Katharina Morik

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Katharina Morik (* 1954 in Hagen ) is a German computer scientist and head of the chair for artificial intelligence at the faculty for computer science at the Technical University of Dortmund .

Career

Morik began her studies in 1973 at the University of Hamburg . In 1981 she received her doctorate there with Walther von Hahn at the chair of "Natural Language Systems (NatS)" with a dissertation on the subject of "Validation of systems of belief in artificial intelligence against the background of linguistic theories about implicit utterances".

Then Katharina Morik worked as a postdoctoral researcher in the project "Hamburg Application-oriented Natural-language system" (HAM-ANS) at the University of Hamburg. In 1985 she took over the internal project management for the joint project LERNER at the TU Berlin , in which the first German knowledge acquisition system integrating machine learning was developed. Her focus on conceiving such a system as an assistant for knowledge engineers ("sloppy modeling") led her after her habilitation in 1988 at the TU Berlin as part of the project belonging to the "European Strategic Program on Research in Information Technology" (ESPRIT) “Machine Learning Toolbox” at the Society for Mathematics and Data Processing in Sankt Augustin . Katharina Morik organized the eleventh German workshop "Artificial Intelligence" in 1987 with Dimitris Karagiannis and the "International Workshop on Knowledge Representation and Organization in Machine Learning" in the same year. Since the first European Working Session on Learning in Paris in 1986, she and Yves Kodratoff advanced the "European Conference on Machine Learning" (ECML), which later became the "European Conference on Machine Learning and Principles and Practice of Knowledge Discovery in Databases" ( ECML PKDD). She was chair of the program committee in 1989 and 2008 and was a regular reviewer or meta-reviewer. She has been a member of the conference's Steering Committee since 2009. Together with Xindong Wu, she also founded the "IEEE International Conference on Data Mining", of which she was a member of the Steering Committee from 2002 to 2007. In 2004 she headed the conference program together with Rajeev Rastogi and has since held various roles within the conference, including Vice Chair, Awards Chair, Demo Chair and Panel Chair.

In 1991 Morik accepted the call to the C-4 professorship in the computer science department at the Technical University of Dortmund. Her main research interests are in the areas of machine learning and data mining , in particular under the aspects of " Big Data Analytics", "Embedded Analytics", "Multi-media mining", " Algorithms on data streams ", "Analysis of language corpore" and "Data mining for sustainability ”. As a professor of artificial intelligence, she trained many later internationally renowned researchers. As the first reviewer, she supervised the doctoral theses and a. by Stefan Wrobel ( Fraunhofer Institute for Intelligent Analysis and Information Systems IAIS ), Thorsten Joachims ( Cornell University ) and Ingo Mierswa ( RapidMiner ).

Katharina Morik recognized the relationship between machine learning and cyber-physical systems at an early stage and in 2011 recruited the Collaborative Research Center (CRC) 876 - Availability of Information through Analysis under Resource Restrictions with 12 projects and more than 50 doctoral students, of which she is the head. The SFB 876 funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) for all of the three possible project phases is dedicated to the connection of machine learning, technical informatics and big data for energy-saving analysis algorithms of very large data streams.

Katharina Morik has been the spokesperson for the Competence Center Machine Learning Rhein-Ruhr (ML2R) since 2018 . The center, funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), is one of six nationwide competence centers for artificial intelligence. The Technical University of Dortmund, the Fraunhofer Institute for Intelligent Analysis and Information Systems IAIS, the Fraunhofer Institute for Material Flow and Logistics IML and the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn are involved in the ML2R. In 2018, Federal Research Minister Anja Karliczek commissioned Morik to coordinate the German competence centers for artificial intelligence at the federal level. She is also responsible for the coordination and the content-related and thematic exchange between the network of German AI centers and the French National AI Research Network.
