A new decision support system for predictive maintenance of laser cutting machines is developed. The system provides a platform for condition monitoring, fault detection and prediction of the remaining useful life of systems and components as well as data-driven decision support and prescriptive recommendations for ...

One of the major promises of Big Data lies in the simultaneous mining of multiple sources of data. This is particularly important in life sciences, where different and complementary data are scattered across multiple resources. To overcome this issue, the use of RDF/semantic web technology is emerging, but querying ...

In this project, we develop a  system for the detection and analysis of germ transmission chains in the University Hospital  Zurich. The system is based on an expert system solution in combination with machine learning (reinforcement learning).  

Every user has a unique digital signature with respect to typing, moving the mouse or accessing a web page. For instance, by analyzing the time between specific keystrokes of many users, we can verify whether user A really is user A or whether she/he has assumed the identity of another user. The goal of this ...

Recommendation systems are ubiquitous on digital platforms. However, many systems rely either on the availability of large amounts of data that allow for data-driven optimization (collaborative filtering), or they are rather simple  and lack the possibility of intelligent recommendations. Especially in the fields of ...

Compared with earlier regulations, the 4th European Money Laundering Directive (MLD4) imposes rigorously increased requirements. It compels obliged entities to conduct in depth screenings of customers and their associations. The Libra Project aims at providing a one tool solution for meeting MLD4 compliance. The ...

Speech recognition systems baed on Deep Neural Networks (DNN) currently brake all records and is being applied already in different products. These systems normally are trained with thousands of hours of training material for applications and languages where these amounts of data are available. In this feasibility ...

_Management Abstract Playing and enjoying music is amongst the most rewarding recreational activities of humankind for individuals as well as in group settings. Visiting concerts or sending one’s kids to music lessons - thus being enabled to discuss and co-shape the musical part of our culture - are hence important ...
