abstract = {The automatic detection of disinformation and misinformation has gained attention during the last years, since fake news has a critical impact on democracy, society, and journalism and digital literacy. In this paper, we present a binary content-based classification approach for detecting fake news automatically, with several recently published pre-trained language models based on the Transformer architecture. The experiments were conducted on the FakeNewsNet dataset with XLNet, BERT, RoBERTa, DistilBERT, and ALBERT and various combinations of hyperparameters. Different preprocessing steps were carried out with only using the body text, the titles and a concatenation of both. It is concluded that Transformers are a promising approach to detect fake news, since they achieve notable results, even without using a large dataset. Our main contribution is the enhancement of fake news' detection accuracy through different models and parametrizations with a reproducible result examination through the conducted experiments. The evaluation shows that already short texts are enough to attain 85% accuracy on the test set. Using the body text and a concatenation of both reach up to 87% accuracy. Lastly, we show that various preprocessing steps, such as removing outliers, do not have a significant impact on the models prediction output.},

Through the broad interconnectivity a new class of faults arise, the contextual faults, where contextual knowledge is needed to find the underlying reason. Fully-automated systems and the production line in a smart factory form a complex environment making the fault diagnosis non-trivial. Along with a dataset, we give a first definition of contextual faults in the smart factory and name initial use cases. Additionally, the dataset encompasses all the data recorded in a current state-of-the-art smart factory. We also add additional information measured by our developed sensing units to enrich the smart factory data even further. In the end, we show a first approach to detect the contextual faults in a manual preliminary analysis of the recorded log data.},

abstract = {A variety of new technologies and ideas for businesses are arising in the domain of logistics and mobility. It can be differentiated between fundamental new approaches, e.g. central packaging stations or deliveries via drones and minor technological advancements that aim on more ecologically and economic transportation. The need for analytical systems that enable identifying new technologies, innovations, business models etc. and give also the opportunity to rate those in perspective of business relevance is growing. The users’ behavior is commonly investigated in adaptive systems, which is considering the induvial preferences of users, but neglecting often the tasks and goals of the analysis. A process-related supports could assist to solve an analytical task in a more efficient and effective way. We introduce in this paper an approach that enables non-professionals to perform visual trend analysis through an advanced process assistance based on process mining and visual adaptation. This allows generating a process model based on events, which is the baseline for process support feature calculation. These features in form of visual adaptations and the process model enable assisting non-experts in complex analytical tasks.},

The paper outlines therefore a technological solution to observe specific authors e.g. researchers who influence a certain market or engineers of competitors. In many branches both are well-known groups to market players and there is almost always the need of a technology that supports the topical observation. This paper focuses on the concept of how a visual dashboard could enable a market observation and how data must be processed for it and its prototypical implementation which enables an evaluation later. Furthermore, the definition of a principal technological analysis for innovation and technology management is created and is also an important contribution to the scientific community that specifically considers the technology perspective and its corresponding requirements.},

Thereby Visual Analytics systems enable a deep analysis by applying commonly unsupervised machine learning methods and investigating a mass amount of data. A main question from the Visual Analytics viewpoint in this context is, do abstracts of scientific publications provide a similar analysis capability compared to their corresponding full-texts? This would allow to extract a mass amount of text documents in a much faster manner. We compare in this paper the topic extraction methods LSI and LDA by using full text articles and their corresponding abstracts to obtain which method and which data are better suited for a Visual Analytics system for Technology and Corporate Foresight. Based on a easy replicable natural language processing approach, we further investigate the impact of lemmatization for LDA and LSI. The comparison will be performed qualitative and quantitative to gather both, the human perception in visual systems and coherence values. Based on an application scenario a visual trend analytics system illustrates the outcomes.},

abstract = {The integrated cyber-physical systems in Smart Manufacturing generate continuously vast amount of data. These complex data are difficult to assess and gather knowledge about the data. Tasks like fault detection and diagnosis are therewith difficult to solve. Visual Analytics mitigates complexity through the combined use of algorithms and visualization methods that allow to perceive information in a more accurate way. Thereby, reasoning relies more and more on the given situation within a smart manufacturing environment, namely the context. Current general Visual Analytics approaches only provide a vague definition of context. We introduce in this paper a model that specifies the context in Visual Analytics for Smart Manufacturing. Additionally, our model bridges the latest advances in research on Smart Manufacturing and Visual Analytics. We combine and summarize methodologies, algorithms and specifications of both vital research fields with our previous findings and fuse them together. As a result, we propose our novel industry 4.0-ready Visual Analytics model for context-aware diagnosis in Smart Manufacturing.},

Emerging and decreasing technological trends could lead to strengthening the competitiveness and market positioning. The exploration, detection and identification of such trends can be essentially supported through information visualization, trend mining and in particular through the combination of those. Commonly, trends appear first in science and scientific documents. However, those documents do not provide sufficient information for analyzing and identifying emerging trends. It is necessary to enrich data, extract information from the integrated data, measure the gradient of trends over time and provide effective interactive visualizations. We introduce in this paper an approach for integrating, enriching, mining, analyzing, identifying and visualizing emerging trends from scientific documents. Our approach enhances the state of the art in visual trend analytics by investigating the entire analysis process and providing an approach for enabling human to explore undetected potentially emerging trends.},
