How do industrial control systems react to disturbances? To analyze the reaction to a particular type of disturbance, caused by computational errors, Saarbrücken computer science professor Martina Maggio, in collaboration with researchers from Lund University in Sweden, has developed a new approach which outperforms previous testing methods. Their new approach can reveal that a control system may not be as robust as it was assumed to be, based on previous benchmarks. For their work, the research [...]
Knowledge and skills in the field of computer science and digital media are among the key qualifications in the digitalized world – making them increasingly important for children and young people. For the 2023/24 school year, the Ministry of Education and Culture (MBK) is therefore planning to introduce the mandatory subject of computer science for all students starting in grade 7 at community schools and high schools. An expert forum is to develop guidelines for the concrete design of the [...]
Many are familiar with it from medicine: To measure bio-signals such as the heartbeat or muscle contractions, sensor electrodes have to be placed on the skin. Until now, this has been a task for experts, because the quality of the measurements obtained depends largely on the correct positioning of these electrodes. Computer scientists at Saarland University have developed a method that automates this process for a specific body zone with just a few mouse clicks – and at the same time is faster [...]
Research often generates huge amounts of data that can only be analyzed with a lot of computing power. These include imaging processes such as tomography in materials science, genome sequencing in medicine or machine learning in many areas of artificial intelligence. The German Federal-State National High Performance Computing Program („Bund-Länder- Programm zum Nationalen Hochleistungsrechnen” (NHR))“ is intended to build up the necessary computing capacities and the corresponding [...]
It’s pizza night. You’re standing in the kitchen, hands full of flour, wondering, “How much water needs to go into the dough again?” You don’t really want to touch your cookbook or tablet with dirty fingers to look it up. It would be much nicer to be able to simply ask the question and receive the answer from a computer via voice output. This is exactly the kind of interactive cookbook that Saarland University computational linguistics professor Alexander Koller wants to develop. This involves solving numerous interesting research questions in his field.
