Bei einer Online-Podiumsdiskussion sprechen Fachleute aus Wissenschaft, Medien und Politik über Fake News in Zeiten von Corona. Zuhörer sind willkommen; die Diskussion startet am Donnerstag, 30. Juli, um 15 Uhr.

Our paper "Integrating Keywords into BERT4Rec for Sequential Recommendation" (KeBERT4Rec) was recently accepted at the KI2020 conference. In our approach, we enrich the BERT4Rec architecture used for sequential recommendation with keywords as a way to incorporate information about the items. Our paper will be presented at the KI2020 and published in the proceedings.

Our paper “SimLoss: Class Similarities in Cross Entropy” was accepted for publication at ISMIS 2020.

Our paper "Improving Sentiment Analysis with Biofeedback Data" was recently published.

In this cooperative work between the Data Science chair and the chair of Human-Computer-Interaction, we present an approach of incorporating biofeedback features derived from heart rate and brain waves signals. The biofeedback data was recorded from “Humans-in-the-Loop” to improve machine learning models on the tasks of sentiment analysis and sentiment detection.

In our paper "OpenLUR: Off-the-shelf air pollution modeling with open features and machine learning" that was recently published at atmospheric environment we introduced OpenLUR, an easily and globally applicable land use regression framework for air pollution modelling.

Die Uni Würzburg ist ein zentraler Innovationsstandort für Data Science und Künstliche Intelligenz in Bayern. Einen Überblick über die aktuelle Forschung verschaffte sich nun Wissenschaftsminister Sibler vor Ort.
