This paper presents the structure and activitities of the recently established Competence Center in Speech and Language Technology in Saarbrücken. The objectives of the Competence Center are to provide a comprehensive information service about speech and language technologies, including live demonstrations of the most important language technology (LT) systems, and to advance the state of the a...

Sowohl am Institut für Automatisierung der TU Chemnitz als auch am ISR (Institute for Systems and Robotics) in Lissabon existieren Projekte auf dem Gebiet “Outdoor Robotics“, wobei heterogene Muli-Robot Teams Aufgaben in einem simulierten Search and Rescue Szenario durchführen. Search and Rescue Robotics hat sich in den letzten Jahren als eigene Disziplin etabliert, wobei wir uns im Gegensatz z...

A loss of genetic diversity may lead to increased disease risks in subpopulations of dogs. The canine breed structure has contributed to relatively small effective population size in many breeds and can limit the options for selective breeding strategies to maintain diversity. With the completion of the canine genome sequencing project, and the subsequent reduction in the cost of genotyping on ...

BACKGROUND In the Directive 2001/18/EC on the deliberate release of genetically modified organisms (GMO) into the environment, a monitoring of potential risks is prescribed after their deliberate release or placing on the market. Experience and data of already existing monitoring networks should be included. The present paper summarizes the major findings of a project funded by the Federal Agen...

This paper poses the question, how linguistic corpus-based research may be enriched by the exploitation of conceptual text structures and layout as provided via TEI annotation. Examples for possible areas of research and usage scenarios are provided based on the German historical corpus of the Deutsches Textarchiv (DTA) project, which has been consistently tagged accordant to the TEI Guidelines...

Wissensmanagement ist für ein erfolgreiches wirtschaftliches Handeln von zentraler Bedeutung. Dabei spielen nicht nur die organisatorischen Strukturen und informationstechnologischen Hilfsmittel eine wichtige Rolle, sondern vor allem die Bereitschaft und Motivation der Mitarbeitenden, zur Wissensidentifikation beizutragen, ihr Wissen darzustellen, gemeinsam neues Wissen zu generieren oder zu be...

-Political redistricting involves the amalgamation of a large number of geographic or statistical units into a smaller set of electoral districts such that the districts satisfy various criteria prescribed by law, judicial mandate, or historical precedent. This paper describes a network-based optimization model that is currently being used by governmental decision-makers in New Zealand to assis...

We describe DFKI’s submission to the System Combination and Machine Translation tracks of the 2011 IWSLT Evaluation Campaign. We focus on a sentence selection mechanism which chooses the (hopefully) best sentence among a set of candidates. The rationale behind it is to take advantage of the strengths of each system, especially given an heterogeneous dataset like the one in this evaluation campa...
