Volume 3 describes how the resource-aware machine learning methods and techniques are used to successfully solve real-world problems. The book provides numerous specific application examples. In the areas of health and medicine, it is demonstrated how machine learning can improve risk modelling, diagnosis, and treatment selection for diseases. Machine learning supported quality control during the manufacturing process in a factory allows to reduce material and energy cost and save testing times is shown by the diverse real-time applications in electronics and steel production as well as milling. Additional application examples show, how machine-learning can make traffic, logistics and smart cities more effi cient and sustainable. Finally, mobile communications can benefi t substantially from machine learning, for example by uncovering hidden characteristics of the wireless channel.
Jörg Rahnenführer: Prof. Dr. Jörg Rahnenführer is professor for "Statistical methods in genetics and chemometrics" at the Department of Statistics at TU Dortmund University. After obtaining a PhD in mathematics from the University of Düsseldorf he worked as a postdoc in Vienna, Berkeley, Omaha, and at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics in Saarbrücken. The respective departments covered a wide range of fields, including mathematics, statistics, biostatistics, genetics, and computer science. His group at TU Dortmund develops and applies in interdisciplinary projects statistical methods mainly for applications in bioinformatics, toxicology, and medicine. He has particularly worked successfully on the meaningful exploitation of high-dimensional omics data and as a member of the SFB 876 on hyperparameter optimization in statistical learning methods. Since 2021 he is the spokesperson of the DFG-funded Research Training Group (RTG) 2624 "Biostatistical Methods for High-Dimensional Data in Toxicology".
