Abstract: A method for validating a test data set for a computer-based machine learning module that contains at least one model. The method includes receiving first and second test data sets for the at least one model; calculating a degree of overutilization of the first test data set using the second test data set, wherein the degree of overutilization characterizes whether the first test data set is useful for evaluating the performance of the at least one model; classifying the first test data set as suitable for the subsequent evaluation of the at least one model if the degree of overutilization of the first test data set satisfies a predefined data set criterion, and otherwise, classifying the first test data set as not suitable for the subsequent evaluation of the at least one model.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cutter for self-adhesive linerless endless tape labels, said cutter comprising a transport roller, which is rotatable about an axis of rotation, and a blade unit that comprises a blade carriage, which is linearly travelable in parallel with the axis of rotation of the transport roller, and a cutting blade that is rotationally fixedly held at the blade carriage and that is directed in the direction toward the transport roller, wherein the endless tape labels can be led between the transport roller and the blade unit. The blade unit comprises a blade holder that forms an assembly with the cutting blade, in which assembly the cutting blade projects with a fixed overhang over the blade holder, with the assembly being displaceably fastened to the blade carriage and a spring device, in particular a compression spring, being provided that preloads the assembly into an extended position.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and to a device for performing a process (P) having at least one heat-consuming process step (F).

Abstract: A method and system are disclosed for monitoring passengers in within a cabin of a vehicle and determining whether the passengers are engaging in abnormal behavior. The method and system uses a novel vector to robustly and numerically represent the activity of the passengers in a respective frame, which is referred to herein as an “activity vector.” Additionally, a Gaussian Mixture Model is utilized by the method and system to distinguish between normal and abnormal passenger behavior. Cluster components of the Gaussian Mixture Model are advantageously learned using an unsupervised approach in which training data is not labeled or annotated to indicate normal and abnormal passenger behavior. In this way, the Gaussian Mixture Model can be trained at a very low cost.
