Eva Weig and her team are building mechanical quantum sensors large enough to be seen under an electron microscope. One day, they could become fundamental components of a new quantum technology.
How can automated driving in severe weather be made more safe? Doctoral candidate Mohamed Mofeed Chaar is using machine learning to achieve the vision of accident-free road traffic.
How do artificial neural networks and the algorithms derived from them reach correct decisions? And how can this be understood? Gitta Kutyniok, a mathematician, explores the mystery of artificial intelligence.
What is the shortest route to the next stop or the agreed meeting point? Global positioning systems (GPS) have become a routine part of everyday life for most people. Until now, however, the minimum number of GPS satellites needed to determine the exact position of a mobile phone or other navigation device has remained a matter of conjecture. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) have now proved that a precise location can be determined in most cases with five or more satellites. At present, we can generally be sure of having contact to only four satellites.
Neural networks are easily disrupted by adversarial attacks. Scientists at the University of Würzburg and the Technical University of Munich are now developing new methods to make these systems more robust.
An Emmy Noether junior research group funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and led by mathematician Professor Stefan Glock from the University of Passau investigates the mathematical foundations of the structures that form the basis of the digital world: Network structures that go to infinity.
Professors from India pass on their financial know-how to Master students in Coburg: The English-taught MBA program Financial Management has brought in two experts from BIM Trichy, a university in Southern India as guest professors for the first time in the summer semester of 2024 to teach different approaches to business valuation incorporating Bloomberg applications.
- Prof. Angela Schoellig has proved that large language models can be used safely in robotics. - ChatGPT develops choreographies for up to nine flying robots performing to selected music. - An additional algorithm guarantees that the drones will fly safely.
A research group at the University of Würzburg develops fundamental methods for analyzing music with the help of machine learning. The project is led by Professor Christof Weiß at the Center for Artificial Intelligence and Data Science (CAIDAS).
Young people in Germany are less proficient in mathematics, reading and science as compared to 2018. This is revealed in the new PISA study. Around one third of the 15-year-olds tested achieved only a very low level of proficiency in at least one of the three subjects. The results confirmed a downward trend already in evidence in the preceding PISA studies. The mathematics and reading scores of German students are only at OECD average levels. They remain above that level only in natural sciences.
