IEEE SaTML 2025 Conference Contribution
Dr. Thorsten Eisenhofer will present the paper “Verifiable and Provably Secure Machine Unlearning,” at SaTML 2025. Eisenhofer is Postdoc in the research group “Machine Learning and Security”. His paper introduces a new framework designed to verify that user data has been correctly deleted from machine learning models, supported by cryptographic proofs.

Researcher Spotlight: Lorenz Vaitl
Dr. Lorenz Vaitl defended his PhD in the field of Machine Learning, focusing on optimizing the simulation of quantum fields. His doctoral thesis, "Path Gradient Estimators for Normalizing Flows," explores how machine learning techniques can accelerate data-intensive simulations, which are crucial for understanding fundamental physical phenomena.
EVENTS
Lunchtalk: Towards Data Integration On-Demand
Join us for our Lunch Talk in April 2025. Luca Zecchini from the Data Integration and Data Preparation group will talk about “Towards Data Integration On-Demand” presenting his research in the scope of deduplication and dataset discovery, fostering on-demand use of available resources and shifting data integration towards a task-driven paradigm.
BIFOLD-HEIBRiDS Lecture
As part of the BIFOLD–HEIBRiDS cooperation, a joint talk will take place on April 29. Prof. Stephanie Brandl (University of Copenhagen) will speak on “Natural Language Processing in Times of ChatGPT.”
*Data collected from 2020 onwards.
