Alexander Hinneburg

Privatdozent Dr. habil. rer. nat.

Meine Forschung konzentiert sich auf explorative Datenanalyse. Konkret arbeite ich an Methoden zur Cluster- und Themenanalyse und deren Anwendung auf große Datenbanken mit Dokumenten, organischen Molekülen und anderen komplex zusammengesetzten Datenobjekten. Zur Auswertung der Ergebnisse verknüpfe ich Visualisierungstechniken mit maschinellem Lernen.

Seit 2011 bin ich Privatdozent in der Arbeitsgruppe für Datenbanken und Informationssysteme an der Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg. Ich leite die Entwicklung des TopicExplorers, einer Web-Anwendung zur visuellen Datenexploration von großen Dokumentsammlungen mit Themenmodellen.

Ich halte regelmäßig Vorlesungen und Übungen zu Datenbanken, Web-Technologien (Bachelor), Data Mining, Maschinellem Lernen, Information Retrieval und Visualisierung (Master).

Vor meiner Habilitation war ich von 2004-2005 Post-Doktorand an der Universität Helsinki. Meine Promotion erhielt ich 2003 an der Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg.
