Sebastian Hönel
Postdoctoral FellowAbout Me
I am currently a postdoctoral researcher and co-Pi in the project In-line visual inspection using unsupervised learning.
- You will find me in building D, room D2254.
- I have a calendar where you can find my public appearances, talks, meetings, office hours, and other public activities at bit.ly/2XY1RZ1.
Teaching
I am usually involved in teaching courses around (Deep) Machine Learning (e.g., 4DV652, 4DV660, 4DV661).
I was previously a teaching assistant in courses for agile product development, both first- and second-level cycles (e.g., 1DV508, 4DV611).
Research
Currently, I do focus on the analysis (e.g., quality), manipulation, and generation of media such as audio, imagery, and video utilizing statistical methods and, most notably, artificial intelligence. In particular, I attempt to apply and improve models for unsupervised and zero-/few-shot learning for the detection of manufacturing defects and other material anomalies.
Previously, I emphasized the usage of Machine- and Deep Learning, Optimization, as well as distributed computing for the analysis, calibration, and optimization of models that are related to software applications and -processes. I was (and still am) interested in obtaining quantitative data from software evolutionary processes and applying it through models used for the greater goal of organizational learning.

Hönel, S. (2019). 359,569 commits with source code density; 1149 commits of which have software maintenance activity labels (adaptive, corrective, perfective).
This dataset comes as SQL-importable file and is compatible with the widely available MariaDB- and MySQL-databases.
It is based on (and incorporates/extends) the dataset "1151 commits with software maintenance activity labels (corrective,perfective,adaptive)" by Levin and Yehudai (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.835534).
The extensions to this dataset were obtained using Git-Tools, a tool that is included in the Git-Density (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.2565238) suite. For each of the projects in the original dataset, Git-Tools was run in extended mode.
