Transfer Learning for Text Classification with Siamese Networks

Von Phuong Mai Mai| 2019-11-21T12:28:53+00:00 21. November 2019|

In this blogpost, I want to present my master's thesis, which focused on transfer learning for text classification using Siamese Networks.

Text classification is a field in natural language processing (NLP), which assigns text to given classes. With applications in sentiment analysis, spam detection or i

Pepper als Bewegungstrainer für Senioren

Von Philipp Ubrich| 2019-11-15T13:08:46+00:00 15. November 2019|

Kann der humanoide Roboter Pepper die Rolle eines interaktiven Übungspartners einnehmen, der die Bewegungen der Benutzer erfasst, analysiert und auswertet? Klar kann er das! Hierfür stellen wir in diesem Blog-Beitrag ein Verfahren zur Erkennung und Steuerung mittels Gesten vor!

Assistenzroboter werden immer populärer und finden deshalb zunehmend Verwendung in den verschiedensten Einsatzszenarien. Staubsauger-Roboter oder Rasenmäher-Roboter helf

Tracking on the Edge: A Case Study on Real Time Object Tracking

Von Chris Carstensen| 2019-10-21T13:50:53+00:00 04. November 2019|

Enabling robots to perceive the world around us and interact with it as we do requires object tracking, ie. the location and classification of objects in their environment. This post summarizes the experience gained while developing such an object detection and tracking system on an embedded device.

tl;dr Enabling robots to perceive the world around us and interact with it as we do requires object tracking, ie. the location and classification of objects in their

inovex practice: Agilität unter echten Bedingungen lernen

Die practice vereint Studierende an verschiedenen Standorten über sechs Monate in einem selbstorganisierten agilen Team. Dieses Team hatte die Aufgabe, mit dem Roboter Pepper verschiedene Showcases für mehrere Stakeholder zu realisieren.

Die inovex practice ist, zusätzlich zu den inovex classes, ein neues Format für Studierende bei inovex. Dieses Format wurde speziell für Studierende aus verschiedenen Fa

Speed up Your Android Espresso Tests With Firebase TestLab and Flank

Von Andreas Bauer| 2019-10-21T13:48:33+00:00 21. Oktober 2019|

WalmartLab's Flank enables you to run Espresso tests on Firebase TestLab in parallel, speeding up the process while still leveraging its CI integration and amazing reports.

Executing Android Espresso Tests on a CI Server has always been a problem. Emulators are slow to start, tests take forever to finish or even fail because of timeouts

Uncertainty Quantification in Deep Learning

Von Simon Bachstein| 2019-10-09T14:17:31+00:00 08. Oktober 2019|

Teach your Deep Neural Network to be aware of its epistemic and aleatory uncertainty. Get a quantified confidence measure for your Deep Learning predictions.

Artificial Intelligence—and machine learning in particular—have come a long way since their early beginnings. The widespread availability and affordability of powerfu

Kubernetes on Windows (2): Tools

Von Joscha Völler| 2019-09-25T15:13:19+00:00 01. Oktober 2019|

Kubernetes offers many tools and add-ons that bring a lot of functionality to the table. But do they work with the new Kubernetes on Windows?

Kubernetes is a powerful system on its own. But what really elevates its usefulness to new heights are the many add-ons and tools. They add functionality like monitor

Von Joscha Völler| 2019-09-25T15:13:25+00:00 30. September 2019|

Kubernetes is getting more and more popular. But how does the container orchestration software fare on Windows? This post will give you a general overview.

With Kubernetes gaining more and more popularity it was only a matter of time until Microsoft brought it to their platform. This March Kubernetes announced production

Polyglot Programming in a Microservice World

Von Markus Gerdes| 2019-09-23T12:08:39+00:00 22. September 2019|

In this post, I share some insights and learnings from applying polyglot programming within a microservice architecture , including the story of my current project.

Some years ago, microservices appeared as a new architectural pattern for larger software systems. Instead of creating a big monolithic application, there are several

illuminatio: the Kubernetes Network Policy Validator

Von Henning Häcker| 2019-09-11T11:26:31+00:00 17. September 2019|

Network policy validation basically ensures the functionality of your cluster’s firewall and therefore is a really important topic if you are using kubernetes and want to control the network behaviour of your pods.

The JAMstack is not a new technology stack as the name might imply, but a new architecture for web applications. Instead of rendering a web site dynamically in the browser the JAMstack makes use of JavaScript, APIs, and Markup.
