Subject

Data represent the world on our computers. While the world is very intriguing, data may be quite boring, if one does not know what they mean. I am interested in making data more meaningful to find interesting insights in the world outside.

How does meaning arise?

One can model data and information. Conceptual models and ontologies are the foundations for knowledge graphs that enable the computer to treat data in a meaningful way. Other foundations are physical principles that are put to use in simulations in order reveal laws that govern data. Using machine learning, text and data mining as well as information extraction one may find meaningful patterns in data as well as connections between data and its use in context. Humans communicate information. In order to understand what data and information means, one has to understand social interactions and interactions with computers. Eventually meaning is nothing that exists in the void. Data and information must be communicated to people who may use insights into data and information. Interaction between humans and computers must happen in a way that matches the meaning of data and information.

Internships

We do not offer any kind of internship to bachelor or master students. Ph.D. students are welcome to inquire about research visits.

I have studied computer science and computational linguistics at the Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg and at the University of Pennsylvania. I worked in the previous computational linguistics research group at the Universität Freiburg and did my Ph.D. in computer science in the faculty for technology in 1998. Afterwards I joined Universität Stuttgart, Institute IAT & Fraunhofer IAO, before I moved on to the Universität Karlsruhe (now: KIT), where I progressed from project lead, over lecturer and senior lecturer and did my habilitation in 2002. In 2004 I became professor for databases and information systems at Universität Koblenz-Landau, where I founded the Institute for Web Science and Technologies (WeST) in 2009 and was head of it until 2020. Since February 2020 I have a chair for Analytic Computing at the Institute for Parallel and Distributed Systems of Universität Stuttgart. In parallel, I hold a Chair for Web and Computer Science at University of Southampton since March 2015.
