Rethinking how models "see"
Congratulations to BIFOLD researchers Tom Burgert, Oliver Stoll, and Begüm Demir from TU Berlin, and Paolo Rota from the University of Trento. They published a new study, that revisits a central claim in computer vision: so-called convolutional neural networks (CNNs) primarily rely on texture, rather than object shape, to recognize images. The publication was accepted as an oral presentation at NeurIPS 2025.
Photo recap: AI in Medicine Workshop
Charité and BIFOLD hosted the “AI in Medicine” workshop in Berlin (Nov 24 - 25, 2025), bringing together leading experts on clinical AI, gene regulation modelling, medical LLMs and explainable AI to foster interdisciplinary collaboration between research and clinical practice.
EVENTS
Predictive Systems Medicine Partnering Event
Join on December 4, 2025, at the Max Delbrück Center, Berlin-Buch Campus, for a unique opportunity to connect, collaborate, and innovate at the intersection of research and industry.
TÜV AICon 2025
At AICon 2025, experts from industry, politics, and science will discuss how the use of AI can be made safe, trustworthy, and economically successful.
The program on two stages offers keynotes, panels, and partner sessions on topics such as GenAI, regulation, testing, and AI sovereignty—with networking opportunities on site and a livestream of the Blue Stage for online participants.
*Data collected from 2020 onwards.
