The lectures bridge the gap between the past and current research. Scientists who work in the institutes of the Saarland Informatics Campus will present their current projects and also discuss the history of the respective institute. The lecture series begins with Vera Demberg, who holds a professorship at the Cluster of Excellence. The celebrations for the 50th anniversary of Saarbr\u00fccken Computer Science will take place on May 25 on the campus of Saarland University.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In 1969, the Department of Computer Science was founded at Saarland University and G\u00fcnter Hotz was appointed the first professor of computer science. Now, 50 years later, 1900 students from more than 80 nations are enrolled in computer science and 800 scientists are doing research at the Saarland Informatics Campus (SIC) at one of the many research institutes. The Department of Computer Science at Saarland University is celebrating its 50th anniversary with a series of lectures in which representatives of SIC research institutes present their current research and their relationship to the beginnings of computer science in Saarbr\u00fccken.<br \/>\n&#8220;How should voice-controlled digital assistants in the car adapt to the driver?&#8221; is the title of the first lecture on April 9 at 6:30 p.m., with which Professor Vera Demberg from the &#8220;Cluster of Excellence for Multimodal Computing and Interaction&#8221; begins the series. The background: For many people, voice control in the car is already part of everyday life. For example, a navigation device announces when to turn; more and more applications can be controlled by voice interaction.  But how does this affect driving safety, and can voice interaction be designed in such a way that it automatically adapts to the user and the situation, thus reducing the cognitive strain on the driver?<br \/>\nAnother lecture on May 14 will be devoted to the topic &#8220;Wrong payroll tax, stinking diesel, crashing airplanes \u2013 Saarbr\u00fccken computer science in the era of irresponsible software&#8221;. Holger Hermanns, computer science professor at Saarland University and spokesman for the Collaborative Research Center for Comprehensible Software Systems, will discuss the background to the recent software scandals.<\/p>\n<p>The series ends on May 21 with a lecture by Nils Ole Tippenhauer. The researcher from the Helmholtz Center for Information Security (CISPA) will show how the &#8220;interplay between the digital and analogue worlds repeatedly leads to surprising security problems&#8221; and will discuss some of them in his lecture entitled &#8220;Cybersecurity for everyone \u2013 from mobile phones to waterworks&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>The complete series including topics and speakers:<\/p>\n<p><\/u><\/strong>April 9<br \/>\n<strong>How should voice-controlled digital assistants in the car adapt to the driver?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Professor Vera Demberg, Cluster of Excellence for Multimodal Computing and Interaction<\/p>\n<p>April 16<br \/>\n<strong>Current developments in the field of artificial intelligence<br \/>\n<\/strong>Professor Philipp Slusallek, German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence<\/p>\n<p>April 23<br \/>\n<strong>How computers and intelligent systems learn to see and understand the world with cameras<br \/>\n<\/strong>Professor Christian Theobalt, Max Planck Institute for Computer Science<\/p>\n<p>April 30<br \/>\n<strong>Like peas in a pod? \u2013 Bioinformatics of individual tumor cells<br \/>\n<\/strong>Professor Tobias Marschall, Center for Bioinformatics<\/p>\n<p>May 7<br \/>\n<strong>Hey Siri!
