Ein Blog der ZHAW Zürcher Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften
By Nico Ebert (ZHAW) translated from the original German language version published at Inside IT A common narrative in practice sounds something like this: “people claim data protection is important to them, but in reality they give away everything on the internet anyway”. There are also some science studies that seem to prove this again and again: that […]
By Nico Ebert (ZHAW) cross-posted from the author’s blog Many Internet users inside and outside the European Union are very familiar with cookie banners: they pop up on websites, they are often annoying, and it is tedious to really deal with them. Having to state our data sharing and protection preferences over and over again […]
By Bettina Mack (ZHAW) ANNPR, the “International Workshop on Artificial Neural Networks in Pattern Recognition” is a biennial academic conference where researchers come together to discuss the most recent advances in the fields of neural networks, deep learning and artificial intelligence as applied to pattern recognition. Pattern recognition is the field of computer science which […]
By Fernando Benites, Lara Leuschen, Diana Betzler and Mark Cieliebak cross-posted from the SpinningBytes blog Introduction We concluded an compelling interdisciplinary project on the topic of digitalization, where we applied a selection of fundamental methods of data science: web scraping, data wrangling with elastic search/kibana juggling, data cleaning, counting, posing questions and searching for answers […]
By Christoph Heitz (ZHAW) translated from original German language version published at Inside IT Can a prisoner be released early, or released on bail? A judge who decides this should also consider the risk of recidivism of the person to be released. Wouldn’t it be an advantage to be able to assess this risk objectively […]
Kurt Stockinger was invited to contribute a blog to ACM SIGMOD – the leading world-wide community of database research. The blog discusses recent technological advances of natural language interfaces to databases. The ultimate goal is to talk to a database (almost) like to a human. The full blog can be found on the following ACM […]
By Nico Ebert (ZHAW) The original version of this post was published in German on Privacy Bits and English on vetri.global In a lecture for the Fair Data Forum, I dealt with the question “What value does data protection have for individuals and what are they willing to pay for it?” The three data privacy […]
The aim of the PhD Network in Data Science is to offer students with a master degree (including degrees from an university of applied sciences) the opportunity to obtain a PhD in cooperation between a university of applied sciences and a university. The PhD Network in Data Science is supported by Swissuniversities. It is a […]
By Kurt Stockinger (ZHAW) The final results of an interdisciplinary study funded by „TA Swiss“ on „Quantified Self“ with participation of the Datalab have been published. The study was performed by three ZHAW departments (School of Health Professions, School of Management and Law, School of Engineering) in cooperation with the Institute for Futures Studies and […]
by Thilo Stadelmann (ZHAW) In 2014, ZHAW Datalab started the SDS conference series. It was the year with only one Swiss data scientist identifiable on LinkedIn (at Postfinance…). The year where we talked about “Big Data”, and not “Digitization”. The year where we were unsure if such a thing as a Swiss data science community […]
