Do computers and humans "see" alike?
The field of computer vision has long since left the realm of research and is now used in countless daily applications, such as object recognition and measuring geometric structures of objects. One question that is not or only rarely asked is: To what extent do computer vision systems see the world in the same way that humans do?
Simulation of complex quantum systems
An international team of BIFOLD scientists together with scientists from the Université du Luxembourg and Google has now successfully developed a machine learning algorithm to simulate complex quantum system.
Machine Learning and Security
Welcome to Prof. Dr. Konrad Rieck, who heads the new workgroup Machine Learning and Security at BIFOLD and TU Berlin and started January 1, 2023.
Special honor for Georgios Smaragdakis
ACM names BIFOLD Fellow Prof. Dr. Georgios Smaragdakis as ACM Distinguished Member "For Outstanding Scientific Contributions to Computing".
Detecting Visual Elements in Historical Documents
Historians are increasingly in need of digital tools to process and extract information from electronic copies of historical sources. BIFOLD scientists developed YOLO (You Only Look Once).
AI facilitates breakthrough in cancer diagnostics
So-called sinonasal undifferentiated carcinomas (SNUCs) are extremely difficult to diagnose. An interdisciplinary team of researchers has developed an AI tool that reliably distinguishes tumors on the basis of chemical DNA modifications
DSP Best Paper Prize
BIFOLD researchers Prof. Klaus-Robert Müller, Prof. Wojciech Samek and Prof. Grégoire Montavon were honored by the journal Digital Signal Processing (DSP) with the 2022 Best Paper Prize. The DSP mention of excellence highlights important research findings published within the last five years.
Software Campus grant for two BIFOLD PhD students
Two BIFOLD PhD students, Lennart Behme and Haralampos Gavriilidis, have been awarded a Software Campus 2022 grant to conduct their own research projects as junior research leads. The Software Campus (SWC), funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), is an executive development program aimed at shaping tomorrow’s senior IT executives.
Cybersecurity under scrutiny
In cybersecurity research, machine learning (ML) has emerged as one of the most important tools for investigating security-related problems: However, a group of European researchers from TU Berlin, TU Braunschweig, University College London, King’s College London, Royal Holloway University of London, and Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT)/KASTEL Security Research Labs, led by BIFOLD researchers from TU Berlin, have shown recently that research with ML in cybersecurity contexts is often prone to error.
ACM honors Volker Markl
The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) is the world's first and largest educational and scientific computing society. Once a month, the category "People of ACM" highlights the unique scientific accomplishments and compelling personal attributes of ACM members who are making a difference in advancing computing as a science. Featured ACM member in October 2022 is the head of the Database Systems and Information Management group at TU Berlin and BIFOLD Co-Director Prof. Dr. Volker Markl.
