Our group includes PostDocs, PhD students, and student assistants, and is headed by Prof. Felix Naumann. If you are interested in joining our team, please contact Felix Naumann.

For bachelor students we offer German lectures on database systems in addition to paper- or project-oriented seminars. Within a one-year bachelor project, students finalize their studies in cooperation with external partners. For master students we offer courses on information integration, data profiling, and information retrieval enhanced by specialized seminars, master projects and we advise master theses.

Most of our research is conducted in the context of larger research projects, in collaboration across students, across groups, and across universities. We strive to make available most of our datasets and source code.

Please do not hesitate to reach out directly to us, if you cannot find a paper, slides, or other research artifacts.

Three Master Lectures on Information Management

In the summer semester 2012 the Information Systems group is offering three lectures in the area of information management. Each of the lectures comprises 2 SWS including an accompanying exercise. They range from integration of structured data all the way to management of unstructured data and text, thus giving students a deep dive into modern IS technologies and applications:

Natural Language Processing technology attempts to understand the human language and extract structured knowledge from it.
Data Mining and Probabilistic Reasoning gives an overview of data analysis techniques for pattern mining, prediction, and knowledge discovery.
Information Integration collects data from various sources to create a common, well-structured and clean data set.

The lectures can be visited individually or in any combination. We will provide pointers to topics of the other lectures where applicable. Where desired we plan to offer combined oral exams at the end of the semester.
