There are several terms in probability theory which keep popping up in our machine learning paper discussion. Michael Hefenbrock and I sat down to get a hang of what exactly is behind a few of these terms. This blog contains […]
In December 2021 I had to pleasure to attended NeurIPS (the thirty-fifth Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems). For the second time the conference was held remotely, not in Sydney as originally planned. A total of 2334 papers were accepted […]
My understanding of the dynamics of climate change has evolved over the past months. The cause is a bi-weekly paper discussion in which a group of friends and I read research papers dealing with climate change (in parallel to our […]
In December 2020 I attended COLING’2020 (the 28th International Conference on Computational Linguistics) to present “Contextual BERT” at the TextGraphs-14 workshop and to learn about the latest advancements in natural language processing (NLP). This year the conference was not held […]
I recently discovered that voting systems are an intriguing field to study. In everyday life we often encounter situations in which a vote takes place, e.g., when agreeing on which movie to watch, which restaurant to dine at in a […]
In December 2019 I had the pleasure to attend the 33rd Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS 2019) in Vancouver, Canada, to present my work on document understanding. During the three main conference days there were a total of […]
As part of our Bachelor studies, Samed Güner and I worked on a student research project on vision-based page rank estimation. In this blog article we share our work on a non-technical level. The accompanying written report contains all the technical […]
During the 6th semester of my BSc studies I have chosen to attend a seminar on Theoretical Computer Science. My task was to present the topic “polynomial-time approximation schemes” to the others. In this article I am sharing the work. […]
The International Space Station is orbiting our planet since 1998. One orbit takes only approximately 92 minutes and the ISS is sometimes visible at the night-sky. To the naked eye it looks like a bright star crossing the night sky in […]
When I was about 6 years old, my dad explained to me that there was no possibility to shoot something right into orbit from the Earth’s surface. He said it was always necessary to accelerate sideways to reach orbit. At that […]
