Dr. Robert Stahlbock

Ein Schwerpunkt meiner Forschungsinteressen ist der Bereich der Informationssysteme, Datenanalyse (Data Science) und die Anwendung von bioanalogen Algorithmen (künstliche Neuronale Netze, evolutionäre Algorithmen) sowie auch Support-Vektor-Maschinen zur Lösung von Wirtschaftsprognosen, Problemen und Klassifikationsaufgaben zur Unterstützung von Management-Entscheidungen.

Neben der Problemmodellierung ist das Hauptziel die Prüfung und Verbesserung der Effizienz und Leistung von bestehenden Algorithmen. Im Rahmen meiner Doktorarbeit habe ich eine Kombination von evolutionären Algorithmen für die Datenselektion und den Bau von neuronalen Netzen entwickelt und erfolgreich auf ein reales Problem angewendet. Anwendungen von künstlichen neuronalen Netzen (wie Multilayer Perceptron, Lernvektorquantisierung und Probabilistischen Neuronalen Netzen) und ihren evolutionären Designs wurden in Kooperation mit Unternehmen untersucht: Dies geschah - wenn möglich - als Implementierung eines parallelen Algorithmus in einem PC-Netzwerk. Es konnten qualitativ hochwertige Ergebnisse erzielt werden.

Ein weiteres meiner Forschungsgebiete ist die Untersuchung und Anwendung von Methoden des Operations Research zur Lösung von logistischen Problemen bei Maritimen Container-Terminals mit Fokus auf Kran-Planung in einem automatisierten Yard.
