Title: Research Data Management with Machine Training Support
In the age of digital science more and more information systems based on curated data for a certain research field become available. Scholars can use information systems to analyze data and draw conclusions, which are then written down in scientific publications. Arguments contained in the publications can, however, usually be tied to data with a lot of effort only. Visualizations for scholars, for instance, in particular 3D visualizations with immersion effects, although very valuable for getting insights, can hardly be made available with current technology in such a way that other researchers can indeed verify the arguments that a scholar derived from 3D display elements (and more conventional display elements) shown in information systems. Pictures and videos that are usually referred to are no longer enough for scientific argumentation in the digital age. The presentation discusses the current state-of-the-art in scientific information systems and provided new ideas for combining data display, citation, and verification of arguments using formal means.
Speaker: Ralf Möller
Ralf Möller is Full Professor of Artificial Intelligence in Humanities and heads the Institute of Humanities-Centered AI (CHAI) at the University of Hamburg. His main research area is artificial intelligence, in particular probabilistic relational modeling techniques and natural language technologies for information systems as well as machine learning and data mining for decision making of agents in social mechanisms. Ralf Möller is co-speaker of the Section for Artificial Intelligence of the German Informatics Society.
