Interactive Clustering

• Jian-Jia Chen
• Raphael Fischer (TU Dortmund University)

Room: JvF25/3-302 - Co-Working Space Yes, you read correctly - we will do clustering. High-dimensional, highly personalized with yet to be discovered distance metrics. In all seriousness: We hope to do some interactive clustering with post-its on the whiteboard that will (hopefully) lead to nice discussions on your research ideas and topics.

2026 pitches

• Jian-Jia Chen

Room: JvF25/3-302 - Co-Working Space You were asked to prepare 1 slide on your research plans for 2026. Now its the time to get them out and present them!

Clustered-Dating

• Jian-Jia Chen
• Raphael Fischer (TU Dortmund University)

Room: JvF25/3-302 - Co-Working Space You have put in a lot of work to cluster yourselves the day before, and now it's time to capitalize on it! Dont worry: This is about research only - we do not expect you to find a new life partner. Although it might be a nice success story for Lamarr....

Idea building

• Raphael Fischer (TU Dortmund University)
• Jian-Jia Chen

Room: JvF25/3-302 - Co-Working Space Now that you (hopefully) have found your research partner, its time to double-down. We ask you to form small groups with 2-N people in which you build a more concrete research idea. This can be a paper idea, a project proposal, or just some random idea that you want to quickly try out. Try to come up with a short pitch of a) What you want to do b) How you want to do it c) What the timeline is d) (optional) What resources you need to achieve it

Idea pitches

• Jian-Jia Chen

Room: JvF25/3-302 - Co-Working Space Well, those ideas are not going to present themselves. So its time to pitch them to the group :-)
