LectureChat extends the WikiChat conversational AI system by integrating multilingual university lecture transcripts alongside
Wikipedia content. The demo showcases a dual retrieval architecture that combines structured encyclopedic knowledge with academic lecture
material, leveraging multiple segmentation strategies and cross index reconciliation to improve retrieval quality. The system maintains separate
citation spaces for Wikipedia (numeric) and lectures (alphabetic) and preserves temporal provenance for direct video navigation. We present
the overall architecture, interaction flow, implementation details, and a reproducibility plan.

Guided Acoustic Wave Method for Monitoring of Bone Fracture Healing
Lützelberger, Jan; Link, Eric N.; Drese, Klaus Stefan (2026)
Talk, DAGA - 52. Jahrestagung für Akustik, Dresden, 2026.
Bone fractures represent an increasing medical and social challenge, particularly due to falls and osteoporosis in the elderly. Among these, tibial (shinbone) fractures are the most clinically significant. Proper clinical management requires assessing whether biological healing progresses well and determining when sucient sti ness and stability are regained – for example, to decide when to remove artificial fixation. Currently, fracture healing is mainly monitored through functional tests and X-ray imaging, which involves radiation, is costly, and provides no direct information about the mechanical sti ness of the healing bone. To overcome these limitations, we propose an ultrasonic approach for continuous monitoring the elasticity changes of the fracture regions during the healing process. By evaluating the propagation characteristics of guided acoustic Lamb waves travelling through the fracture region, our method aims to enable tracking of the healing progress and prediction of the remaining healing time. Using phantom materials that replicate various bone anatomies and fracture types, we obtained initial experimental results with a single-element transmitter–receiver ultrasonic setup, showing excellent agreement with theoretical predictions. In future work, we aim to increase the realism of our phantoms by including various soft-tissue layers and to advance both hardware and software toward an integrated medical device.

Initial Parameter Estimation for Non-Linear Optimization – Trigonometric Function
Strutz, Tilo (2026)
TECHP 2026/01, 1-29.
DOI: 10.48550/arXiv.2603.09784
Open Access
Nonlinear optimisation techniques are commonly employed to minimise
complex cost functions, with their effectiveness determined largely by
the structure of the underlying error landscape. These methods require
initial parameter values, and in the presence of multiple local minima,
they are prone to becoming trapped in suboptimal regions. The likelihood
of locating the global minimum increases substantially when the
initialisation lies within its corresponding basin of attraction.
Consequently, high-quality initial parameters are critical for
successful optimisation. This technical report outlines a new strategy
for selecting suitable initial parameters for a trigonometric model and
unevenly sampled data, ensuring that the optimisation procedure starts
sufficiently close to the global minimum. The proposed parameter
estimation approach is strictly NI-based, interpretable, and
explainable. It targets at complicated cases which include: samples with
strong random noise, samples with only few covered periods, and samples
which cover only a fraction of one period. Special attention is put on
the frequency estimation. It can be shown that an estimation of initial
parameters with sufficient accuracy is possible down to a
signal-noise-ratio of 1.4 dB at much lower computational costs than the
Lomb-Scargle-periodogram method requires.
