VSR News

We are very happy and proud to announce, that VSR has successfully reached the final third milestone and completed the IoTxKG project in the context of AI4EU. Within the last six months, our team was working as a solution provider for the KE4WoT challenge, investigating novel AI-driven models for knowledge extraction in the Web of Things domain. We designed a method to identify and represent core concepts which we successfully applied to Ontologies from the Smart Home, Smart Weather, Smart Transportation and Smart Energy domains and validated it with domain experts. Our research has contributed to the advancement of the European AI on Demand platform, AI4EU (https://www.ai4europe.eu/), and our models are available via the AI4EU Experiments marketplace (https://aiexp.ai4europe.eu/#/marketPlace). Stay tuned for further details about our NLP-based clustering models and interactive concept visualizations to be published in 2022.
Congratulations to our IoTxKG team Mahda Noura, Sebastian Heil and Martin Gaedke!

We are very happy and proud to announce, that our paper "WAT: Autonomous Hypermedia-driven Web Agents for Web of Things Devices" was announced as the Challenge winner at the The 20th International Semantic Web Conference in the All The Agents Challenge 2021. Congratulations to our VSR members Mahda Noura, Valentin Siegert and Martin Gaedke!

Our VSR team member Mahda Noura participated in the Dagstuhl seminar on Autonomous Agents on the Web and presented our current research findings and a demo of WoTDL2API  which showed how to webify Internet of Things devices. 

We are very happy and proud to announce, that our research on "Querying the Semantic Web for Concept Identifiers to Annotate Research Datasets" got an Outstanding Paper award at the 14th International Conference on Advances in Semantic Processing SEMAPRO 2020 . Congratulations to our VSR members André Langer, Christoph Göpfert and Martin Gaedke!

We are very happy and proud to announce, that our research paper titled "Natural Language Goal Understanding for Smart Homes Environments" was selected as the candidate for Best Paper at the 10th International Conference on the Internet of Things organized in Malmö, Sweden. The contribution is a collaborative work of Mahda Noura, Sebastian Heil and Martin Gaedke. 

Congratulations to the authors!

Our VSR team members Prof. Dr.-Ing. Martin Gaedke and André Langer participated in a project meeting of the DFG Collaborative Research Center Hybrid Societies and presented our current work progress and further strategy within the INF project about Interdisciplinary Research Dataset Publishing and Collaboration.

Additionally, the Executive Board of the CRC Hybrid Societies approved André's status as an Associated Doctoral Candidate within this project.
