Starting next winter semester, students will be able to enrol on the new Master's degree programme in Quantum Information Theory (QIT) at Saarland University. The M.Sc. programme, which is taught in English, allows students to acquire knowledge and skills at the intersection of mathematics, computer science and physics – equipping…
Artificial intelligence (AI) and digital tools are becoming increasingly indispensable in chemistry research laboratories and in industry. At Saarland University, two researchers from chemistry and computer science are working together to develop a teaching concept that will introduce chemistry students to data-driven methods early on in their studies and equip…
How do software developers respond when they come across code they do not intuitively understand? Neuropsychologists have now explored this question by recording brain activity alongside eye movements. A team of psycholinguists then compared the findings with established patterns from natural language processing and identified some surprising parallels. The interdisciplinary…
The Saarland Ministry of Economic Affairs, in cooperation with the Saarland Informatics Campus, has presented the Journalism Prize for Informatics. The German Informatics Society is a partner of the prize. The main prizes were awarded to a radio feature by Austrian Broadcasting (ORF), an article from the magazine "c’t –…
Whether guiding robots across factory floors or managing complex logistics operations, AI systems designed for automated planning can solve such problems. Earlier planning systems relied largely on symbolic techniques such as logic. In recent years, however, more and more methods from machine learning have been integrated to improve system performance.…
