Current Projects

DQAText: Assessing Data Quality Aspects of Texts (part of TMF - Standards and tools for data monitoring in observational health studies) is a DFG funded project that deals with developing automated quality checks for heath related data in the form of free texts. 

WETSCAPES2.0: WETSCAPES2.0 (sinks, links and legacies of novel ecosystems in rewetted fen landscapes) is the DFG Transregio Collaborative Research Centre 410, which deals with exploring the effects of rewetting fen landscapes and will provide a functional understanding of these new wetscapes, and address the spatio-temporal implications of peatland rewetting at landscape level and beyond. The Institute of Data Science is co-lead in the subproject Z3: Research Data Management. 

XPro: Explainable probabilistic models for critical applications is a project funded by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) through their Program for Project-Related Personal Exchange (PPP) from 2024 with Portugal, enabling our international collaboration with the Institute of Systems and Robotics within the University of Coimbra and maintaining our existing collaboration with the Institute of Informatics within the Free University of Berlin.

ARDUOUS: Annotation of useR Data for UbiquitOUs Systems is a workshop series and spin-off of various collaboration works.

TextToHBM: A Generalised Approach to Learning Models of Human Behaviour for Activity Recognition from Textual Instructions is a project funded by the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft).

Healthy Ageing: As the elderly population increases, automatically supporting their life is becoming a priority in the research community. To be able to provide such support, however, the focus of measuring ageing and health should shift from the current symptom-based approaches to personalised situation-aware approaches.

Super Learning Algorithms: The project focuses on the development and application of super learning algorithms for forecasting economic time series in high dimensions. It addresses challenges in current economic time series forecasting: vast number and heterogeneous predictors, non-linear predictive relationships, etc.

Completed Projects

BehavE: Behaviour Understanding through Situation Models for Situation-aware AssistancE is a project funded by the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft).

AMIGOS: Autonomous Multimodal Ingestion for Goal Oriented Support is a project funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and awarded to the Palo Alto Research Center, Inc. (PARC).

 DigiCare: The project is funded by the European Social Fund through the Excellence Initiative of the State Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

EDEM-Connect: The project, funded by Federal Ministry of Education and Research (Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung), focuses on the Development of a Communication and Services Platform for the Caregivers of People with Dementia.

SPHERE: Sensor Platform for HEalthcare in a Residential Environment is an interdisciplinary research initiative in the United Kingdom which is funded by EPSRC (Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council).
