Sensible data analysis requires data quality control. An essential part of this is data profiling, which is the identification and assessment of data quality problems as a prerequisite for adequately handling these problems. Differentiating between actual quality problems and unusual, but valid data values requires the "human-in-the-loop" through the use of visual analytics. Unfortunately, existing approaches for data profiling do not adequately support the special characteristics of time, which is imperative to identify quality problems in time series data - a data type prevalent in a multitude of disciplines. In this design study paper, we outline the design, implementation, and evaluation of "Know Your Enemy" (KYE) - a visual analytics approach to assess the quality of time series data. KYE supports the task of data profiling with (1) predefined data quality checks, (2) user-definable, customized quality checks, (3) interactive visualization to explore and reason about automatically detected problems, and (4) the visual identification of hidden quality problems.

In this paper, we present a novel method for fast generation of furniture arrangements in interior scenes. Our method exploits the benefits of optimization-based approaches for global aesthetic rules and the advantages of procedural approaches for local arrangement of small objects. We generate the furniture arrangements for a given room in two steps: We first optimize the selection and arrangement of furniture objects in a room with respect to aesthetic and functional rules. The infinite trans-dimensional space of furniture layouts is rapidly explored by greedy cost minimization. In the second step, the procedural methods are locally applied in a stochastic fashion to generate important scene details. We demonstrate that our method achieves comparable results to a recent method for automatic interior design in terms of user preferences and that local procedural design enhances the result of optimization-based interior design. Additionally, our method is one order of magnitude faster than the compared method. Finally, the execution times of up to one second show that our method is suitable for generating large-scale indoor virtual environments during runtime.

Das EU Forschungsprojekt „HOBBIT“ hat Prototypen von assistiven Robotern zur Unterstützung eines sicheren und selbstständigen Lebens entwickelt und bei älteren Personen in der häuslichen Umgebung getestet. Im Projekt „personAAL“ wurde untersucht, ob verschiedene Verhaltensweisen („Persönlichkeiten“) eines solchen Roboterprototyps bei ansonsten gleicher Funktion (Überbringen einer Nachricht) von Testpersonen als unterschiedliche Persönlichkeiten wahrgenommen werden. Der Roboter wurde mit zwei Verhaltensweisen (introvertiert/extrovertiert) ausgestattet und 13 Testpersonen (großteils älteren Personen bzw. Experten aus der Pflege) vorgeführt. Der „extrovertierte“ Roboter wurde weit überwiegend präferiert. Bei den Teilfragen „Anthropomorphismus“ und „Belebtheit“ sowie in der Gesamtbewertung wurden signifikante Wahrnehmungsunterschiede gefunden, nicht jedoch für die Teilfragen „Sympathie“ und „Sicherheit“. Es gab keinerlei signifikante Korrelation zwischen bevorzugtem Verhalten des Roboters und Selbsteinschätzung der Testperson als introvertiert oder extrovertiert. Es kann vermutet werden, dass die Akzeptanz eines Roboters nicht rein von der nüchternen Funktion abhängt, und es daher sinnvoll sein wird, für bessere Akzeptanz verschiedene Verhaltensweisen zur Wahl zu stellen.

Optical Music Recognition (OMR) is the challenge of understanding the content of musical scores. Accurate detection of individual music objects is a critical step in processing musical documents because a failure at this stage corrupts any further processing. So far, all proposed methods were either limited to typeset music scores or were built to detect only a subset of the available classes of music symbols. In this work, we propose an end-to-end trainable object detector for music symbols that is capable of detecting almost the full vocabulary of modern music notation in handwritten music scores. By training deep convolutional neural networks on the recently released MUSCIMA++ dataset which has symbol-level annotations, we show that a machine learning approach can be used to accurately detect music objects with a mean average precision of over 80%.

Systems incorporating Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) techniques are increasingly used to guide decision-making in the healthcare sector. While AI-based systems provide powerful and promising results with regard to their classification and prediction accuracy (e.g., in differentiating between different disorders in human gait), most share a central limitation, namely their black-box character. Understanding which features classification models learn, whether they are meaningful and consequently whether their decisions are trustworthy is difficult and often impossible to comprehend. This severely hampers their applicability as decisionsupport systems in clinical practice. There is a strong need for AI-based systems to provide transparency and justification of predictions, which are necessary also for ethical and legal compliance. As a consequence, in recent years the field of explainable AI (XAI) has gained increasing importance. XAI focuses on the development of methods that enhance transparency and interpretability of complex ML models, such as Deep (Convolutional) Neural Networks. The primary aim of this article is to investigate whether XAI methods can enhance transparency, explainability and interpretability of predictions in automated clinical gait classification. We utilize a dataset comprising bilateral three-dimensional ground reaction force measurements from 132 patients with different lower-body gait disorders and 62 healthy controls. In our experiments, we included several gait classification tasks, employed a representative set of classification methods, and a well-established XAI method-Layer-wise Relevance Propagation (LRP)-to explain decisions at the signal (input) level. The classification results are analyzed, compared and interpreted in terms of classification accuracy and relevance of input values for specific decisions. The decomposed input relevance information are evaluated from a statistical (using Statistical Parameter
