Antonio Krüger, professor of computer science at Saarland University and managing director of the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence, received together with Matthias Böhmer (former DFKI, now Prof. FH Köln), Brent Hecht (Northwestern University, Evanston), Johannes Schöning (former DFKI, now Prof. St. Gallen University) and Gernot Bauer (FH Münster)…
Computer scientists at Saarland University have developed a method that lets diesel drivers check in real time the levels of exhaust gases their car emits. For this, only the free app "LolaDrives" and an inexpensive Bluetooth adapter for reading out the car's diagnostic system are needed. The app was developed…
Press release of the State Chancellery of Saarland The CLAIRE initiative (Confederation of Laboratories for Artificial Intelligence Research in Europe) and with it also the DFKI as co-founder of CLAIRE were awarded today with the "German AI Prize" for outstanding merits in research and development as well as application and…
Equipping computers with world knowledge has been a dream of artificial intelligence for decades, thought to be unattainable. Until the mid-2000s, knowledge bases were constructed manually, so they were very limited in their content coverage. With the YAGO project, Weikum and his team made a breakthrough in algorithmically building large…
Software developers spend a large part of their working time reading into existing programs and program code. Anyone who wants to know what goes on in his or her brain during this process can now take part in a joint study by Saarland University, the Leibniz Institute for Neurobiology, Chemnitz…
