Six weeks of summer vacation! ☀️ Since last Friday, it's been pure fun, sun and free time! For working parents, however, they can't always be bridged with vacation. 🤔 A good work-life balance is particularly important for us during this time. 🥳 That's why we focus on this at our institute: 🕰️ Flexible working hours: Our employees can adapt their working hours to the needs of their families. 🏡 Home office options: This allows our employees to be productive from home. 👶 Bringing children: If childcare is not possible, our employees can bring their children to the office! There's plenty for them to discover here! 🌐 More about our benefits: https://lnkd.in/ew3Ns49V We wish you happy vacations! 💚

Another new #podcast recommendation from us today, but this time not a new episode of our »Streuspanne« podcast! 🌟 In the latest episode of the »DECARBON CAST« our expert Michael Bortz, deputy head of the »Optimization« division, is a guest of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Thomas Grützner from Universität Ulm and shares his exciting insights into the #energytransition and #mathematics. 🌿✨🌿✨ Listen in and find out how mathematical models help to make forecasts on #climatechange and how algorithms optimize the use and distribution of renewable energies such as solar, wind and hydropower. 🌞💨🌊 Our expert also explains how mathematics supports to stabilize the energy grid and find the best energy mix🔋⚡. For all young scientists, he talks about his own path into #science and why he finds applied mathematics and physics so exciting. 🌐 Listen in now! 👉 https://lnkd.in/eDkKerXb [Podcast only available in German]

Don't trust any #statistics that you haven't falsified yourself. Actually, we always cringe inwardly when someone throws this quote around. Unfortunately, that doesn't change the fact that statistics are occasionally faked. It would be great if statistics were able to detect fraud in #statistics. The snake 🐍 that can bite its own tail here is called Benford's Law. That's what the latest episode of our podcast #Streuspanne is all about. The law regulates the probabilities of occurrence of the first digit of numbers in a data set in a seemingly mystical way. Not only is this supposed to uncover economic fraud and election manipulation, no, it's even supposed to fuel the Bielefeld conspiracy? We talk about: ⏺ the fascinating theory of Benford's Law ⏺ how this law can help detect fraud ⏺ whether humans are good generators of randomness ⏺ what logarithm tables are  ⏺ the famous Bielefeld conspiracy – does the city really exist? Our #Streuspanne team Sascha Feth, Jochen Fiedler and Esther Packullat investigate this ominous law and clarify whether financial investigators are now out of a job, whether we are talking about a toothless tiger after all. If it bites itself in the tail, at least it won't hurt. Sounds exciting? It's definitely worth a listen! https://lnkd.in/dxNquFY9 [Our Podcast is only available in German] If you like the episode, subscribe to the podcast, leave a rating, like and share! We look forward to your comments and creative statistics ideas! #Benfordslaw #Bielefeld #science #frauddetection

Today we welcomed a group of trainees from BBS II Kaiserslautern! 🎉 The prospective third-year nursing specialists were here to learn more about digitalization in nursing. 💻 🩺 The program included a tour of our institute and presentations from the »Image Processing« and »Financial Mathematics« departments, with more information about our activities in the context of care and digitalization. 🥳 For example, the »ViKI pro« project, which deals with the use of AI in care processes and helps care professionals make decisions in their day-to-day work. 👩⚕️ 📈 Or the »PflegeForensik« project funded by the Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung , in which we have developed an AI-based solution 🤖 to detect care fraud more quickly and efficiently. ✅ Modern algorithms for image and text recognition automatically check handwritten and digital documents. More information here: https://lnkd.in/eWWNbKNE We were delighted with the visit – we'd love to see you again! 😊 💚 #Digitalization #Careforensics #Care #Caretraining #Research Yannick Becker Henrike Stephani

Liebes LinkedIn-Netzwerk,   die #Pfadgenerator-Software #ALMSIM ist das hinter der Klassifizierung der geförderten Altersvorsorgeprodukte liegende Software-Tool, das vom Fraunhofer ITWM vertrieben wird.   ALMSIM ist mittlerweile für Anwender so modifiziert worden, dass es als WebApp leicht zugänglich ist und somit z. B. auch für eigene Untersuchungen im Rahmen der #Value-#for-#Money-Diskussion, Berechnung von #PRIIPs-Szenarien oder zur Untersuchung von strukturierten Produkten genutzt werden kann.   Wir werden deshalb am 18.07.2024 von 13:30-15:00 eine Infoveranstaltung (online und kostenfrei) zum ALMSIM-Pfadgenerator anbieten.   Weitere Informationen und den Link zur Anmeldung finden Sie hier:    https://lnkd.in/e3A_dm2x
