TY - JOUR A1 - Geerkens, Simon A1 - Sieberichs, Christian A1 - Braun, Alexander A1 - Waschulzik, Thomas T1 - QI²: an interactive tool for data quality assurance JF - AI and Ethics N2 - The importance of high data quality is increasing with the growing impact and distribution of ML systems and big data. Also, the planned AI Act from the European commission defines challenging legal requirements for data quality especially for the market introduction of safety relevant ML systems. In this paper, we introduce a novel approach that supports the data quality assurance process of multiple data quality aspects. This approach enables the verification of quantitative data quality requirements. The concept and benefits are introduced and explained on small example data sets. How the method is applied is demonstrated on the well-known MNIST data set based an handwritten digits.

Furthermore, the parametric impact with different chimney divergence angles (CDA, ϕ), and ground absorber slope angle (GSA, γ) on the SCPP performance is also scrutinized. Optimum divergence angle (ϕ=+0.75◦) enhances the power generation up to ~ 47% (76 kW) with a horizontal ground absorber surface. An increase or decrease in CDA lessens the power generation. With a sloped ground absorber angle γ=0.6◦, the gain in power generation is 60% (82 kW). The study of combination of ground sloped absorber (γ=0.6◦) and divergent chimney (ϕ=+0.75◦) shows enhancement of the power generation upto 80% (92 kW) more than the classical Manzaranes plant.

In this paper, we present a novel approach for the assurance of data quality. For this purpose, the mathematical basics are first discussed and the approach is presented using multiple examples. This results in the detection of data points with potentially harmful properties for the use in safety-critical systems.

T1 - Cultural tightness–looseness and national innovativeness: impacts of tolerance and diversity of opinion JF - Journal of Innovation and Entrepreneurship N2 - The links between innovativeness as a driver of economic performance, and the determinants of innovativeness have been investigated by management scholars and economists for decades, focusing mostly on “hard factors” as investment in research and development, or education. Focusing on a relatively neglected, but in times of globalization even more important aspect, the infuence of cultural characteristics on innovativeness, we apply diferent econometric models to test for links between cultural tightness and looseness on the one hand, and national innovativeness on the other hand. We fnd that cultural tightness—in the sense of homogenous and intolerant societies—has a negative link to national innovativeness, while cultural looseness—in the sense of tolerant and diverse societies—displays a positive link to national innovativeness.
