Felix Lanfermann , "Concept Identification for Complex Data Sets", Bielefeld University, 2023.
AbstractLarge and complex data sets play an essential role in many engineering and computer science applications. Revealing structures within data sets, such as groups of similar data samples or correlations between feature values, is often desirable. But generating such insights is far from trivial. The field of concept identification targets to automatically find groups of data samples in large and complex data sets which share common properties. Such ...

AbstractRecent advances in the field of pretrained Large Language Models (LLM) made commonsense knowledge available "out of the box" for a vast range of scenarios including content generation, customer service, and voice assistants. The release of GPT-3.5 (known as ChatGPT) opened prospectives for building highly contextualizable conversational agents, capable to hold a dialog and reflect about various situations as well as on behalf of different social ...

AbstractGenerating code from a natural language using Large Language Models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT, seems groundbreaking. Yet, with more extensive use, it's evident that this approach has its own limitations. The inherent ambiguity of natural language presents challenges for complex software designs. Accordingly, our research offers an Agile Model-Driven Development (MDD) approach that enhances code auto-generation using OpenAI's GPT-4. Our work emphasiz...

AbstractElectric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft design concepts are currently developed by many companies and research consortia. A relevant topic in the design process is very early on the optimal vehicle specification to maximize the operational profit of the fleet. This paper proposes a novel method that combines open vehicle design concepts with an Evolutionary Algorithm optimization scheme to find the optimal aircraft specifications,...

AbstractAssembly complexity and manufacturing costs of engineering structures can be significantly reduced by using periodic mechanical components, which are defined by combining multiple identical unit cells into a global topology. Additionally, the superior energy-absorbing properties of lattice-based periodic structures can potentially enhance the overall performance in crash-related applications. Recent research developments in periodic topology opti...

AbstractThis paper shows a (lateral) Model Predictive Control (MPC) implementation on an Autonomous Driving (AD) prototype. Rapid prototyping and testing of AD functions in a realistic environment is a crucial step to understanding the advantages and shortcomings of algorithms in research and development of AD. Prototype vehicles show a specific set of requirements which differ from the control deployed in the final products. Vehicles are equipped with s...

AbstractMeta-reinforcement learning aims to overcome important limitations in reinforcement learning, like low sample efficiency and poor generalization, by creating agents that adapt to new tasks. The development of intelligent robots would benefit from such agents. Long-standing issues like data collection and generalization to real-world dynamic environments could be mitigated by sample-efficient adaptable algorithms. However, most such algorithms ...
