Artificial intelligence today is largely based on statistical methods that search for patterns in large amounts of data. So far, AI cannot recognise causalities, meaning it cannot understand how cause and effect are related in the same way that humans can. Computer science researcher Sara Magliacane wants to change that.…
The Harlan D. Mills Award is the most important international distinction in the field of software engineering, honoring scientists for their lifetime achievements. Andreas Zeller has now received this honor—only the second German to do so. He is a researcher at the Helmholtz Center for IT Security (CISPA) and a…
In space research, crewed missions to the Moon and, in the medium term, to Mars are planned. How longer stays in space affect the human organism is therefore being studied aboard the International Space Station (ISS). A team led by bioinformatician Andreas Keller at Saarland University, together with colleagues from…
With the 2nd Trusted AI Day, Saarbrücken has once again positioned itself as a central meeting place for discourse on trustworthy artificial intelligence. Representatives from research, business, and politics gathered at the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) to discuss current developments, key challenges, and concrete solutions in the…
Sven Apel has been appointed an ACM Fellow. With this distinction, the professor of computer science is being honored for developing theories and methods that enable people to understand, construct, and optimize software systems. Sven Apel is thus one of eleven researchers at the Saarland Informatics Campus to whom this…
