Current approaches allow the extraction of relations with a fixed number of entities as attributes. Extracting relations with an arbitrary amount of attributes requires complex systems and costly relation-trigger annotations to assist these systems. We introduce multi-attribute relation extraction (MARE) as an assumption-less problem formulation with two approaches, facilitating an explicit mapping from business use cases to the data annotations. Avoiding elaborated annotation constraints simplifies the application of relation extraction approaches. The evaluation compares our models to current state-of-the-art event extraction and binary relation extraction methods. Our approaches show improvement compared to these on the extraction of general multi-attribute relations.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{OlderogMohrBegingetal.2021, author = {Olderog, M. and Mohr, P. and Beging, Stefan and Tsoumpas, C. and Ziemons, Karl}, title = {Simulation study on the role of tissue-scattered events in improving sensitivity for a compact time of flight compton positron emission tomograph}, series = {2020 IEEE Nuclear Science Symposium and Medical Imaging Conference (NSS/MIC)}, booktitle = {2020 IEEE Nuclear Science Symposium and Medical Imaging Conference (NSS/MIC)}, publisher = {IEEE}, address = {New York, NY}, isbn = {978-1-7281-7693-2}, doi = {10.1109/NSS/MIC42677.2020.9507901}, pages = {4 Seiten}, year = {2021}, abstract = {In positron emission tomography improving time, energy and spatial detector resolutions and using Compton kinematics introduces the possibility to reconstruct a radioactivity distribution image from scatter coincidences, thereby enhancing image quality. The number of single scattered coincidences alone is in the same order of magnitude as true coincidences. In this work, a compact Compton camera module based on monolithic scintillation material is investigated as a detector ring module. The detector interactions are simulated with Monte Carlo package GATE. The scattering angle inside the tissue is derived from the energy of the scattered photon, which results in a set of possible scattering trajectories or broken line of response. The Compton kinematics collimation reduces the number of solutions. Additionally, the time of flight information helps localize the position of the annihilation. One of the questions of this investigation is related to how the energy, spatial and temporal resolutions help confine the possible annihilation volume. A comparison of currently technically feasible detector resolutions (under laboratory conditions) demonstrates the influence on this annihilation volume and shows that energy and coincidence time resolution have a significant impact. An enhancement of the latter from 400 ps to 100 ps leads to a smaller annihilation volume of around 50\%, while a change of the energy resolution in the absorber layer from 12\% to 4.5\% results in a reduction of 60\%. The inclusion of single tissue-scattered data has the potential to increase the sensitivity of a scanner by a factor of 2 to 3 times. The concept can be further optimized and extended for multiple scatter coincidences and subsequently validated by a reconstruction algorithm.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{KohlSchmidtsKloeseretal.2021, author = {Kohl, Philipp and Schmidts, Oliver and Kl{\"o}ser, Lars and Werth, Henri and Kraft, Bodo and Z{\"u}ndorf, Albert}, title = {STAMP 4 NLP - an agile framework for rapid quality-driven NLP applications development}, series = {Quality of Information and Communications Technology.

Building sophisticated NLP applications requires dealing with modern machine learning (ML) technologies, which impedes enterprises from establishing successful NLP projects. Our experience in applied NLP research projects shows that the continuous integration of research prototypes in production-like environments with quality assurance builds trust in the software and shows convenience and usefulness regarding the business goal. We introduce STAMP 4 NLP as an iterative and incremental process model for developing NLP applications. With STAMP 4 NLP, we merge software engineering principles with best practices from data science. Instantiating our process model allows efficiently creating prototypes by utilizing templates, conventions, and implementations, enabling developers and data scientists to focus on the business goals. Due to our iterative-incremental approach, businesses can deploy an enhanced version of the prototype to their software environment after every iteration, maximizing potential business value and trust early and avoiding the cost of successful yet never deployed experiments.}, language = {en} }
