𝐊𝐢𝐜𝐤-𝐨𝐟𝐟 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐅𝐞𝐰𝐓𝐮𝐑𝐞 We are happy to announce the research project FewTuRe, a joint initiative with the machine learning group from HU Berlin represented by Alan Akbik (professor of machine learning, HU Berlin) and Jonas Golde (PhD student). The project is funded by the Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (FKZ: 01IS24020) and managed by the DLR Projektträger represented by France-Audrey M. and Stephanie Granzow. The project aims to develop machine learning models for information extraction that work effectively with limited training data. In a world where labeling large amounts of data can be costly and time-consuming, we aim to identify new ways to build highly intelligent models using only a small amount of data. Our discussions currently cover a range of academic and industrial topics related to LLMs, including named-entity recognition, data-efficient learning, and prompt engineering, as well as datasets for information extraction research. We will keep you updated on our progress! #innovation #technology #machinelearning #AI #education

Chemnitz University of Technology scores multiple points in the CHE Ranking 2024/2025 University is particularly impressive in the currently ranked subject areas of chemistry, computer science, mathematics, physics and sports science The Center for Higher Education Development (CHE) has examined more than 300 universities and universities of applied sciences in German-speaking countries in its latest detailed university ranking. In addition to facts about studies, teaching, facilities and research, the ranking includes the opinions of around 120,000 students surveyed about the study conditions at their universities. The results will be published on May 4, 2024 in the 292-page ZEIT Verlagsgruppe Study Guide 2024/25 and online from May 2, 2024. Every year, a third of the entire range of subjects, which currently comprises 36 subjects, is re-evaluated. This year, the subjects Chemistry, Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, Political Science, Sociology and Sports Science represented at Chemnitz University of Technology (TUC) were also analyzed, whereby the student assessment in Political Science and Sociology could unfortunately not be ranked due to the low participation of students in the CHE survey. https://lnkd.in/eDhxHpMW #study #university #chemnitz #sachsen #ctheunseen #student #education #germany

Jakob Schwerter (Technische Universität Dortmund), Nicolai Netz (Deutsches Zentrum für Hochschul- und Wissenschaftsforschung GmbH) and Nicolas Hübner (Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen) have published an article in the journal Economics of Education Review. Their research paper deals with the long-term effects of school reforms for students and is entitled ‘Does instructional time at school influence study time at university? Evidence from an instructional time reform’. The paper is based on the idea that early-life environments can have long-lasting effects on individuals’ later life courses. Interestingly, research on the effects of school reforms has so far hardly adopted this perspective. Therefore, a staggered school reform (the G8 high school reform) that reduced the number of school years and increased the weekly instructional time for secondary school students in most German federal states was investigated. The research group analyzed this quasi-experiment in a difference-in-differences framework using nationally representative large-scale survey data on 69,513 students who attended university between 1998 and 2016. Using TWFE and weighted-group ATT estimators, they found negative effects of reform exposure on hours spent attending classes and on self-study were found. In addition, reform exposure increased the time gap between high school graduation and higher education entry. These findings highlight the importance for policymakers and researchers to consider the unintended long-term effects of school reforms on individual life courses. #publication #school #reform #study #lifecourses #G8 #Bildungssystem #longtermeffects

Our partner RPTU Kaiserslautern-Landau attended 💼💡"Mini-Workshop: Mathematics of Entropic AI in the Natural Sciences" at the Mathematical Research Institute in Oberwolfach from April 7th to April 12th, 2024. One particularly relevant topic discussed was 📊 "small data," which refers to a situation where learning from the available data is highly underdetermined. This scenario is common in the natural sciences due to the frequent combination of large dimensionality and relatively limited available measurements. Under these conditions, traditional AI methods, such as Deep Learning, which rely on significant amounts of data to learn effectively, typically encounter difficulties and exhibit reduced performance. Davide Bassetti from RPTU commented: "The AI4LUNGS project involves working with such “small data”, and thus the application of entropic learning methodologies will be of paramount importance. The existence of this rigorous mathematical framework also allows direct interpretation of the obtained results. Such advancements provide a way to be able to efficiently and reliably train models that are resistant to high dimensionality paired with low statistics and can integrate information across different modalities and data sources, despite potential measurement noise."

🤖 Can artificial intelligence tools transform the workplace, making employees happier and more efficient?🤔 We had an interview with Prof. Dr. Verena Nitsch, an expert from the Institute of Ergonomics at RWTH Aachen University and the Ergonomic Competence Center AKzentE4.0, to find out! Prof. Dr. Verena Nitsch: 💡Artificial intelligence offers new opportunities, both for companies and their employees. However, how they actually benefit depends very much on how work is organised and how work is reorganised with the introduction of AI. New technologies such as AI aren’t inherently better for employees, especially as they can also be used to further condense tasks and increase stress levels. The introduction of AI alone is not enough to make employees happier. Read the interview 👉 https://go.eco.de/C4MENyf #AIinWorkplace #EmployeeEmpowerment #ProductivityBoost

I recently had the opportunity to participate in the IDEA League Summer School "Closing the Loop: (Re-) Design for Disassembly and Circular Economy" at the Werkzeugmaschinenlabor, WZL der RWTH Aachen. This week was not only funny but also highly educational: I had the pleasure of making new friends coming from diverse backgrounds and universities. Throughout the week, we learned about the economic, strategic, and environmental importance of the circular economy and the design of components and remanufacturing plants under the optic of multiple life cycles. It’s amazing how small design changes can make a significant impact! I appreciated the hands-on experience, where we disassembled a Miele washing machine and a Knorr-Bremse Rail Vehicle Systems brake. The sessions, although brief, were highly valuable, driving us into the challenges we will face. One thing is certain: we can make a much better usage of materials and functionalities even in end-of-life products. A special thanks to Oleksandr Melnychuk and Lea Kaven for organizing this fantastic event, to Bas Flipsen for the inspiration and mentoring, and to all my fellow participants, especially the people of Group 2: Lukas Weirowitz, Filippa Malmenstam, Jiuke Chen and Aditi Hota. Lastly, thanks to the universities involved in this activity: Politecnico di Milano, Delft University of Technology, Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich, Chalmers University of Technology and RWTH Aachen University! #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #DesignForDisassembly #SummerSchool #Networking #LearningExperience #IDEALEAGUE
