abstract="In the last decade, machine translation has become a popular means to deal with multilingual digital content. By providing higher quality translations, obfuscating the source language of a text becomes more attractive. In this paper, we analyze the ability to detect the source language from the translated output of two widely used commercial machine translation systems by utilizing machine-learning algorithms with basic textual features like n-grams. Evaluations show that the source language can be reconstructed with high accuracy for documents that contain a sufficient amount of translated text. In addition, we analyze how the document size influences the performance of the prediction, as well as how limiting the set of possible source languages improves the classification accuracy.",

abstract="As job ads are getting more prevalent online, an automated analysis is becoming increasingly important, especially in the field of human resource management. In this paper, we propose an approach to automatically segment job ads by predefined categories like the description of a job or the offering company, which is needed to categorize and quantify different aspects of job ads. Using a manually annotated data set, textual features are extracted for each segment type in a first step and utilized to train state-of-the-art machine learning classification methods. Subsequently, these models are used by iterative algorithms to detect the individual segments. Using several optimization techniques like detecting typical segment start phrases, comprehensive evaluations show promising results.",

abstract = {When we appreciate a piece of music, it is most naturally because of its content, including rhythmic, tonal, and timbral elements as well as its lyrics and semantics. This suggests that the human affinity for music is inherently content-driven. This kind of information is, however, still frequently neglected by mainstream recommendation models based on collaborative filtering that rely solely on user-item interactions to recommend items to users. A major reason for this neglect is the lack of standardized datasets that provide both collaborative and content information. The work at hand addresses this shortcoming by introducing Music4All-Onion, a large-scale, multi-modal music dataset. The dataset expands the Music4All dataset by including 26 additional audio, video, and metadata characteristics for 109,269 music pieces. In addition, it provides a set of 252,984,396 listening records of 119,140 users, extracted from the online music platform Last.fm, which allows leveraging user-item interactions as well. We organize distinct item content features in an onion model according to their semantics, and perform a comprehensive examination of the impact of different layers of this model (e.g., audio features, user-generated content, and derivative content) on content-driven music recommendation, demonstrating how various content features influence accuracy, novelty, and fairness of music recommendation systems. In summary, with Music4All-Onion, we seek to bridge the gap between collaborative filtering music recommender systems and content-centric music recommendation requirements.},

abstract = {We present the Height Optimized Trie (HOT), a fast and space-efficient in-memory index structure. The core algorithmic idea of HOT is to dynamically vary the number of bits considered at each node, which enables a consistently high fanout and thereby good cache efficiency. For a fixed maximum node fanout, the overall tree height is minimal and its structure is deterministically defined. Multiple carefully engineered node implementations using SIMD instructions or lightweight compression schemes provide compactness and fast search and optimize HOT structures for different usage scenarios. Our experiments, which use a wide variety of workloads and data sets, show that HOT outperforms other state-of-the-art index structures for string keys both in terms of search performance and memory footprint, while being competitive for integer keys.},
