Research

As part of the Hessian government research funding program LOEWE (national campaign to develop scientific and economic excellence), the  Center  for Advanced Security Research Darmstadt (CASED) has been encouraged. The department of computer science is lead by Prof. Johannes Buchmann. In addition, a number of other professors and staff of the department are active at CASED.

In this project, important principles and IT security solutions are developed for practical use. Through the broad expertise in topics and skills particularly complex projects can be implemented efficiently and effectively. The Darmstadt IT Security Cluster is open to new members who want to directly benefit from the cooperation within the cluster.

The interdisciplinary  Research Center "Digital Humanities" is funded by the Hessian excellence program "Landes-Offensive zur Entwicklung Wissenschaftlich-ökonomischer Exzellenz" (LOEWE).

It offers a new empirical basis for digitalized, research-relevant content. This creates a foundation for scientific-methodical advances that have not been possible before. The central focus of the LOEWE is the creation, evaluation and implementation of analysis- and annotation procedures for historic and modern corpora. This data from various humanities and cultural divisions should be critically investigated, concerning the effects on the participating disciplines.

The Research Center itself is divided into several research areas: Historical corpora, contemporary corpora, archives and picture-picture/text associations. UKP Lab leads the research area "Contemporary Corpora", which is of special interest to computational linguists.
