In the upcoming summer term (starting on March 1), I will give the following courses at AAU:

• 620.002 Introduction to Computer Science (Exercises, German)
• 621.401 Compiler Construction (Lab, English)

In the upcoming summer term (starting on March 1, 2016), I will give the following two courses:

• 620.002 Introduction to computer science (exercises, German)
• 621.401 Compiler construction (lab, English)

Course material will be provided for students in non-public Moodle. If you are not enrolled to these courses and interested in the course material, please drop me an e-mail.

In summer term 2015, I will give just one course:

621.402 PR Übersetzerbau (compiler construction lab)

The course will start on March 9. The course material will be made available in Moodle for participants only.

Update: The master thesis has been assigned to Florian Winkler as of June 26, 2014.

This is a call for a master thesis on biomedical concept detection.

Abstract:
Detecting biomedical concepts in text documents or queries is a useful tool for improving biomedical information retrieval or navigating biomedical document collections. Known successful techniques for biomedical concept detection rely on natural language processing and/or machine learning and incur a substantial processing overhead at the document indexing stage compared to keyword-only indexing.
The goal of this master thesis is to evaluate a novel efficient concept detection algorithm based on position-dependent keyword matching on a recent public biomedical data set. Concepts are taken from a biomedical thesaurus called Medical Subject Headings (MeSH). Results should be compared to the accuracy achieved by the well-known MetaMap concept detector.

Here are the courses I give this summer term:

621.171 Distributed systems lab
621.401 Compiler construction lab
621.402 Compiler construction lab

Students access the course material through non-public Moodle. If you are not enrolled to these courses but are interested in the course material, please drop me an e-mail.

Today I had a talk on virtualization of operating systems with demos using Virtualbox and Proxmox VE at the Inf2School workshop at AAU, which targets further education of secondary school teachers. Slides are here (in German).

I just announced a development project for bachelor students (Softwarepraktikum) at the TEWI blog. The project goal is to build a video system for recording and documenting courses to support our e-learning department. Please see the link above for details (in German) or drop me an e-mail if you are interested.

In summer 2012, I will give these two courses:

• 621.172 Distributed systems (laboratory), Monday 12-14.
• 621.401 Compiler construction (laboratory), Thursday, 10-12.

Courses will start in the week of Monday, March 5. I would be glad to see you there!
