The Internet offers constantly growing amounts of data and information. But how can relevant and irrelevant information be distinguished? How can geographical coordinates be assigned to texts with a local reference? How can information be summarized and displayed? Using Hurricane Florence (2018, USA) as an example, we address these questions and show how web data can contribute to the planning of emergency measures.
Afterwards, you can also visit our fascinating experimental stations. Discover the impressive possibilities of modern drone technology with VR goggles, test our noise simulator for electric aircraft engines, explore our FieldMApp for sustainable agriculture and discover the pitfalls of training artificial neural networks (AI).
DLR is Germany's national research center for aeronautics and space. Its extensive research and development work in aeronautics, space, energy, transportation and security is integrated into national and international collaborations.
At the DLR Institute of Data Science in Jena, we focus on the entire life cycle of data, starting with the extraction and collection of high-quality data, its efficient and sustainable management and its subsequent analysis to extract the most relevant information.
BY THE WAY:
For young and old explorers alike, our DLR_School_Lab (Leutragraben 4) offers exciting experiments in space and data science in parallel. Among other things, they can discover their fascination for STEM subjects at the Mars rover station, by examining meteorites or with our 3D printer.
