The Hidden Domino Effect
A team of BIFOLD researchers discovered that foundation models such as GPT, Llama, CLIP etc., trained by unsupervised learning methods, often produce compromised representations from which instances can be correctly predicted, although only supported by data artefacts. In a Nature Machine Intelligence publication the researchers propose an explainable AI technique that is able to detect the false prediction strategies.
Data Systems Retreat
For the first time, researchers from four data systems groups at BIFOLD and TU Berlin came together for a joint offsite retreat in Wandlitz. This unique gathering fostered collaboration, networking, and idea exchange among experts, marking a milestone in interdisciplinary research.
EVENTS
HFMI Community Meeting
In May 2024, the Helmholtz Association took a significant step in advancing artificial intelligence research by launching its Foundation Model Initiative. This ambitious program aims to support the development of foundation models for groundbreaking scientific research.
BIFOLD Talk
Bo Zhao, tenure-track assistant professor at Aalto University, will discuss co-designing software and system layers to improve the flexibility, scalability, and performance of machine learning. The talk will address key challenges in integrating scalable machine learning layers, distributed data management, and compilation-based optimization.
*Data collected from 2020 onwards.
