Professorship of Data Engineering
The research group of Data Engineering at TUM Campus Heilbronn devises novel techniques for managing decentralised data, information, and knowledge with a focus on query optimisation, federated query processing, and data quality.
As part of our research, we also study the application of Machine Learning approaches to solve diverse problems in Data and Knowledge Management. For example, we leverage latent features from sub-symbolic representations of knowledge to uncover hidden patterns that can be used to predict missing assertions or properties in knowledge bases.
CONVIDE: Working Group Meeting
On June 25–26, members of our group participated in the annual Convide Working Group meeting at KIT Campus North. Together with more than 30 researchers from across the CRC, we engaged in open and collaborative discussions during a BarCamp-format event focused on cross-project research.
