  Bei der Konvertierung typographisch komplexer Textvorlagen in eine elektronische Form stellt die rein textuelle Erfassung, z. B. mittels Optical Character Recognition (OCR), häufig nur den ersten Bearbeitungsschritt dar. Um die logische Struktur solcher Texte zu erschließen, ist zudem eine präzise automatische Erkennung der enthaltenen typographischen Attribute nötig. Dieser Artikel stellt eine Methode vor, die durch Training einer frei verfügbaren Texterkennungssoftware eine feinkörnige Klassifikation typographischer Auszeichnungsmittel ermöglicht und die so gewonnenen semantischen Informationen auf das Ergebnis der textuellen Erkennung abbildet. Als Anwendungsbeispiel dient Daniel Sanders‘ Wörterbuch der Deutschen Sprache, in dem der Typographie eine besonders wichtige und komplexe semantische Funktion zukommt.

  This paper deals with the task of practical and open source Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR) on German medieval manuscripts. We report on our efforts to construct mixed recognition models which can be applied out-of-the-box without any further document-specific training but also serve as a starting point for finetuning by training a new model on a few pages of transcribed text (ground truth). To train the mixed models we collected a corpus of 35 manuscripts and ca. 12.5k text lines for two widely used handwriting styles, Gothic and Bastarda cursives. Evaluating the mixed models out-of-the-box on four unseen manuscripts resulted in an average Character Error Rate (CER) of 6.22%. After training on 2, 4 and eventually 32 pages the CER dropped to 3.27%, 2.58%, and 1.65%, respectively. While the in-domain recognition and training of models (Bastarda model to Bastarda material, Gothic to Gothic) unsurprisingly yielded the best results, finetuning out-of-domain models to unseen scripts was still shown to be superior to training from scratch. Our new mixed models have been made openly available to the community.

  Layered drawing of undirected graphs with generalized port constraints Zink, Johannes; Walter, Julian; Baumeister, Joachim; Wolff, Alexander in Computational Geometry: Theory and Applications (2022). 105-106 101886.
  • [ Abstract ]
  • [ BibTeX ]
  The aim of this research is a practical method to draw cable plans of complex machines. Such plans consist of electronic components and cables connecting specific ports of the components. Since the machines are configured for each client individually, cable plans need to be drawn automatically. The drawings must be well readable so that technicians can use them to debug the machines. In order to model plug sockets, we introduce port groups; within a group, ports can change their position (which we use to improve the aesthetics of the layout), but together the ports of a group must form a contiguous block. We approach the problem of drawing such cable plans by extending the well-known Sugiyama framework such that it incorporates ports and port groups. Since the framework assumes directed graphs, we propose several ways to orient the edges of the given undirected graph. We compare these methods experimentally, both on real-world data and synthetic data that carefully simulates real-world data. We measure the aesthetics of the resulting drawings by counting bends and crossings. Using these metrics, we experimentally compare our approach to Kieler JVLC 2014, a library for drawing graphs in the presence of port constraints. Our method produced 10--30 \% fewer crossings, while it performed equally well or slightly worse than Kieler with respect to the number of bends and the time used to compute a drawing.

  In order to leverage recent advances within the field of computer science for tasks ranging from full text search to various forms of quantitative analysis, an important desideratum in many areas of historical research is the availability of sources in the form of machine-actionable text. Here we present two complementary and free-to-use approaches, OCR-D and OCR4all. They deal with the conversion of scanned historical documents into such machine-actionable text and allow to tackle a variety of different use cases with diverse user requirements regarding both quantity and quality.

  Mixed Model OCR Training on Historical Latin Script for Out-of-the-Box Recognition and Finetuning Reul, Christian; Wick, Christoph; Nöth, Maximilian; Büttner, Andreas; Wehner, Maximilian; Springmann, Uwe in 6th International Workshop on Historical Document Imaging and Processing (2021).

  In order to apply Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to historical printings of Latin script fully automatically, we report on our efforts to construct a widely-applicable polyfont recognition model yielding text with a Character Error Rate (CER) around 2% when applied out-of-the-box. Moreover, we show how this model can be further finetuned to specific classes of printings with little manual and computational effort. The mixed or polyfont model is trained on a wide variety of materials, in terms of age (from the 15th to the 19th century), typography (various types of Fraktur and Antiqua), and languages (among others, German, Latin, and French). To optimize the results we combined established techniques of OCR training like pretraining, data augmentation, and voting. In addition, we used various preprocessing methods to enrich the training data and obtain more robust models. We also implemented a two-stage approach which first trains on all available, considerably unbalanced data and then refines the output by training on a selected more balanced subset. Evaluations on 29 previously unseen books resulted in a CER of 1.73%, outperforming a widely used standard model with a CER of 2.84% by almost 40%. Training a more specialized model for some unseen Early Modern Latin books starting from our mixed model led to a CER of 1.47%, an improvement of up to 50% compared to training from scratch and up to 30% compared to training from the aforementioned standard model. Our new mixed model is made openly available to the community.

  In this paper, we propose a novel method for Automatic Text Recognition (ATR) on early printed books. Our approach signi�cantly reduces the Character Error Rates (CERs) for book-speci�c training when only a few lines of Ground Truth (GT) are available and considerably outperforms previous methods. An ensemble of models is trained simultaneously by optimising each one independently but also with respect to a fused output obtained by averaging the individual con�dence matrices. Various experiments on �ve early printed books show that this approach already outperforms the current state-of-the-art by up to 20% and 10% on average. Replacing the averaging of the con�dence matrices during prediction with a con�dence-based voting boosts our results by an additional 8% leading to a total average improvement of about 17%.

  This paper presents a data set of German fairy tales, manually annotated with character networks which were obtained with high inter rater agreement. The release of this corpus provides an opportunity of training and comparing different algorithms for the extraction of character networks, which so far was barely possible due to heterogeneous interests of previous researchers. We demonstrate the usefulness of our data set by providing baseline experiments for the automatic extraction of character networks, applying a rule-based pipeline as well as a neural approach, and find the neural approach outperforming the rule-approach in most evaluation settings.

  The aim of this research is a practical method to draw cable plans of complex machines. Such plans consist of electronic components and cables connecting specific ports of the components. Since the machines are configured for each client individually, cable plans need to be drawn automatically. The drawings must be well readable so that technicians can use them to debug the machines. In order to model plug sockets, we introduce port groups; within a group, ports can change their position (which we use to improve the aesthetics of the layout), but together the ports of a group must form a contiguous block. We approach the problem of drawing such cable plans by extending the well-known Sugiyama framework such that it incorporates ports and port groups. Since the framework assumes directed graphs, we propose several ways to orient the edges of the given undirected graph. We compare these methods experimentally, both on real-world data and synthetic data that carefully simulates real-world data. We measure the aesthetics of the resulting drawings by counting bends and crossings. Using these metrics, we compare our approach to Kieler [JVLC 2014], a library for drawing graphs in the presence of port constraints.

  Calamari - A High-Performance Tensorflow-based Deep Learning Package for Optical Character Recognition Wick, Christoph; Reul, Christian; Puppe, Frank in Digital Humanities Quarterly (2020). 14(2)
  • [ Abstract ]
  • [ BibTeX ]
  • [ URL ]
  Optical Character Recognition (OCR) on contemporary and historical data is still in the focus of many researchers. Especially historical prints require book specific trained OCR models to achieve applicable results [Springmann and Lüdeling 2017] [Reul et al. 2017a]. To reduce the human effort for manually annotating ground truth (GT) various techniques such as voting and pretraining have shown to be very efficient [Reul et al. 2018a] [Reul et al. 2018b]. Calamari is a new open source OCR line recognition software that both uses state-of-the art Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) implemented in Tensorflow and giving native support for techniques such as pretraining and voting. The customizable network architectures constructed of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNS) and Long-Short-Term-Memory (LSTM) layers are trained by the so-called Connectionist Temporal Classification (CTC) algorithm of Graves et al. (2006). Optional usage of a GPU drastically reduces the computation times for both training and prediction. We use two different datasets to compare the performance of Calamari to OCRopy, OCRopus3, and Tesseract 4. Calamari reaches a Character Error Rate (CER) of 0.11% on the UW3 dataset written in modern English and 0.18% on the DTA19 dataset written in German Fraktur, which considerably outperforms the results of the existing softwares.

  OCR4all - An Open-Source Tool Providing a (Semi-)Automatic OCR Workflow for Historical Printings Reul, Christian; Christ, Dennis; Hartelt, Alexander; Balbach, Nico; Wehner, Maximilian; Springmann, Uwe; Wick, Christoph; Grundig, Christine; Büttner, Andreas; Puppe, Frank in Applied Sciences (2019). 9(22)

  Optical Character Recognition (OCR) on historical printings is a challenging task mainly due to the complexity of the layout and the highly variant typography. Nevertheless, in the last few years, great progress has been made in the area of historical OCR, resulting in several powerful open-source tools for preprocessing, layout analysis and segmentation, character recognition, and post-processing. The drawback of these tools often is their limited applicability by non-technical users like humanist scholars and in particular the combined use of several tools in a workflow. In this paper, we present an open-source OCR software called OCR4all, which combines state-of-the-art OCR components and continuous model training into a comprehensive workflow. While a variety of materials can already be processed fully automatically, books with more complex layouts require manual intervention by the users. This is mostly due to the fact that the required ground truth for training stronger mixed models (for segmentation, as well as text recognition) is not available, yet, neither in the desired quantity nor quality. To deal with this issue in the short run, OCR4all offers a comfortable GUI that allows error corrections not only in the final output, but already in early stages to minimize error propagations. In the long run, this constant manual correction produces large quantities of valuable, high quality training material, which can be used to improve fully automatic approaches. Further on, extensive configuration capabilities are provided to set the degree of automation of the workflow and to make adaptations to the carefully selected default parameters for specific printings, if necessary. During experiments, the fully automated application on 19th Century novels showed that OCR4all can considerably outperform the commercial state-of-the-art tool ABBYY Finereader on moderate layouts if suitably pretrained mixed OCR models are available. Furthermore, on very complex early printed books, even users with minimal or no experience were able to capture the text with manageable effort and great quality, achieving excellent Character Error Rates (CERs) below 0.5%. The architecture of OCR4all allows the easy integration (or substitution) of newly developed tools for its main components by standardized interfaces like PageXML, thus aiming at continual higher automation for historical printings.

  In this paper we evaluate Optical Character Recognition (OCR) of 19th century Fraktur scripts without book-specific training using mixed models, i.e. models trained to recognize a variety of fonts and typesets from previously unseen sources. We describe the training process leading to strong mixed OCR models and compare them to freely available models of the popular open source engines OCRopus and Tesseract as well as the commercial state of the art system ABBYY. For evaluation, we use a varied collection of unseen data from books, journals, and a dictionary from the 19th century. The experiments show that training mixed models with real data is superior to training with synthetic data and that the novel OCR engine Calamari outperforms the other engines considerably, on average reducing ABBYYs character error rate (CER) by over 70%, resulting in an average CER below 1%.

  Automatic Semantic Text Tagging on Historical Lexica by Combining OCR and Typography Classification Reul, Christian; Göttel, Sebastian; Springmann, Uwe; Wick, Christoph; Würzner, Kay-Michael; Puppe, Frank in Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Digital Access to Textual Cultural Heritage (2019).
  • [ Abstract ]
  • [ BibTeX ]
  When converting historical lexica into electronic form the goal is not only to obtain a high quality OCR result for the text but also to perform a precise automatic recognition of typographical attributes in order to capture the logical structure. For that purpose, we present a method that enables a fine-grained typography classification by training an open source OCR engine both on traditional OCR and typography recognition and show how to map the obtained typography information to the OCR recognized text output. As a test case, we used a German dictionary (Sander's "Wörterbuch der Deutschen Sprache") from the 19th century, which comprises a particularly complex semantic function of typography. Despite the very challenging material, we achieved a character error rate below 0.4% and a typography recognition that assigns the correct label to close to 99% of the words. In contrast to many existing methods, our novel approach works with real historical data and can deal with frequent typography changes even within lines.

Experiments showed that users with minimal or no experience were able to capture the text of even the earliest printed books with manageable effort and great quality, achieving excellent character error rates (CERs) below 0.5%. The fully automated application on 19th century novels showed that OCR4all can considerably outperform the commercial state-of-the-art tool ABBYY Finereader on moderate layouts if suitably pretrained mixed OCR models are available. The architecture of OCR4all allows the easy integration (or substitution) of newly developed tools for its main components by standardized interfaces like PageXML, thus aiming at continual higher automation for historical printings.}, author = {Reul, Christian and Christ, Dennis and Hartelt, Alexander and Balbach, Nico and Wehner, Maximilian and Springmann, Uwe and Wick, Christoph and Grundig, Christine and Büttner, Andreas and Puppe, Frank}, journal = {ArXiv Preprints (submitted to MDPI - Applied Sciences)}, keywords = {myown}, title = {OCR4all - An Open-Source Tool Providing a (Semi-)Automatic OCR Workflow for Historical Printings}, year = 2019 }

  In this paper we evaluate Optical Character Recognition (OCR) of 19th century Fraktur scripts without book-specific training using mixed models, i.e. models trained to recognize a variety of fonts and typesets from previously unseen sources. We describe the training process leading to strong mixed OCR models and compare them to freely available models of the popular open source engines OCRopus and Tesseract as well as the commercial state of the art system ABBYY. For evaluation, we use a varied collection of unseen data from books, journals, and a dictionary from the 19th century. The experiments show that training mixed models with real data is superior to training with synthetic data and that the novel OCR engine Calamari outperforms the other engines considerably, on average reducing ABBYYs character error rate (CER) by over 70%, resulting in an average CER below 1%.

  In this paper we describe a dataset of German and Latin ground truth (GT) for historical OCR in the form of printed text line images paired with their transcription. This dataset, called GT4HistOCR, consists of 313,173 line pairs covering a wide period of printing dates from incunabula from the 15th century to 19th century books printed in Fraktur types and is openly available under a CC-BY ⒋0 license. The special form of GT as line image/transcription pairs makes it directly usable to train state-of-the-art recognition models for OCR software employing recurring neural networks in LSTM architecture such as Tesseract 4 or OCRopus. We also provide some pretrained OCRopus models for subcorpora of our dataset yielding between 95% (early printings) and 98% (19th century Fraktur printings) character accuracy rates on unseen test cases, a Perl script to harmonize GT produced by different transcription rules, and give hints on how to construct GT for OCR purposes which has requirements that may differ from linguistically motivated transcriptions.

  Automatic Semantic Text Tagging on Historical Lexica by Combining OCR and Typography Classification Reul, Christian; Göttel, Sebastian; Springmann, Uwe; Wick, Christoph; Würzner, Kay-Michael; Puppe, Frank in Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Digital Access to Textual Cultural Heritage (2019).

  When converting historical lexica into electronic form the goal is not only to obtain a high quality OCR result for the text but also to perform a precise automatic recognition of typographical attributes in order to capture the logical structure. For that purpose, we present a method that enables a fine-grained typography classification by training an open source OCR engine both on traditional OCR and typography recognition and show how to map the obtained typography information to the OCR recognized text output. As a test case, we used a German dictionary (Sander's "Wörterbuch der Deutschen Sprache") from the 19th century, which comprises a particularly complex semantic function of typography. Despite the very challenging material, we achieved a character error rate below 0.4% and a typography recognition that assigns the correct label to close to 99% of the words. In contrast to many existing methods, our novel approach works with real historical data and can deal with frequent typography changes even within lines.

  Staff, Symbol and Melody Detection of Medieval Manuscripts Written in Square Notation Using Deep Fully Convolutional Networks Wick, Christoph; Hartelt, Alexander; Puppe, Frank in Applied Sciences (2019). 9(13)
  • [ Abstract ]
  • [ BibTeX ]
  • [ URL ]
  Even today, the automatic digitisation of scanned documents in general, but especially the automatic optical music recognition (OMR) of historical manuscripts, still remains an enormous challenge, since both handwritten musical symbols and text have to be identified. This paper focuses on the Medieval so-called square notation developed in the 11th–12th century, which is already composed of staff lines, staves, clefs, accidentals, and neumes that are roughly spoken connected single notes. The aim is to develop an algorithm that captures both the neumes, and in particular its melody, which can be used to reconstruct the original writing. Our pipeline is similar to the standard OMR approach and comprises a novel staff line and symbol detection algorithm based on deep Fully Convolutional Networks (FCN), which perform pixel-based predictions for either staff lines or symbols and their respective types. Then, the staff line detection combines the extracted lines to staves and yields an F 1 -score of over 99% for both detecting lines and complete staves. For the music symbol detection, we choose a novel approach that skips the step to identify neumes and instead directly predicts note components (NCs) and their respective affiliation to a neume. Furthermore, the algorithm detects clefs and accidentals. Our algorithm predicts the symbol sequence of a staff with a diplomatic symbol accuracy rate (dSAR) of about 87%, which includes symbol type and location. If only the NCs without their respective connection to a neume, all clefs and accidentals are of interest, the algorithm reaches an harmonic symbol accuracy rate (hSAR) of approximately 90%. In general, the algorithm recognises a symbol in the manuscript with an F 1 -score of over 96%.

  This paper proposes a combination of a convolutional and an LSTM network to improve the accuracy of OCR on early printed books. While the default approach of line based OCR is to use a single LSTM layer as provided by the well-established OCR software OCRopus (OCRopy), we utilize a CNN- and Pooling-Layer combination in advance of an LSTM layer as implemented by the novel OCR software Calamari. Since historical prints often require book specific models trained on manually labeled ground truth (GT) the goal is to maximize the recognition accuracy of a trained model while keeping the needed manual effort to a minimum. We show, that the deep model significantly outperforms the shallow LSTM network when using both many and only a few training examples, although the deep network has a higher amount of trainable parameters. Hereby, the error rate is reduced by a factor of up to 55%, yielding character error rates (CER) of 1% and below for 1,000 lines of training. To further improve the results, we apply a confidence voting mechanism to achieve CERs below 0.5%. A simple data augmentation scheme and the usage of pretrained models reduces the CER further by up to 62% if only few training data is available. Thus, we require only 100 lines of GT to reach an average CER of 1.2%. The runtime of the deep model for training and prediction of a book behaves very similar to a shallow network when trained on a CPU. However, the usage of a GPU, as supported by Calamari, reduces the prediction time by a factor of at least four and the training time by more than six.

  In this paper we introduce a method that significantly reduces the character error rates for OCR text obtained from OCRopus models trained on early printed books. The method uses a combination of cross fold training and confidence based voting. After allocating the available ground truth in different subsets several training processes are performed, each resulting in a specific OCR model. The OCR text generated by these models then gets voted to determine the final output by taking the recognized characters, their alternatives, and the confidence values assigned to each character into consideration. Experiments on seven early printed books show that the proposed method outperforms the standard approach considerably by reducing the amount of errors by up to 50% and more.

  Improving OCR Accuracy on Early Printed Books by combining Pretraining, Voting, and Active Learning Reul, Christian; Springmann, Uwe; Wick, Christoph; Puppe, Frank in JLCL: Special Issue on Automatic Text and Layout Recognition (2018). 33(1) 3–24.

  We combine three methods which significantly improve the OCR accuracy of OCR models trained on early printed books: (1) The pretraining method utilizes the information stored in already existing models trained on a variety of typesets (mixed models) instead of starting the training from scratch. (2) Performing cross fold training on a single set of ground truth data (line images and their transcriptions) with a single OCR engine (OCRopus) produces a committee whose members then vote for the best outcome by also taking the top-N alternatives and their intrinsic confidence values into account. (3) Following the principle of maximal disagreement we select additional training lines which the voters disagree most on, expecting them to offer the highest information gain for a subsequent training (active learning). Evaluations on six early printed books yielded the following results: On average the combination of pretraining and voting improved the character accuracy by 46% when training five folds starting from the same mixed model. This number rose to 53% when using different models for pretraining, underlining the importance of diverse voters. Incorporating active learning improved the obtained results by another 16% on average (evaluated on three of the six books). Overall, the proposed methods lead to an average error rate of 2.5% when training on only 60 lines. Using a substantial ground truth pool of 1,000 lines brought the error rate down even further to less than 1% on average.

  A method is presented that significantly reduces the character error rates for OCR text obtained from OCRopus models trained on early printed books when only small amounts of diplomatic transcriptions are available. This is achieved by building from already existing models during training instead of starting from scratch. To overcome the discrepancies between the set of characters of the pretrained model and the additional ground truth the OCRopus code is adapted to allow for alphabet expansion or reduction. The character set is now capable of flexibly adding and deleting characters from the pretrained alphabet when an existing model is loaded. For our experiments we use a self-trained mixed model on early Latin prints and the two standard OCRopus models on modern English and German Fraktur texts. The evaluation on seven early printed books showed that training from the Latin mixed model reduces the average amount of errors by 43% and 26%, respectively compared to training from scratch with 60 and 150 lines of ground truth, respectively. Furthermore, it is shown that even building from mixed models trained on data unrelated to the newly added training and test data can lead to significantly improved recognition results.

  • [ URL ]
  Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have become popular especially in computer vision in the last few years because they achieved outstanding performance on different tasks, such as image classifications. We propose a nine-layer CNN for leaf identification using the famous Flavia and Foliage datasets. Usually the supervised learning of deep CNNs requires huge datasets for training. However, the used datasets contain only a few examples per plant species. Therefore, we apply data augmentation and transfer learning to prevent our network from overfitting. The trained CNNs achieve recognition rates above 99% on the Flavia and Foliage datasets, and slightly outperform current methods for leaf classification.

  Improving OCR Accuracy on Early Printed Books by utilizing Cross Fold Training and Voting Reul, Christian; Springmann, Uwe; Wick, Christoph; Puppe, Frank (2017).
  • [ Abstract ]
  • [ BibTeX ]
  • [ URL ]
  In this paper we introduce a method that significantly reduces the character error rates for OCR text obtained from OCRopus models trained on early printed books. The method uses a combination of cross fold training and confidence based voting. After allocating the available ground truth in different subsets several training processes are performed, each resulting in a specific OCR model. The OCR text generated by these models then gets voted to determine the final output by taking the recognized characters, their alternatives, and the confidence values assigned to each character into consideration. Experiments on seven early printed books show that the proposed method outperforms the standard approach considerably by reducing the amount of errors by up to 50% and more.

  Fully Convolutional Neural Networks for Page Segmentation of Historical Document Images Wick, Christoph; Puppe, Frank (2017).
  • [ Abstract ]
  • [ BibTeX ]
  • [ URL ]
  We propose a high-performance fully convolutional neural network (FCN) for historical handwritten document segmentation that is designed to process a single page in one step. The advantage of this model beside its speed is its ability to directly learn from raw pixels instead of using preprocessing steps e. g. feature computation or superpixel generation. We show that this network yields better results than existing methods on different public data sets. For evaluation of this model we introduce a novel metric that is independent of ambiguous ground truth called Foreground Pixel Accuracy (FgPA). This pixel based measure only counts foreground pixels in the binarized page, any background pixel is omitted. The major advantage of this metric is, that it enables researchers to compare different segmentation methods on their ability to successfully segment text or pictures and not on their ability to learn and possibly overfit the peculiarities of an ambiguous hand-made ground truth segmentation.

  Case Study of a highly automated Layout Analysis and OCR of an incunabulum: ‘Der Heiligen Leben’ (1488) Reul, Christian; Dittrich, Marco; Gruner, Martin in Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Digital Access to Textual Cultural Heritage (2017).
  • [ Abstract ]
  • [ BibTeX ]
  • [ URL ]
  This paper provides the first thorough documentation of a high quality digitization process applied to an early printed book from the incunabulum period (1450-1500). The entire OCR related workflow including preprocessing, layout analysis and text recognition is illustrated in detail using the example of ‘Der Heiligen Leben’, printed in Nuremberg in 1488. For each step the required time expenditure was recorded. The character recognition yielded excellent results both on character (97.57%) and word (92.19%) level. Furthermore, a comparison of a highly automated (LAREX) and a manual (Aletheia) method for layout analysis was performed. By considerably automating the segmentation the required human effort was reduced significantly from over 100 hours to less than six hours, resulting in only a slight drop in OCR accuracy. Realistic estimates for the human effort necessary for full text extraction from incunabula can be derived from this study. The printed pages of the complete work together with the OCR result is available online 1 ready to be inspected and downloaded.

  Learning Semantic Relatedness From Human Feedback Using Metric Learning Niebler, Thomas; Becker, Martin; Pölitz, Christian; Hotho, Andreas in arXiv preprint arXiv:1705.07425 (2017).

  Assessing the degree of semantic relatedness between words is an important task with a variety of semantic applications, such as ontology learning for the Semantic Web, semantic search or query expansion. To accomplish this in an automated fashion, many relatedness measures have been proposed. However, most of these metrics only encode information contained in the underlying corpus and thus do not directly model human intuition. To solve this, we propose to utilize a metric learning approach to improve existing semantic relatedness measures by learning from additional information, such as explicit human feedback. For this, we argue to use word embeddings instead of traditional high-dimensional vector representations in order to leverage their semantic density and to reduce computational cost. We rigorously test our approach on several domains including tagging data as well as publicly available embeddings based on Wikipedia texts and navigation. Human feedback about semantic relatedness for learning and evaluation is extracted from publicly available datasets such as MEN or WS-353. We find that our method can significantly improve semantic relatedness measures by learning from additional information, such as explicit human feedback. For tagging data, we are the first to generate and study embeddings. Our results are of special interest for ontology and recommendation engineers, but also for any other researchers and practitioners of Semantic Web techniques.

  We introduce a dynamically adapting tuning scheme for microtonal tuning of musical instruments, allowing the performer to play music in just intonation in any key. Unlike previous methods, which are based on a procedural analysis of the chordal structure, the suggested tuning scheme continually solves a system of linear equations without making explicit decisions. In complex situations, where not all intervals of a chord can be tuned according to just frequency ratios, the method automatically yields a tempered compromise. We outline the implementation of the algorithm in an open-source software project that we have provided in order to demonstrate the feasibility of the tuning method.

  Transfer Learning for OCRopus Model Training on Early Printed Books Reul, Christian; Wick, Christoph; Springmann, Uwe; Puppe, Frank in 027.7 Journal for Library Culture (2017).
  • [ Abstract ]
  • [ BibTeX ]
  • [ URL ]
  A method is presented that significantly reduces the character error rates for OCR text obtained from OCRopus models trained on early printed books when only small amounts of diplomatic transcriptions are available. This is achieved by building from already existing models during training instead of starting from scratch. To overcome the discrepancies between the set of characters of the pretrained model and the additional ground truth the OCRopus code is adapted to allow for alphabet expansion or reduction. The character set is now capable of flexibly adding and deleting characters from the pretrained alphabet when an existing model is loaded. For our experiments we use a self-trained mixed model on early Latin prints and the two standard OCRopus models on modern English and German Fraktur texts. The evaluation on seven early printed books showed that training from the Latin mixed model reduces the average amount of errors by 43% and 26%, compared to training from scratch with 60 and 150 lines of ground truth, respectively. Furthermore, it is shown that even building from mixed models trained on standard data unrelated to the newly added training and test data can lead to significantly improved recognition results.

  Social tagging systems have established themselves as a quick and easy way to organize information by annotating resources with tags. In recent work, user behavior in social tagging systems was studied, that is, how users assign tags, and consume content. However, it is still unclear how users make use of the navigation options they are given. Understanding their behavior and differences in behavior of different user groups is an important step towards assessing the effectiveness of a navigational concept and of improving it to better suit the users’ needs. In this work, we investigate navigation trails in the popular scholarly social tagging system BibSonomy from six years of log data. We discuss dynamic browsing behavior of the general user population and show that different navigational subgroups exhibit different navigational traits. Furthermore, we provide strong evidence that the semantic nature of the underlying folksonomy is an essential factor for explaining navigation.

  Semantic relatedness between words has been extracted from a variety of sources.In this ongoing work, we explore and compare several options for determining if semantic relatedness can be extracted from navigation structures in Wikipedia. In that direction, we first investigate the potential of representation learning techniques such as DeepWalk in comparison to previously applied methods based on counting co-occurrences. Since both methods are based on (random) paths in the network, we also study different approaches to generate paths from Wikipedia link structure. For this task, we do not only consider the link structure of Wikipedia, but also actual navigation behavior of users. Finally, we analyze if semantics can also be extracted from smaller subsets of the Wikipedia link network. As a result we find that representation learning techniques mostly outperform the investigated co-occurrence counting methods on the Wikipedia network. However, we find that this is not the case for paths sampled from human navigation behavior.

  Semantic relatedness between words has been successfully extracted from navigation on Wikipedia pages. However, the navigational data used in the corresponding works are sparse and expected to be biased since they have been collected in the context of games. In this paper, we raise this limitation and explore if semantic relatedness can also be extracted from unconstrained navigation. To this end, we first highlight structural differences between unconstrained navigation and game data. Then, we adapt a state of the art approach to extract semantic relatedness on Wikipedia paths. We apply this approach to transitions derived from two unconstrained navigation datasets as well as transitions from WikiGame and compare the results based on two common gold standards. We confirm expected structural differences when comparing unconstrained navigation with the paths collected by WikiGame. In line with this result, the mentioned state of the art approach for semantic extraction on navigation data does not yield good results for unconstrained navigation. Yet, we are able to derive a relatedness measure that performs well on both unconstrained navigation data as well as game data. Overall, we show that unconstrained navigation data on Wikipedia is suited for extracting semantics.

  We assessed the prevalence of moderately severe or severe mitral regurgitation (MR) justifying edge-to-edge mitral valve (MV) repair (MitraClip(®)) in patients attending the University Hospital Wuerzburg, a tertiary care centre located in Wuerzburg, Germany.Transcatheter edge-to-edge MV repair of advanced MR is a non-surgical treatment option in inoperable and high-risk patients. It is unknown how many patients are potentially eligible for MitraClip(®) since several anatomical prerequisites of the MV apparatus have to be met for optimal treatment results.Using a novel clinical data warehouse we searched for all patients attached to our Department of Internal Medicine from 01/2008 to 01/2012 with moderately severe or severe MR and aged ≥18 years. The current status of their treatment regime and eligibility for MitraClip(®) was assessed and re-evaluated according to current guidelines and echocardiographic criteria.The search of electronic medical records amongst 43,690 patients employed an innovative validated text extraction method and identified 331 patients with moderately severe or severe MR who had undergone echocardiographic assessment at our institution. Of these, 125 (38 %) received MV surgery and 206 (62 %) medical therapy only. Most patients not undergoing surgery had secondary MR (70 %). After evaluation of medical and echocardiographic data of medically treated patients (n = 206), 81 (39 %) were potential candidates for MitraClip(®) therapy, and 90 (44 %) died during the median follow-up time of 23 months.A large fraction of patients with moderately severe or severe MR but not operated was detected. Medically treated patients had a bad prognosis and about 40 % of them were potential candidates for MitraClip(®) therapy.

  In this study an expectation-driven approach is proposed to extract data stored as pixel structures in medical ultrasound images. Prior knowledge about certain properties like the position of the text and its background and foreground grayscale values is utilized. Several open source Java libraries are used to pre-process the image and extract the textual information. The results are presented in an Excel table together with the outcome of several consistency checks. After manually correcting potential errors, the outcome is automatically stored in the main database. The proposed system yielded excellent results, reaching an accuracy of 99.94% and reducing the necessary human effort to a minimum.

  • [ Abstract ]
  • [ BibTeX ]
  • [ URL ]
  This chapter describes and evaluates the design and implementation of a new fully autonomous quadrocopter, which is capable of self-reliant search, count and localization of a predefined object on the ground inside a room. In a preliminary calibration scan the parameters of the object are defined: As an example object a red ball is used. The scan determines the colour and radius of the ball. The implementation and principles of the object recognition and search will be described in detail. After determining the scanning parameters, the autonomous search can be executed. This is done autonomously by the quadrocopter, which uses inertial, infrared, ultrasonic, pressure sensors and an optical flow sensor to determine and control its orientation and position in 6 DOF (degree of freedom). Furthermore the quadrocopter can be equipped with sensors for obstacle detection and collision avoidance such as ultrasonic, infrared, pmd (photo mixing device) and sv (stereo vision) cameras. A camera attached to the quadrocopter and directed at the ground is used to find the searched objects and to determine its positions during the autonomous flight. Hence, objects which fulfil the scanning parameters can be found in different positions. Based on its own known position and the position of the object in the picture of the camera, the position of the detected objects can be determined. Thus repeated detections of objects can be excluded. Consequently, objects can be counted and localized autonomously. The position of the object is transferred to the ground station and compared with the true position to evaluate the system. Two different search situations and two different strategies, breadth first search (BFS) and depth first search (DFS), are investigated and their results are compared. The evaluation shows the potential, constraints and drawbacks of this approach just as the effect of the search strategy, and the most important parameters and indicators such as field of view, masking area and minimal object distance as well as accuracy, performance and completeness of the search. The entire system is composed of low-cost components and constructed from scratch. Its integration in the innovative real-time operating system Rodos developed by the German Aerospace Centre is described in detail. Rodos has been developed for embedded systems such as satellites and comparable aerospace systems.

  Cross Dataset Evaluation of Feature Extraction Techniques for Leaf Classification Reul, Christian; Toepfer, Martin; Puppe, Frank in International Journal of Artificial Intelligence & Applications (2016).
  • [ Abstract ]
  • [ BibTeX ]
  • [ URL ]
  In this work feature extraction techniques for leaf classification are evaluated in a cross dataset scenario. First, a leaf identification system consisting of six feature classes is described and tested on five established publicly available datasets by using standard evaluation procedures within the datasets. Afterwards, the performance of the developed system is evaluated in the much more challenging scenario of cross dataset evaluation. Finally, a new dataset is introduced as well as a web service, which allows to identify leaves both photographed on paper and when still attached to the tree. While the results obtained during classification within a dataset come close to the state of the art, the classification accuracy in cross dataset evaluation is significantly worse. However, by adjusting the system and taking the top five predictions into consideration very good results of up to 98% are achieved. It is shown that this difference is down to the ineffectiveness of certain feature classes as well as the increased severity of the task as leaves that grew under different environmental influences can differ significantly not only in colour, but also in shape.

  To protect the health of human and environment, the European Union implemented the REACH regulation for chemical substances. REACH is an acronym for Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals. Under REACH, the authorities have the task of assessing chemical substances, especially those that might pose a risk to human health or environment. The work under REACH is scientifically, technically and procedurally a complex and knowledge-intensive task that is jointly performed by the European Chemicals Agency and member state authorities in Europe. The assessment of substances under REACH conducted in the German Environment Agency is supported by the knowledge-based system KnowSEC, which is used for the screening, documentation, and decision support when working on chemical substances. The software KnowSEC integrates advanced semantic technologies and strong problem solving methods. It allows for the collaborative work on substances in the context of the European REACH regulation. We discuss the applied methods and process models and we report on experiences with the implementation and use of the system.

  Social tagging systems have established themselves as an important part in today’s web and have attracted the interest of our research community in a variety of investigations. Henceforth, several aspects of social tagging systems have been discussed and assumptions have emerged on which our community builds their work. Yet, testing such assumptions has been difficult due to the absence of suitable usage data in the past. In this work, we thoroughly investigate and evaluate four aspects about tagging systems, covering social interaction, retrieval of posted resources, the importance of the three different types of entities, users, resources, and tags, as well as connections between these entities’ popularity in posted and in requested content. For that purpose, we examine live server log data gathered from the real-world, public social tagging system BibSonomy. Our empirical results paint a mixed picture about the four aspects. While for some, typical assumptions hold to a certain extent, other aspects need to be reflected in a very critical light. Our observations have implications for the understanding of social tagging systems, and the way they are used on the web. We make the dataset used in this work available to other researchers.

  Subgroup discovery is a key data mining method that aims at identifying descriptions of subsets of the data that show an interesting distribution with respect to a pre-defined target concept. For practical applications the integration of numerical data is crucial. Therefore, a wide variety of interestingness measures has been proposed in literature that use a numerical attribute as the target concept. However, efficient mining in this setting is still an open issue. In this paper, we present novel techniques for fast exhaustive subgroup discovery with a numerical target concept. We initially survey previously proposed measures in this setting. Then, we explore options for pruning the search space using optimistic estimate bounds. Specifically, we introduce novel bounds in closed form and ordering-based bounds as a new technique to derive estimates for several types of interestingness measures with no previously known bounds. In addition, we investigate efficient data structures, namely adapted FP-trees and bitset-based data representations, and discuss their interdependencies to interestingness measures and pruning schemes. The presented techniques are incorporated into two novel algorithms. Finally, the benefits of the proposed pruning bounds and algorithms are assessed and compared in an extensive experimental evaluation on 24 publicly available datasets. The novel algorithms reduce runtimes consistently by more than one order of magnitude.

  Understanding the way people move through urban areas represents an important problem that has implications for a range of societal challenges such as city planning, public transportation, or crime analysis. In this paper, we present an interactive visualization tool called VizTrails for exploring and understanding such human movement. It features visualizations that show aggregated statistics of trails for geographic areas that correspond to grid cells on a map, e.g., on the number of users passing through or on cells commonly visited next. Amongst other features, system allows to overlay the map with the results of SPARQL queries in order to relate the observed trajectory statistics with its geo-spatial context, e.g., considering a city's points of interest. The systems functionality is demonstrated using trajectory examples extracted from the social photo sharing platform Flickr. Overall, VizTrails facilitates deeper insights into geo-spatial trajectory data by enabling interactive exploration of aggregated statistics and providing geo-spatial context.

  A distance measure between objects is a key requirement for many data mining tasks like clustering, classification or outlier detection. However, for objects characterized by categorical attributes, defining meaningful distance measures is a challenging task since the values within such attributes have no inherent order, especially without additional domain knowledge. In this paper, we propose an unsupervised distance measure for objects with categorical attributes based on the idea that categorical attribute values are similar if they appear with similar value distributions on correlated context attributes. Thus, the distance measure is automatically derived from the given data set. We compare our new distance measure to existing categorical distance measures and evaluate on different data sets from the UCI machine-learning repository. The experiments show that our distance measure is recommendable, since it achieves similar or better results in a more robust way than previous approaches.

  • [ BibTeX ]
  • [ URL ]
  The temporal evolution of the entanglement between two qubits evolving by random interactions is studied analytically and numerically. Two different types of randomness are investigated. Firstly we analyze an ensemble of systems with randomly chosen but time-independent interaction Hamiltonians. Secondly we consider the case of a temporally fluctuating Hamiltonian, where the unitary evolution can be understood as a random walk on the SU (4) group manifold. As a by-product we compute the metric tensor and its inverse as well as the Laplace-Beltrami for SU (4).

  Social tagging systems have established themselves as an important part in today's web and have attracted the interest from our research community in a variety of investigations. The overall vision of our community is that simply through interactions with the system, i.e., through tagging and sharing of resources, users would contribute to building useful semantic structures as well as resource indexes using uncontrolled vocabulary not only due to the easy-to-use mechanics. Henceforth, a variety of assumptions about social tagging systems have emerged, yet testing them has been difficult due to the absence of suitable data. In this work we thoroughly investigate three available assumptions - e.g., is a tagging system really social? - by examining live log data gathered from the real-world public social tagging system BibSonomy. Our empirical results indicate that while some of these assumptions hold to a certain extent, other assumptions need to be reflected and viewed in a very critical light. Our observations have implications for the design of future search and other algorithms to better reflect the actual user behavior.

  Computing Semantic Relatedness from Human Navigational Paths: A Case Study on Wikipedia Singer, Philipp; Niebler, Thomas; Strohmaier, Markus; Hotho, Andreas in IJSWIS (2013). 9(4) 41–70.

  In this article, the authors present a novel approach for computing semantic relatedness and conduct a large-scale study of it on Wikipedia. Unlike existing semantic analysis methods that utilize Wikipedia’s content or link structure, the authors propose to use human navigational paths on Wikipedia for this task. The authors obtain 1.8 million human navigational paths from a semi-controlled navigation experiment – a Wikipedia-based navigation game, in which users are required to find short paths between two articles in a given Wikipedia article network. The authors’ results are intriguing: They suggest that (i) semantic relatedness computed from human navigational paths may be more precise than semantic relatedness computed from Wikipedia’s plain link structure alone and (ii) that not all navigational paths are equally useful. Intelligent selection based on path characteristics can improve accuracy. The authors’ work makes an argument for expanding the existing arsenal of data sources for calculating semantic relatedness and to consider the utility of human navigational paths for this task.

  ADIA: A Novel Onboard Failure Diagnostic System for Nanosatellites Fellinger, Gerhard; Dietrich, Georg; Fette, Georg; Kayal, Hakan; Puppe, Frank; Schneider, Volker; Wojtkowiak, Harald in 64th International Astronautical Congress (2013). (Vol. 4, 3)

  Spacecraft failure analysis is often a time-consuming process which requires increased attention from ground personnel. Since operations expenditures represent a major part of overall satellite mission cost, efficient assignment of resources, especially when it comes to as weighty a cost factor as manpower, is critical. This is especially true for small-scale satellites which are often operated by research groups with limited means. Also, ground-based error source isolation by operators implies that due to limited contact windows, real-time diagnosis is usually out of the question, hence losing valuable time when quick reactions to critical failures are necessary. Moreover, the onset of failures looming for several days or weeks cannot be easily predicted by human operators who are by and large not good at trend-analyzing large amounts of data, especially if mutually interdependent time series are involved. Thus, the capability to analyze errors in real-time onboard a satellite is desirable as it can help cut costs and reduce mission failure risk. In order to provide such capabilities, the development of a new autonomous failure diagnostic system called ADIA (Autonomous Diagnostic System for Satellites) has started at the University of Würzburg which is funded through the German Aerospace Center (FKZ 50RM1231) by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology (BMWi). The goal is to develop an onboard diagnostic software which is capable of detecting errors, isolating them with respect to their cause as well as trend analysis of spacecraft telemetry data for the prediction of future subsystem malfunctions. The system consists of two functionally intertwined components. One is a set of diagnostic algorithms with an interface to the satellite’s TTC system. The second is a satellite simulator software which has two functions: on the one hand, it serves as a “telemetry generator” in the context of ADIA’s development process, providing the diagnostic core with raw data during system testing and fine-tuning. On the other hand, the simulator can itself be integrated into the diagnostic component, thus making ADIA a model-based analysis tool. Internal states of the simulator can be compared with the state of the actual satellite in order to derive hypotheses on the nature of an emerging error. The focus of this paper lies on the discussion of ADIA’s requirements, the basic functional concept as well as the workings of the diagnostic core. Additionally, a brief discussion of the nanosatellite to be modeled as part of the development process is included.

That way, users demand not only for the collaborative development of such systems, but also for the collaborative and episodic use in decision processes. Moreover, in complex decision domains multiple knowledge representations are available that need to be jointly processed. In this paper we introduce a novel approach and a system implementation that aims to meet these requirements.

  Conditional Random Fields (CRF) are popular methods for labeling unstructured or textual data. Like many machine learning approaches, these undirected graphical models assume the instances to be independently distributed. However, in real-world applications data is grouped in a natural way, e.g., by its creation context. The instances in each group often share additional structural consistencies. This paper proposes a domain-independent method for exploiting these consistencies by combining two CRFs in a stacked learning framework. We apply rule learning collectively on the predictions of an initial CRF for one context to acquire descriptions of its specific properties. Then, we utilize these descriptions as dynamic and high quality features in an additional (stacked) CRF. The presented approach is evaluated with a real-world dataset for the segmentation of references and achieves a significant reduction of the labeling error.

  In the domain of engineering large corpora of technical documents are commonly created and used. Applications such as semantic search offer advantages in accessing those documents, but require them to be semantically annotated. Annotating these corpora manually is in most cases not feasible. In recent years a lot of machine learning methods have proved their ability to annotate documents automatically. The down-side of these methods is their need for training data. We present a holistic approach for the semantification of technical documents without training data. The approach tackles different challenges such as terminology extraction, semantic annotation, and reviewing.

  • [ BibTeX ]
  The development of knowledge systems has been driven by changing approaches, starting with special purpose languages in the 1960s that evolved later to dedicated editors and environments. Nowadays, tools for the collaborative creation and maintenance of knowledge became attractive. Such tools allow for the work on knowledge even for distributed panels of experts and for knowledge at different formalization levels.The paper (tool presentation) introduces the semantic wiki KnowWE, a collaborative platform for the acquisition and use of different types of knowledge, ranging from semantically annotated text to strong problem-solving knowledge. We also report on some current use cases of KnowWE.
