We are delighted to announce that our student, Daria Gurtovoy, received the Grace-Hopper-Award for her Bachelor thesis from the Computer Science Institute of the University of Bonn on 01.07.2022.
In her bachelor thesis entitled “Linking Street Names in OpenStreetMap to Persons in Knowledge Graphs”, written in collaboration with the Data Science and Intelligent Systems research group (DSIS) in the context of the DFG-funded project “WorldKG”, Daria has developed a novel approach for interlinking streets in OpenStreetMap and persons giving names to these streets in the Wikidata knowledge graph.
Her approach achieved significant improvements compared to the baselines and established over 180,000 links for the streets in Germany. The linking approach developed in her bachelor thesis was presented as a poster at the ACM Web Conference 2022.
We congratulate Daria and wish her all the best for her future studies and research.
