The IPD Institutsseminar is an ongoing course that aims to provide information about current research work at the Institute. In particular, students at the Institute are given the opportunity to report on their Bachelor's and Master's theses in front of a larger audience. The focus is on the problem definition, the solution approaches and the results achieved. However, the seminar is open to all students and employees of the KIT as well as other interested parties.

| Abstract | The data quality within the Google Books Ngram Corpus is not sufficient for many purposes. This thesis aims to address common data quality problems like misspellings, errors due to optical character recognition, or spelling reforms. The main goal is to implement a framework for rule-based entity matching based on Active Learning from small example sets. Thus, different spellings and variants of the same word can be unified into a single canonical time series covering the word's meaning instead of its different spelling variants. While a general evaluation of the data quality before and after applying out method is difficult to achieve, both the coverage and correctness of the generated rules can serve as a sensible proxy. |
