Master’s Thesis: Explainability in Hate Speech Detection

Finally! After a lot of work and especially a lot of stress during this summer, I was able to finish my master thesis and with it my master’s degree in business informatics. At the Technical University of Vienna, you do not get “MSc” as a title but “DiplomingenieurIn”, in short Dipl.-Ing. or DI.

The thesis itself compares modern deep-learning hate speech detection systems with rule-based hate speech detection systems, and analyzes the performance and also the explainability of those. I chose the topic because I am also pretty interested in chatbots (awesome what OpenAI’s ChatGPT can do!) but I did not have a lot of NLP (Natural Language Processing) experience beforehand. Thankfully, I learned a lot during this thesis and now I understand state-of-the-art NLP! Download it here:

Halloween Special 2021

It’s time again! For this end of October, MX wakes up in a strange facility where they do something with computers and education… I think it is called distance learning. But again, there are strange equation papers on the floor and I think those who played the other Super MX Halloween Specials might already know where this is going 🗒️…

Happy Halloween 🎃!

Migration From HTTP to HTTPS and a new Domain

Websites with user input should definitely use HTTPS. Since 2014, Google uses HTTPS as a ranking signal. Therefore, even with static websites like the one from my uncle, a migration pays off. We took advantage of the situation to also switch to a more meaningful domain, and with the help of World4You, this was done in two days. After that, I was able to get the full old website http://ernst-reichel.at running with HTTPS on https://autospengler-ernst-reichel.at. Now, users are calmed down because Browsers display the site as secure, and nobody can spy on the customers looking for spare parts or repairs. Each legacy site can be migrated!

TLD 1.2 Update

Hello everyone, I hope all of you are starting in a better March than last year! With the end of February, we are releasing The Last Dimension 1.2, making the game more content-rich and appealing!

Apart from the two new levels “The Nature of Code” and “Kuiper Storm”, their new soundtracks and their two new powerup types (feel free to explore them yourself 🙂 ), we have worked hard to improve the graphics of the fractal engine of TLD, so spawning fractal parts are faded in smoothly and powerup effects are even cooler. Level balancing is also tweaked constantly.

Remember this powerup?

We hope that you enjoy the update and are looking forward to hearing your feedback! Best wishes,

Markus and Sebi
