    Informed Machine Learning - A Taxonomy and Survey of Integrating Prior Knowledge into Learning Systems
    Despite its great success, machine learning can have its limits when dealing with insufficient training data. A potential solution is the additional integration of prior knowledge into the training process which leads to the notion of informed machine learning. In this paper, we present a structured overview of various approaches in this field. We provide a definition and propose a concept for informed machine learning which illustrates its building blocks and distinguishes it from conventional machine learning. We introduce a taxonomy that serves as a classification framework for informed machine learning approaches. It considers the source of knowledge, its representation, and its integration into the machine learning pipeline. Based on this taxonomy, we survey related research and describe how different knowledge representations such as algebraic equations, logic rules, or simulation results can be used in learning systems. This evaluation of numerous papers on the basis of our taxonomy uncovers key methods in the field of informed machine learning.

    Cognitive Systems and Robotics
    Cognitive systems are able to monitor and analyze complex processes, which also provides them with the ability to make the right decisions in unplanned or unfamiliar situations. Fraunhofer experts are employing machine learning techniques to harness new cognitive functions for robots and automation solutions. To do this, they are equipping systems with technologies that are inspired by human abilities, or imitate and optimize them. This report describes these technologies, illustrates current example applications, and lays out scenarios for future areas of application.

    Kognitive Systeme und Robotik
    Kognitive Systeme können komplexe Prozesse überwachen, analysieren und gewinnen daraus auch die Fähigkeit, in ungeplanten oder unbekannten Situationen richtig zu entscheiden. Fraunhofer-Experten setzen Verfahren des maschinellen Lernens ein, um neue kognitive Funktionen für Roboter und Automatisierungslösungen zu nutzen. Dazu statten sie Systeme mit Technologien aus, die von menschlichen Fähigkeiten inspiriert sind bzw. diese imitieren und optimieren. Der Bericht beschreibt diese Technologien, erläutert aktuelle Anwendungsbeispiele und entwirft Szenarien für zukünftige Anwendungsfelder.
