The Internet offers ever-growing amounts of data and information. But how can we distinguish relevant information from irrelevant information? How are geographic coordinates assigned to location-based texts? How can information be summarized and presented? Using Hurricane Florence (2018, USA) as an example, we’ll explore these questions and show how web data can help plan emergency response measures.
Be sure to visit our fascinating hands-on stations afterward. There, discover the impressive possibilities of modern drone technology with VR goggles, test our noise simulator for electric aircraft propulsion systems, explore our FieldMApp for sustainable agriculture, and learn about the pitfalls of training artificial neural networks (AI).
DLR is the Federal Republic of Germany’s national research center for aerospace. Its extensive research and development work in aviation, space, energy, transportation, and security is integrated into national and international collaborations.
At the DLR Institute of Data Sciences in Jena, we focus on the entire data lifecycle, starting with the acquisition and collection of high-quality data, its efficient and sustainable management, and its subsequent analysis to extract the most relevant information.
