Projects

Produktivitätssteigerung durch komponentenbasierte Dienstleistungen (KoProServ, 2010)

• General Information: http://koproserv.uni-leipzig.de/
• I work on the creation of a prototype that allows the user to compose and configure a service from different smaller servicecomponents and automatically provide productivity characteristics.
• The prototype can be found at http://europa.informatik.uni-leipzig.de/ServiceModeller

Domain Specific Corpora (DISCO – in preparation)

• General information: This projects aims at satisfy the need for domain-specific corpora of certain fields of research like linguistics and natural language processing.
• The corpus shall be extracted automatically or semi-automatically from the articles of Wikipedia. To identify articles that belong to a certain domain, we calculate the similarity of categories and create a graph from this similarities. This graph is clustered by using the Border-Flow graph clustering algorithm. All articles that belong to categories that are contained in the resulting cluster form the domain-specific corpus.
• Prototype: http://disco.informatik.uni-leipzig.de/

Energieeffiziente Stadt Leipzig (EnEffLE, 2009–2010)

• General information: This project is part of Wettbewerb Energieeffiziente Stadt, an advancement initiative of the BMBF. The project aims for an integrated implementation concept for an energy efficient city with respect to the demographic change – exemplarily for the eastern part of Leipzig.
• I work on the conception and creation of a prototype that visualize the “energy truth” to allow a general overview over energy usage and pollution creation. Furthermore it allows to simulate the energy saving potentials from modernization of the buildings in the area.

Cat-e-dia – A browser for wikipedia categories

• http://catedia.informatik.uni-leipzig.de/Default.aspx

Pre Built Information Space (Pre BIS, 2002–2006)

• General information: The project sponsored by the German Ministry for Education and Research and was concerned with developing strategies for the context-dependent information supply of knowledge workers.
• I worked on the conception, design, implementation and testing of the projects document segmentation (chunkifikation) including the belonging browser based segmented document viewer (chunkviewer)
