Researcher Aykut, Tamay Name of Research Group: Visual Computing and Artificial Intelligence Homepage Research Group: www.tamay-aykut.com Personal Homepage: www.tamay-aykut.com Mentor Saarbrücken: Hans-Peter Seidel Mentor Stanford: Bernd Girod Research Mission: The VCAI group is involved in cutting-edge research for visual computing by means of artificial intelligence. A key priority is to promote visual realism in remote reality/ telepresence applications to the human user. 3D impression is achieved by providing omnidirectional (360°) stereo vision. The user is thereby...

Researcher Markus Steinberger GPU Scheduling and Parallel Computing Name of Research Group: GPU Scheduling and Parallel Computing Personal Homepage: www.markussteinberger.net/ Mentor Saarbrücken: Hans-Peter Seidel Research Mission: While Moore’s Law continues, increases in clock speed have been stagnant due to physical obstacles. Thus, hardware and software have turned towards parallelism as an answer to keep up with the ever growing demand for more compute power. The probably highest degree of parallelism within a single chip is found on the modern graphics processing unit (GPU)....

Researcher Sören Pirk Geometric Modelling Name of Research Group: Geometric Modelling Personal Homepage: www.pirk.info Mentor Saarbrücken: Hans-Peter Seidel Mentor Stanford: Leonidas Guibas Research Mission: Geometric modeling is one of the fundamental areas of research in Computer Graphics. While this field has dramatically evolved since the very beginning, capturing and modeling geometric descriptions of everyday objects still pose interesting and challenging questions. Modeling the geometry of an object by hand is an elaborate task that easily requires hours of manual...

Researcher Dr. Renjie Chen Images and Geometry Name of Research Group: Images and Geometry Personal Homepage: staff.ustc.edu.cn/~renjiec/ Research Mission: As its core mission, computer graphics endeavors to deliver natural-looking and convincing graphic contents, such as images, videos and 3D models for various applications, including design, entertainment, education, simulation, etc. In many cases, “natural-looking” can be interpreted as low distortion with respect to some reference. Depending on the application, the distortion can be measured as the amount of feature stretching,...

Researcher Vera Demberg Cognitive Models of Human Language Processing and their Application to Dialogue Systems Research Mission: My research interests are centered on computational models of human language processing. Within the cluster, Vera plans to investigate how discourse cues can be used to make text easier to understand for humans, and particularly focuses on integrating results from psycholinguistic research with text planning and generation in human-computer interaction systems. Since summer 2016 I hold the Chair of Computer Science and Computational Linguistics at Saarland...
