Upgrading the toolkit for AI problems
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”
“We need to be more ambitious”
Europe needs to speed up implementing new technologies, in order to tackle the challenges on a global level, urges Cecilia Bonefeld-Dahl. The Director General of DIGITALEUROPE advocates an EU-wide Artifical Intelligence strategy that builds on education and European values. Continue reading ““We need to be more ambitious””
Machines learn to be curious
In a project funded by the Austrian Science Fund FWF, a research group in Vienna developed robots that perceive unfamiliar objects in their environment and then compare them with images from the Internet in order to identify them. Continue reading “Machines learn to be curious”
Instilling order and knowledge into the flood of data
In the context of a project funded by the Austrian Science Fund FWF, a research group from the St. Pölten University of Applied Sciences has developed a versatile framework for data visualisation that permits easy integration of expert knowledge. Continue reading “Instilling order and knowledge into the flood of data”
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”
How computers help to find the optimal schedule
In a project funded by the FWF, a research group from Vienna has investigated how a wide variety of employee scheduling issues can be analysed within one umbrella framework and solved with the help of computers. Continue reading “How computers help to find the optimal schedule”
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.
