Towards production-ready tools for self-driving data management with DRL

Abstract

According to researchers deep reinforcement learning (DRL) is poised to revolutionize how autonomous systems are built. However there are several challenges for making DRL tools production-ready. In our project extension we seek to further develop 2 data management solutions and study improvements to existing practices for DRL in computer systems.

Machine Learning to scale telemedical interventions for cardiovascular diseases

Abstract

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death globally. Telemedicine interventions were shown to reduce the percentage of days lost due to unplanned cardiovascular hospital admissions and all-cause mortality. This project will train an AI-System that could help to scale such telemedical interventions by preprocessing and prioritizing.

Measurement-Based Software Performance Engineering for Microservices and Multi-Core Systems

Abstract

DevOps, microservices, and multi-core systems are gaining considerable attraction in research and practice. We would use the requested HPI Future SOC Lab resources to investigate the experimental evaluation of our activities on DevOps-oriented "Load Testing for Microservices" and "Software Performance Engineering for Multi-Core Systems". As included in the project description: During the past HPI Future SOC Lab periods, we have particularly used (dedicated) root access to two servers, namely 192.168.42.14 (896 GB RAM, 80 cores, Ubuntu) and 192.168.42.15 (32 GB RAM, 24 cores, Ubuntu). Dedicated access has been given to us due to our expected high resource demands. We would like to get access to these or comparable resources also in the next period.

Behaviour-based authentication: feature engineering based on large user profiles

Abstract

Our project contributes to the field of behaviour-based authentication. In the last years we collected a great amount of walking sequences of several people. As this dataset is too large to be processed on a normal machine, we hope to evaluate and improve our authentication model by the support of additional resources.

Exploring Game-Theoretic Formation of Realistic Networks

Abstract

We have developed an agent-based game-theoretic model which promises a good explanation of the structure of real world networks. Previous large-scale experiments revealed that our model fails to produce networks with non-constant diameter. This project aims at simulating variations of the model that allow a more flexible diameter.

Improving Test Suite Generation by Testing Google Play's Top 1000 Apps IV

Abstract

Automated generation of test suites tackles the complexity of testing apps. The selection of the generation method is typically done in a trial-and-error fashion due to unknown characteristics of the apps. Analyzing the fitness landscapes of Google Play's top 1000 apps, we want to understand the characteristics and improve the generation method.

WEEVIL- Fourth (WEEVILF)

Abstract

The WEEVILF project is designed as the extension of the previous one (WEEVILT), which was developed using the RX600S5-1 server from the HPI Future SOC Lab. This document details the main aims, scope and schedule development for the WEEVILF project. This project is a continuation of previous one, that is, this submission is a renewal for accessing HPI Future SOC Lab infrastructure.

Voice Biomarkers for Endocrinology and Neurology

Abstract

Voice biomarkers (instantaneous, cost-effective, nonintrusive) are an attractive computational alternative to the traditional medical tests. They are still making it to become accepted in clinical practice. We are at the phase of the data collection to prove or disprove a recent claim that glucose level is detectable from voice.

Deep Representation Learning on Large Attributed Graphs

Abstract

Real-world graphs are often associated with a rich set of attributes (e.g., text, image) that can significantly influence the interactions, such as in political campaigns. This project wants to develop a Deep Learning unsupervised model able to generate a representation that encodes both the relational structure and node attributes in these graphs.

Efficient learning using deep learning in wireless environment

Abstract

This project focuses on how to customize deep learning (DL) for wireless communication by end-to-end learning. We will use DL methods for channel state information (CSI) feedback in massive MU-MIMO system to improve compression efficiency. Autoencoder, generative adversarial network and recurrent neural network are applied to this specific domain.

The usage of State-Of-Art Neural Networks in the classification problems

Abstract

Nowadays, the musical genre can be very ample and in some cases, creates discussions about what a person would consider it as only one particular genre. This kind of classification makes machine learning algorithms struggle to analyse it correctly. However, some new technologies like Generative Algorithm Networks(GANs) or XDeepFM could be manipulat
