The hunt for symmetry. Two million euro research prize for Kaiserslautern computer scientist
(PresseBox) - Dr. Pascal Schweitzer, professor of computer science at the Technische Universit
Being able to detect symmetry in large and complex data systems is becoming increasingly important in modern computing. ?Symmetries are absolutely everywhere?, says Schweitzer, who researches algorithms and complexity at the Technische Universit
Schweitzer deals with these phenomena in his research and develops theoretical models for this purpose. The European Union is now funding his project ?EngageS: Next Generation Algorithms for Grabbing and Exploiting Symmetries? with an ERC Grant - one of the most prestigious research awards in Europe.
Over the next five years, the computer scientist wants to develop a theoretical model to explore the limits of algorithms that detect symmetries in databases, software, neural networks and the like. Schweitzer explains that for complex arithmetic operations or large amounts of data, symmetries are not immediately apparent to users. ?They can take on forms or facets that are extremely difficult to detect,? he says. ?But if we develop fast algorithms for detecting and exploiting these patterns, this will drastically improve computation times in the future.?
In addition to a theoretical model, the computer scientist wants to develop software that should be freely available online. ?Users will be able to use up-to-date software to detect and evaluate symmetries,? says the professor.
Schweitzer anticipates close cooperation with Kaiserslautern mathematics professors Dr. Gunter Malle and Dr. Wolfram Decker from the Collaborative Research Center (SFB) ?Symbolic Tools in Mathematics and their Application?. He says there are important linkages between symmetry detection and group theory that can help advance the respective research areas.
