When algorithms result in exclusion

Digital technologies have the potential to improve the lives of many people. But artificial intelligence often contains unthinking assumptions that reinforce inequalities. Katta Spiel’s research focus is on such imbalances in the development of technology, and the researcher is developing innovative designs for people with different needs and for a more equitable world.  Continue reading “When algorithms result in exclusion”

In search of the origin of life in Boston

By Philipp Honegger

Philipp Honegger left for the United States in the middle of the pandemic to pursue his research at the interface of chemistry and computer science at Harvard Medical School. In his guest article for scilog, this Schrödinger fellow explains why the discovery of self-replicating molecules is of interest both for the origin of life and […] Continue reading “In search of the origin of life in Boston”

Upgrading the toolkit for AI problems

Interview: Astrid Kuffner

Robert Ganian wants to modify a well-proven theoretical computer science toolkit so it can be used for the booming field of artificial intelligence and machine learning. In order to extend the so-called parameterised complexity theory to this rapidly growing area of application, he needs to bring together expertise from various fields. At the end of […] Continue reading “Upgrading the toolkit for AI problems”

Exploring communication in music ensembles

In a project funded by the Austrian Science Fund FWF, a research group led by psychologist Laura Bishop is investigating how people who play classical music together communicate with each other. To this end she is working on a computer system that can play music like a human being. Continue reading “Exploring communication in music ensembles”

A space for experiencing virtual encounters

In the context of the PEEK Programme for arts-based research, the FWF supported the development of the INTRA-SPACE project in Vienna. It offers an experimental space for real-time encounters between actual and virtual individuals that catalyse digital-cultural behaviour. Continue reading “A space for experiencing virtual encounters”

Artificial intelligence plus common sense

In the future, a new generation of autonomous robots is set to complete tasks autonomously, even if something unforeseeable happens. With the support of the Austrian Science Fund FWF, IT experts in Graz are working to advance the development of artificial intelligence and equip robots with common sense. Continue reading “Artificial intelligence plus common sense”
