However, given the low prices of wood, the Swiss forest industry is unwilling to produce more, despite the important potential of wood mobilization. Financial incentives may help meet the goals of both environmental and...

Large-scale nonlinear variable selection via kernel random features

We propose a new method for input variable selection in nonlinear regression. The method is embedded into a kernel regression machine that can model general nonlinear functions, not being a priori limited to additive models. This is the first kernel-based variable selec- tion method applicable to large datasets. It sidesteps the typical poor scaling properties of kernel methods by...

Unlike past work that has focused on feature engineering, we present a novel representation learning approach that is tailored to the ontology matching task. Our approach is based on embedding...

Voraussetzungen für die Nutzung von Forschungsdaten

Forschungsdaten und ihre Nachnutzung werden die akademische Landschaft in den kommenden Jahren umgreifend verändern. Dies jedoch nur, sofern an den richtigen Stellen die richtigen Voraussetzungen geschaffen werden. Dabei haben zwei Elemente sowohl eine Hebel- als auch eine Scharnierfunktion: Metadaten und persistente Identifikatoren.

The CoWaBoo protocol and applications ::towards the learnable social semantic web

Web platforms and applications are generating a normalized environment for users to consume information. This process of making the Internet experience “clickable” and “fun” comes at a price: we are less inclined to face important decisions on how applications work, data are handled, or how algorithms decide. This article will examine the possibility of shifting from predetermined...

The dial-a-ride problem with electric vehicles and battery swapping stations

The Dial-a-Ride Problem (DARP) consists of designing vehicle routes and schedules for customers with special needs and/or disabilities. The DARP with Electric Vehicles and battery swapping stations (DARP-EV) concerns scheduling a fleet of EVs to serve a set of pre-specified transport requests during a certain planning horizon. In addition, EVs can be recharged by swapping their...
