Whether in image recognition, the detection of dynamic environments, the transition to a more flexible production process, or the simulation of possible side effects of drugs – deep neural networks deliver impressive results. But they require large amounts of training data, extremely powerful infrastructure, and energy-intensive computing operations. In the project ENGAGE – NExt GeNeration ComputinG Environments for Artificial IntelliGEnce, the French national computer science institute [...]
After two years of digital teaching due to the Corona pandemic, Computer Science at Saarland University will restart with face-to-face teaching in the summer semester of 2022. At the start of the semester, the students of the computer science programs were welcomed at various welcome events. In addition, the computer science students’ representative council again presented its “Busy Beaver Award” for outstanding commitment to teaching.
Open Diffix is an MPI-SWS-supported open software project to develop strong but usable data anonymization. Open Diffix is built on the data anonymization technology Diffix, which has been developed in a research partnership between the group of Paul Francis and Aircloak GmbH. Open Diffix recently released its first tool, „Diffix for Desktop“. Designed with extreme ease-of-use in mind, Diffix for Desktop can be used by non-experts to safely release sensitive data to the public. Diffix for Desktop [...]
