A benchmark for trustworthy clinical AI
A new study published in Nature Communications shows that today's pathology foundation models can be influenced by the origin of a tissue sample. Researchers at BIFOLD and Aignostics developed PathoROB, a first-of-its-kind benchmark to measure and reduce this bias, shaping how the next generation of pathology AI is built.
Photo recap: LNDW 2026
On June 6, 2026, four members of the Berlin AI Square (BIFOLD, PTB, DFKI, and Fraunhofer HHI) joined forces at the Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften to showcase what the network achieves: an interactive LLM workshop and a well-attended Science Slam.
EVENTS
07/2026 BIFOLD Colloquium
Gustavo Alonso, full professor at the Department of Computer Science at ETH Zürich, will talk about the role that data streaming plays in architecture and system design, especially in the context of heterogeneous architectures.
08/2026 BIFOLD Colloquium
Alkis Simitsis, Research Director at Athena Research Center, examines how user-defined functions extend SQL's expressiveness and how modern systems optimize and execute them at high performance through compilation, vectorization, parallelization, and heterogeneous accelerators.
*Data collected from 2020 onwards.
OPPORTUNITIES
BIFOLD welcomes job applications from interested parties year-round.
