BIFOLD - Berlin Institute for the Foundations of Learning and Data

Thanks a lot to Prof. Dr. Enrico Magli from Politecnico di Torino, Italy, for the great BIFOLD Colloquium today! He discussed the scenario of Edge-AI and recent developments in the fields of AI-based compression and inference. Among other things he described a new compression algorithm outperforming the most recent CCSDS standards, and a new architecture leveraging self-supervised learning to achieve state-of-the-art inference accuracy while requiring a limited set of labeled training data. 👏 Great Lecture!

Big News from the Lamarr Institute! 🔔 We're excited to share a new blog post on our #MLBlog, reflecting on the significance of the 2024 #NobelPrize in Physics awarded to John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton. 🌟  In this post, we explore why honoring these pioneers of artificial neural networks marks a historic moment for both AI and physics. 🤝 📚 What’s even more remarkable is that the Nobel Committee recognized a key publication involving our very own researchers. This work, in collaboration with the #IceCube neutrino detector project, resulted in the first neutrino image of the Milky Way 🌌, achieved with the contributions of our founding director Katharina Morik, our Area Chair Physics Wolfgang Rhode and Lamarr Alumni Dr. Mirco Hünnefeld. This acknowledgment not only highlights Lamarr’s critical role in advancing AI research but also showcases how our institute bridges #physics and #AI to drive scientific breakthroughs. ✨ 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dqd2RFTp #WeAreLamarr

During the #DigitalSummit2024, the director of ScaDS.AI Dresden/Leipzig, Prof. Erhard Rahm, gave an interview to MDR AKTUELL on the progress of digitalisation in Germany. 👉 Watch the full interview here: https://lnkd.in/ejfBrz7z

Three BIFOLD graduate students participate in the "Machine-Learning-Based Sampling in Lattice Field Theory and Quantum Chemistry" workshop from October 21-25, 2024: Winfried Ripken, Khaled Kahouli, and Johannes Maeß. The workshop will be hosted by the Bethe Center for Theoretical Physics in Bonn, Germany. Two of the four workshop organizers have connections to BIFOLD: Dr. Kim A. Nicoli (The University of Bonn) is a BIFOLD alumnus, and Dr. Shinichi Nakajima (Technische Universität Berlin) is a research group lead at BIFOLD. The event aims to bring together leading researchers to address key challenges in generative machine-learning models, including scalability, interpretability, and uncertainty estimation.

Wir sind als Partnerinstitution mittendrin! 💡 Interaktiver Workshop 📅 02.11.2024 um 14 Uhr 📍Museum für Naturkunde Berlin “Der virtuelle Ozean des Wissens - Eintauchen in die Zukunft der Wissensvermittlung” Hier erfahrt Ihr, wie virtuelle #Realitäten und #künstliche #Intelligenz die Zukunft der Wissensvermittlung verändern können. Gemeinsam entwickeln wir immersive #Zukunftsvisionen und erarbeiten, wie der Austausch zwischen Forschung und Gesellschaft in Zukunft aussehen könnte. Ganz wichtig dabei: Spaß, Kreativität und Austausch stehen im Mittelpunkt! 🔗 https://lnkd.in/ebm8ZSMN #BerlinScienceWeek24 #VirtuelleRealität #KI #Workshop #WissKomm

Auch dieses Jahr habe ich zum Magazin "Frauen machen Informatik" beitragen dürfen. Mein Artikel "Unpacking Large Language Models: Grundlagen, Perspektiven und Herausforderungen" erklärt die grundlegende Funktionsweise von LLMs und Methoden die Systemen wie ChatGPT erlauben auf externe Dokumente und Anwendungen zuzugreifen (RAG und Tool Use). Dabei gehe ich auch auf einige Fehlannahmen und im Kontext von LLMs irreführende aber oft verwendete Begrifflichkeiten ein, wie der der "Halluzination".
