widgets for visualising sentiment distributions for Wikipedia concepts regarding the time and geolocation attributes of concepts.
Remote rendering services offer the possibility to stream high quality images to lower powered devices. Due to the transmission of data the interactivity of applications is afflicted with a delay. A method to reduce delay of the camera manipulation on the client is called 3d-warping. This method causes artifacts. In this thesis different approaches of remote rendering setups will be shown. The artifacts and improvements of the warping method will be described. Methods to reduce the artifacts will be implemented and analyzed.
Clubs, such as Scouts, rely on the work of their volunteer members, who have a variety of tasks to accomplish. Often there are sudden changes in their organization teams and offices, whereby planning steps are lost and inexperience in planning occurs. Since the special requirements are not covered by already existing tools, ScOuT, a planning tool for the organization administration, is designed and developed in this work to support clubs with regard to the mentioned problems. The focus was on identifying and using various suitable guidelines and heuristic methods to create a usable interface. The developed product was evaluated empirically by a user survey in terms of usability.
The result of this study shows that already a high degree of the desired goal could be reached by the inclusion of the guidelines and methods. From this it can be concluded that with the help of user-specific concept ideas and the application of suitable guidelines and methods, a suitable basis for a usable application to support clubs can be created.
Mit der Microsoft Kinect waren die ersten Aufnahmen von synchronisierten Farb- und Tiefendaten (RGB-D) möglich, ohne hohe finanzielle Mittel aufwenden zu müssen und neue Möglichkeiten der Forschung eröffneten sich. Mit fortschreitender Technik sind auch mobile Endgeräte in der Lage, immer mehr zu leisten. Lenovo und Asus bieten die ersten kommerziell erwerblichen Geräte mit RGB D-Wahrnehmung an. Mit integrierten Funktionen der Lokalisierung, Umgebungserkennung und Tiefenwahrnehmung durch die Plattform Tango von Google gibt es bereits die ersten Tests in verschiedenen Bereichen des Rechnersehens z.B. Mapping. In dieser Arbeit wird betrachtet, inwiefern sich ein Tango Gerät für die Objekterkennung eignet. Aus den Ausgangsdaten des Tango Geräts werden RGB D-Daten extrahiert und für die Objekterkennung verarbeitet. Es wird ein Überblick über den aktuellen Stand der Forschung und gewisse Grundlagen bezüglich der Tango Plattform gegeben. Dabei werden existierende Ansätze und Methoden für eine Objekterkennung auf mobilen Endgeräten untersucht. Die Implementation der Erkennung wird anhand einer selbst erstellten Datenbank von RGB-D Bildern gelernt und getestet. Neben der Vorstellung der Ergebnisse werden Verbesserungen und Erweiterungen für die Erkennung vorgeschlagen.
To construct a business process model manually is a highly complex and error-prone task which takes a lot of time and deep insights into the organizational structure, its operations and business rules. To improve the output of business analysts dealing with this process, different techniques have been introduced by researchers to support them during construction with helpful recommendations. These supporting recommendation systems vary in their way of what to recommend in the first place as well as their calculations taking place under the hood to recommend the most fitting element to the user. After a broad introduction into the field of business process modeling and its basic recommendation structures, this work will take a closer look at diverse proposals and descriptions published in current literature regarding implementation strategies to effectively and efficiently assist modelers during their business process model creation. A critical analysis of presentations in the selected literature will point out strengths and weaknesses of their approaches, studies and descriptions of those. As a result, the final concept matrix in this work will give a precise and helpful overview about the key features and recommendation methods used and implemented in previous research studies to pinpoint an entry into future works without the downsides already spotted by fellow researchers.
The thesis develops and evaluates a hypothetical model of the factors that influence user acceptance of weblog technology. Previous acceptance studies are reviewed, and the various models employed are discussed. The eventual model is based on the technology acceptance model (TAM) by Davis et al. It conceptualizes and operationalizes a quantitative survey conducted by means of an online questionnaire, strictly from a user perspective. Finally, it is tested and validated by applying methods of data analysis.
The annotation of digital media is no new area of research, instead it is widely investigated. There are many innovative ideas for creating the process of annotation. The most extensive segment of related work is about semi automatic annotation. One characteristic is common in the related work: None of them put the user in focus. If you want to build an interface, which is supporting and satsfying the user, you will have to do a user evaluation first. Whithin this thesis we want to analyze, which features an interface should or should not have to meet these requirements of support, user satisfaction and beeing intuitive. After collecting many ideas and arguing with a team of experts, we determined only a few of them. Different combination of these determined variables form the interfaces, we have to investigate in our usability study. The results of the usability leads to the assumption, that autocompletion and suggestion features supports the user. Furthermore coloring tags for grouping them into categories is not disturbing to the user, but has a tendency of being supportive. Same tendencies emerge for an interface consisting of two user interface elements. There is also an example given for the definition differences of being intuitive. This thesis leads to the concolusion that for reasons of user satisfaction and support it is allowed to differ from classical annotation interface features and to implement further usability studies in the section of annotation interfaces.
Problems in the analysis of requirements often lead to failures when developing software systems. This problem is nowadays being faced by requirements engineering. The early involvement of all kinds of stakeholders in the development of such a system and a structured process to elicitate and analyse requirements have made it a crucial factor as a first step in software development. The increasing complexity of modern softwaresystems though leads to a rising amount of information which has to be dealt with during analysis. Without the support of appropriate tools this would be almost impossible to do. Especially in bigger projects, which tend to be spatially distributed, an effective requirements engineering could not be implemented without this kind of support. Today there is a wide range of tools dealing with this matter. They have been in use since some time now and, in their most recent versions, realize the most important aspects of requirements engineering. Within the scope of this thesis some of these tools will be analysed, focussing on both the major functionalities concerning the management of requirements and the repository of these tools. The results of this analyis will be integrated into a reference model.
This Master Thesis is an exploratory research to determine whether it is feasible to construct a subjectivity lexicon using Wikipedia. The key hypothesis is that that all quotes in Wikipedia are subjective and all regular text are objective. The degree of subjectivity of a word, also known as ''Quote Score'' is determined based on the ratio of word frequency in quotations to its frequency outside quotations. The proportion of words in the English Wikipedia which are within quotations is found to be much smaller as compared to those which are not in quotes, resulting in a right-skewed distribution and low mean value of Quote Scores.
The methodology used to generate the subjectivity lexicon from text corpus in English Wikipedia is designed in such a way that it can be scaled and reused to produce similar subjectivity lexica of other languages. This is achieved by abstaining from domain and language-specific methods, apart from using only readily-available English dictionary packages to detect and exclude stopwords and non-English words in the Wikipedia text corpus.
The subjectivity lexicon generated from English Wikipedia is compared against other lexica; namely MPQA and SentiWordNet. It is found that words which are strongly subjective tend to have high Quote Scores in the subjectivity lexicon generated from English Wikipedia. There is a large observable difference between distribution of Quote Scores for words classified as strongly subjective versus distribution of Quote Scores for words classified as weakly subjective and objective. However, weakly subjective and objective words cannot be differentiated clearly based on Quote Score. In addition to that, a questionnaire is commissioned as an exploratory approach to investigate whether subjectivity lexicon generated from Wikipedia could be used to extend the coverage of words of existing lexica.
In der Masterthesis von Benjamin Waldmann mit dem Titel „Flusskrebse in Deutschland – Aktueller Stand der Verbreitung heimischer und invasiver gebietsfremder Flusskrebse in Deutschland; Überblick über die erfolgten Schutzmaßnahmen und den damit verbundenen Erfahrungen; Vernetzung der Akteure im Flusskrebsschutz“ wurden erstmals für alle heimischen wie gebietsfremden Flusskrebsarten (Zehnfußkrebse) Verbreitungskarten für Deutschland vorgelegt. Grundlage der Arbeit waren umfangreiche Recherchen und Abfragen zur Verbreitung der Arten in den Bundesländern bei den zuständigen Behörden, Institutionen, Artexperten und Privatpersonen. Die Rohdaten wurden qualitätsgesichert und in einem Geoinformationssystem aufbereitet und dargestellt, so dass daraus bundesweite Verbreitungskarten für jede Art in einem zehn Kilometerraster (UTM-Gitter im Bezugssystem ETRS89) erstellt werden konnten. Darüber hinaus wurden, ebenfalls auf Basis umfangreicher Recherchen und Abfragen, die unterschiedlichen Möglichkeiten für Schutzmaßnahmen für heimische Flusskrebspopulationen aufgezeigt, bewertet und daraus Empfehlungen abgeleitet. Besonderes Augenmerk wurde dabei auf das Management invasiver gebietsfremder Flusskrebsarten sowie der Umgang mit der Tierseuche Krebspest (Aphanomyces astaci) gelegt. Abschließend wurden Empfehlungen zur Vernetzung der Akteure im Flusskrebsschutz gegeben sowie die Ansprechpartner:innen in den einzelnen Bundesländern aufgeführt.
The content aggregator platform Reddit has established itself as one of the most popular websites in the world. However, scientific research on Reddit is hindered as Reddit allows (and even encourages) user anonymity, i.e., user profiles do not contain personal information such as the gender. Inferring the gender of users in large-scale could enable the analysis of gender-specific areas of interest, reactions to events, and behavioral patterns. In this direction, this thesis suggests a machine learning approach of estimating the gender of Reddit users. By exploiting specific conventions in parts of the website, we obtain a ground truth for more than 190 million comments of labeled users. This data is then used to train machine learning classifiers to use them to gain insights about the gender balance of particular subreddits and the platform in general. By comparing a variety of different approaches for classification algorithm, we find that character-level convolutional neural network achieves performance with an 82.3% F1 score on a task of predicting a gender of a user based on his/her comments. The score surpasses 85% mark for frequent users with more than 50 comments. Furthermore, we discover that female users are less active on Reddit platform, they write fewer comments and post in fewer subreddits on average, when compared to male users.
Opinion Mining : Using Twitter as a source of opinion for the prediction of stock market prices
(2012)
Neben den theoretischen Grundkonzepten der automatisierten Fließtextanalyse, die das Fundament dieser Arbeit bilden, soll ein Überblick in den derzeitigen Forschungsstand bei der Analyse von Twitter-Nachrichten gegeben werden. Hierzu werden verschiedene Forschungsergebnisse der, derzeit verfügbaren wissenschaftlichen Literatur erläutert, miteinander verglichen und kritisch hinterfragt. Deren Ergebnisse und Vorgehensweisen sollen in unsere eigene Forschung mit eingehen, soweit sie sinnvoll erscheinen. Ziel ist es hierbei, den derzeitigen Forschungsstand möglichst gut zu nutzen.
Ein weiteres Ziel ist es, dem Leser einen Überblick über verschiedene maschinelle Datenanalysemethoden zur Erkennung von Meinungen zu geben. Dies ist notwendig, um die Bedeutung der im späteren Verlauf der Arbeit eingesetzten Analysemethoden in ihrem wissenschaftlichen Kontext besser verstehen zu können. Da diese Methoden auf verschiedene Arten durchgeführt werden können, werden verschiedene Analysemethoden vorgestellt und miteinander verglichen. Hierdurch soll die Machbarkeit der folgenden Meinungsauswertung bewiesen werden. Um eine hinreichende Genauigkeit bei der folgenden Untersuchung zu gewährleisten, wird auf ein bereits bestehendes und evaluiertes Framework zurückgegriffen. Dieses ist als API 1 verfügbar und wird daher zusätzlich behandelt. Der Kern Inhalt dieser Arbeit wird sich der Analyse von Twitternachrichten mit den Methoden des Opinion Mining widmen.
Es soll untersucht werden, ob sich Korrelationen zwischen der Meinungsausprägung von Twitternachrichten und dem Börsenkurs eines Unternehmens finden lassen. Es soll dabei die Stimmungslage der Firma Google Inc. über einen Zeitraum von einem Monat untersucht und die dadurch gefunden Erkenntnisse mit dem Börsenkurs des Unternehmens verglichen werden. Ziel ist es, die Erkenntnisse von (Sprenger & Welpe, 2010) und (Taytal & Komaragiri, 2009) auf diesem Gebiet zu überprüfen und weitere Fragestellungen zu beantworten.
Since the invention of U-net architecture in 2015, convolutional networks based on its encoder-decoder approach significantly improved results in image analysis challenges. It has been proven that such architectures can also be successfully applied in different domains by winning numerous championships in recent years. Also, the transfer learning technique created an opportunity to push state-of-the-art benchmarks to a higher level. Using this approach is beneficial for the medical domain, as collecting datasets is generally a difficult and expensive process.
In this thesis, we address the task of semantic segmentation with Deep Learning and make three main contributions and release experimental results that have practical value for medical imaging.
First, we evaluate the performance of four neural network architectures on the dataset of the cervical spine MRI scans. Second, we use transfer learning from models trained on the Imagenet dataset and compare it to randomly initialized networks. Third, we evaluate models trained on the bias field corrected and raw MRI data. All code to reproduce results is publicly available online.
Despite the inception of new technologies at a breakneck pace, many analytics projects fail mainly due to the use of incompatible development methodologies. As big data analytics projects are different from software development projects, the methodologies used in software development projects could not be applied in the same fashion to analytics projects. The traditional agile project management approaches to the projects do not consider the complexities involved in the analytics. In this thesis, the challenges involved in generalizing the application of agile methodologies will be evaluated, and some suitable agile frameworks which are more compatible with the analytics project will be explored and recommended. The standard practices and approaches which are currently applied in the industry for analytics projects will be discussed concerning enablers and success factors for agile adaption. In the end, after the comprehensive discussion and analysis of the problem and complexities, a framework will be recommended that copes best with the discussed challenges and complexities and is generally well suited for the most data-intensive analytics projects.
Today you can find smartphones everywhere. This situation created a hype for Augmented Reality and AR Apps. The big question is: Do these applications provide a real added value? To make AR pratically it is important to add the computational power of a computer to the advantages of AR. An easy and fast way of interaction is essential.
A Poker-Assistance-Software is an ideal test area for an AR Application with real added value. The estimation of the winning probability and a fast automated tracking of the playing cards is the perfect field of investigation.
In this discussion it is interesting to evaluate the added value of AR Applications in common.
Particle swarm optimization is an optimization technique based on simulation of the social behavior of swarms.
The goal of this thesis is to solve 6DOF local pose estimation using a modified particle swarm technique introduced by Khan et al. in 2010. Local pose estimation is achieved by using continuous depth and color data from a RGB-D sensor. Datasets are aquired from different camera poses and registered into a common model. Accuracy and computation time of the implementation is compared to state of the art algorithms and evaluated in different configurations.
Unterschiedliche Quellen (Print-Medien, Fernsehberichte u. Ä.) berichten immer wieder davon, dass es mit der Datenschutzkompetenz bei Kindern und Jugendlichen schlecht bestellt ist. Daher ist dem Thema Datenschutz im Informatikunterricht eine besondere Bedeutung zuzuschreiben.
Im Rahmen der Dissertation von Herrn Hug wird ein Datenschutzkompetenzmodell [Quelle INFOS17] entwickelt, anhand dessen die Datenschutzkompetenz von Schülerinnen und Schülern im Altern von 10 bis 13 Jahren gemessen werden kann.
Im Rahmen dieser Masterarbeit werden existierende Unterrichtsmaterialien zum Thema Datenschutz gesammelt und dazu eine Unterrichtsreihe entwickelt. Hierbei werden auch eigene Zugänge aufzeigt, um ein kohärentes und abgeschlossenes Projekt zu entwerfen, bei dem aktuelle Gefahren für Schülerinnen und Schüler aufgezeigt werden. Ziel ist es, dass die Schülerinnen und Schüler dazu befähigt werden, ihr Verhalten bezüglich Datenschutz besser einzuschätzen und verantwortungsvoller mit ihren persönlichen Daten umzugehen. Im Rahmen eines Feldversuches in einer 6. Klasse eines Gymnasiums wurde die Unterrichtsreihe erprobt.
