Knowledge Graphs - Foundations and Applications (openHPI)

Data Science

Even though it affects our lives every single day, most of us have no idea what a knowledge graph is. Asking Alexa about the weather tomorrow or searching for the latest news on climate change via Google, knowledge graphs constitute the backbone of today’s state-of-the-art information systems. From improving search results over question answering and recommender systems up to explainable AI systems, the applications of knowledge graphs are manyfold. Overall, the goal of this course is to provide a broad overview of knowledge graphs and their underlying technologies as well as their significance in today's digital world.

CS: Information & Technology

Digitalization is a game changer in the pursuit of a sustainable future. The latest digital technologies and applications like cloud, AI, and mobile devices enable us to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals and reduce carbon emissions in many sectors. Yet computer systems themselves have an immense energy requirement for their countless devices, data centers, applications and global networks. To effectively reduce the carbon footprint of digitalization, it is necessary to apply algorithmic efficiency and sustainability by design as guiding principles in digital engineering.

Sicherheit im Internet (openHPI)

Security & Networking

Hackern gelingt es immer wieder, Passwörter zu stehlen, auf sensible Firmen- und Userdaten zuzugreifen und somit schlimmstenfalls ganze Unternehmen lahmzulegen. So vielfältig die Möglichkeiten sind, die das Internet seinen Nutzern bietet, so vielfältig sind auch die Angriffspunkte und potenziellen Gefahren, die vom Internet ausgehen und vielen Menschen noch nicht richtig bewusst sind. In diesem openHPI-Kurs lernen Sie die Grundbegriffe der Internetsicherheit kennen. Warum ist das Internet in seinem Grunddesign unsicher? Welches sind die Schwachstellen des Internets und wie werden diese von Cyberkriminellen ausgenutzt? Diese Fragen werden unter anderem in diesem Kurs beantwortet. Gleichzeitig erhalten Sie einige Tipps, wie Sie sich vor solchen Angriffen schützen können.
