Courses in winter term 2017 / Seminar Master-Seminar: Event Detection
Abstract
The automatic detection of events is an important problem in the realm of streaming data applications. With regards to social network platforms the starting idea is to identify closely-related (in a semantic context) messages from streams of user posts. Nevertheless, the seminar also includes methods that operate on a higher-level of abstraction, i.e. considering general multi-variate streams. This seminar has multiple goals: On one hand, it will enhance the students' abilities to comprehend, explain and reproduce state-of-the-art research. On the other hand, it serves as a playground for developing analytical thinking and excercising academic criticism.
