''Internal note for our chair: each of us should offer / provide 12 months of supervision every year. Each thesis or project "counts" just like it counts for the students, where #months = #ECTS / 4. That is, B.Sc. project = 6 ECTS = 1.5 months, M.Sc. project = 16 ECTS = 4 months, B.Sc. thesis = 12 ECTS = 3 months, M.Sc. thesis = 25 ECTS = 6 months.''

== List of available and ongoing topics for current B.Sc. and M.Sc. projects and theses ==

''Note to interested students: if all projects in this list are ongoing, this means that our current capacity for supervising projects is reached. Maybe, if you come back later, there will be an offer again. You can also propose a topic on your own.''

'''Question Answering using Semantic Full-Text Search (thesis, available)''': Use our semantic full-text search engine Broccoli for the FACTOID and LIST questions from one of the TREC Questions Answering benchmarks, e.g. http://trec.nist.gov/data/qa/2006_qadata/QA2006_testset.xml . What is the performance of manually constructed queries, and what can be done to improve it? Good if you heard the information retrieval lecture before, but not absolutely necessary ...

'''Improved Transfer Patterns Routing (thesis or larger project, available)''': Public transit routing at Google currently implements the transfer patterns algorithm from this paper: http://ad-publications.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/ESA_transferpatterns_BCEGHRV_2010.pdf . The evaluation in this paper is outdated, and we know of several possible major improvements in the meantime. In particular, we know how to accelerate the pre-processing time by a factor of about 10. The goal of this thesis would we to implement a much improved version of transfer patterns and properly benchmark it ... ''supervised by Hannah Bast and Sabine Storandt''

'''An easy-to-use web app for the !CompleteSearch engine (project, available)''': The !CompleteSearch engine complex search capabilities (including prefix search and faceted search) on semi-structured data (text and databases) with very fast query times. Our current software is powerful and flexible, but has quite a learning curve before it can be used. The goal of this project would be to set up a web app, where one can upload any CSV dataset, and then have a convenient search (with meaningful default settings), without having to set up anything oneself. This would be an extremely useful web application ... ''supervised by Hannah Bast''
