In keeping with a long-standing tradition in Saarbrücken computer science, the student councils of Computer Science and of Language Science and Technology (LST) jointly organized a torchlight procession to honor Professor Doctor Alexander Koller, supported by the Freunde der Saarbrücker Informatik (FdSI) and Friends of LST. The aim was to…
Researchers from Saarland University and the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems have, for the first time, shown that the reactions of humans and large language models (LLMs) to complex or misleading program code significantly align, by comparing brain activity of study participants with model uncertainty. Building on this, the…
We are delighted to announce that the 2025 ACM SIGBED Technical Achievement Award has been awarded to Professor Reinhard Wilhelm of Saarland University. This award, established by ACM SIGBED in 2022, recognizes significant and sustained contributions to research and system implementations in embedded, real-time, and cyber-physical systems. It honors technical…
AI assistants have rapidly become part of everyday life – whether through our interactions with large language models like ChatGPT or in medical applications that help interpret complex datasets. Yet, despite their widespread use, AI systems still make surprisingly simple mistakes that persist even after extensive training. They also lack…
Outstanding research performance in academia is often measured by how frequently a scholar’s work is cited by others. Each year, the ‘Highly Cited Researchers’ list recognizes leading experts in specific fields whose publications are among the most frequently cited worldwide. This year, three researchers from Saarland University have once again…
