Welcome to TechScreen

Welcome to the TechScreen site. This side shall support the exchange of knowledge in the domain of Web Engineering and related aspects. As a side effect, this side is used for research on knowledge management technologies. User can pose challenges in the problem domain and can participate in quizzes. Further a bibliography about arcticles in different related domains is continously extended. Finally, questionnaires on different issues are provided. To be able to participate you need an account and a password from TU Wien's TISS system.

Display a local public transport route by using the Wiener Linien API

OutOfMemoryException when using WEKA 3-6 under Windows 7

Weka is a collection of machine learning algorithms for data mining tasks. This software can be used by students who participate in the class "Machine Learning" at TU Wien. When the Weka-User executes memory-intesitive tasks (e.g. visualizes results of a machine learning algorithm), Weka is very likely to throw an OutOfMemoryException. As a result to the exception the software crashes. This execption is absolutely repeatable. The Weka-User will get the exception at every time he executes the sequence of operations which had previously lead to the exeception.

Login at a website without having to registrate
