In the fresh mountain air, Prof. Iris Gräßler and her team took the time to reflect on their successes and pass on their experiences to the young team. The clear maxim: contribute to a sustainable future with scientific depth, practice-oriented research, and…
In the CREXDATA project, our "Product Creation" workgroup worked with our partners to develop real-time algorithms for processing extreme data - with the aim of supporting decisions in flood and forest fire incidents. The decisive phase is now underway and the focus is on the practical benefits: during three days of workshops, management and emergency personnel from the Dortmund fire service put the new technologies to the test. Who remembers the…
In mid-December, Louis Mozart Kamdem, research associate in our "Data Science" workgroup, attended the K-CAP conference to present the paper "Neural Reasoning for Robust Instance Retrieval in SHOIQ".
The K-CAP 2025 (Knowledge Capture Conference) took place from 10-12 December 2025 in Dayton, Ohio, and brought together around 60 researchers from the field of knowledge capture. The three-day programme included several thematic sessions with…
The EU project CREXDATA was represented with an exhibition stand at the European Big Data Value Forum (EBDVF) 2025 in Copenhagen. Dr Jens Pottebaum and Deniz Özcan from our "Product Creation" workgroup and Janine Gehring-Lux from the Barcelona Supercomputing Centre presented the latest results of the project. The focus was on three practical use cases for which innovative solutions for data-driven, AI-supported real-time decision-making processes…
Autonomous driving, connected mobility, increasing electrification: the automotive industry is undergoing change. This makes it all the more important to support companies in integrating digital services into their business models and exploiting the innovation potential of digital business processes. For three years, a consortium of scientists and industry experts has been working to develop solutions for the mobility sector. The result: a…
We are pleased to announce the start of the ProDNN project, a joint project funded by the German Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR), in which Paderborn University is one of the project partners and in which the workgroups "Modelling and Design of Photonic Quantum Systems" of Prof. Saravi and "System and Circuit Technology" of Prof. Scheytt at the Heinz Nixdorf Institute are involved.The aim of the ProDNN project is to…
Making data-orientated value creation sustainable - new ideas for digital value creation were developed at the DaWeNa-HUB meeting. The KLUG project was at the centre of it all. Annika Reich, Alena Tusek and Marcel Niemeyer, research assistants from our "Product Creation" workgroup, presented the current status of the project. The concept for transferring the results achieved using the virtual showroom was met with enthusiasm: abstract content can…
In mid-December, Reda Ihtassine, research associate in our “Data Science” workgroup, was at the K-CAP 2025 conference in Dayton, Ohio (USA), to present his paper entitled "NL2LS: LLM-based Automatic Linking of Knowledge Graphs".
In this paper, he addresses the problem of automatically generating link specifications. The idea is that NL2LS automatically translates natural language into formal link specifications that are needed to link resources…
The ISWC took place from 2 to 6 November in 2025 Nara, Japan. The five-day conference offered a diverse programme and free online access to the proceedings for leading researchers and industry experts in the field of Semantic Web and Linked Data.
Our "Data Science" workgroup led by Prof Dr Axel-Cyrille Ngonga Ngomo was strongly represented at the conference with various papers.
Link Prediction Under Non-targeted Attacks: Do Soft Labels Always…

Launch of the "EEBEO" research project to record traffic situations
On Friday, 12 December, Matthias Hauer, Parliamentary State Secretary at the Federal Minister of Research, Technology and Space, presented the funding decision for the research project "EEBEO" ("Decentralised embedded real-time observer for microscopic traffic state estimation") to scientists at Paderborn University. The aim of the project is to install a microscopic observer in…
The effects of extreme weather events are being felt worldwide - floods and forest fires are in the news almost daily. At the EU Science for Preparedness Conference in Turin, Niklas Döhner, research associate in our "Product Creation" workgroup, presented the results of the EU research project CREXDATA. By processing extreme data using artificial intelligence and real-time algorithms, the technologies of the CREXDATA platform support…
On 7 January 2026, the CultCryo ERC project team will kick off the new year with a three-day workshop. From 7 to 9 January, the Paderborn workgroup, led by Prof Dr Suzana Alpsancar, is inviting the entire ERC team to East Westphalia for the annual project workshop. The workshop serves to create synergies through the four major case studies of the ERC team (Food, Air Conditioning, Biomedicine, Computing).
This workshop focuses on data centres,…
