How is the computer science program at Saarland University structured? Which lectures and courses should students attend in their first semester? What exams are scheduled in the first semesters? These and many other questions were answered by the representatives of the computer science programs at Saar University at the hybrid…
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…
