New research area "Vision and Language Models (VLMs)" at the Saarbrücken Research Center for Visual Computing, Interaction and Artificial Intelligence under the direction of Professor Bernt Schiele
The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) has named Anja Feldmann an "ACM Fellow" for her influential contributions to the data-driven analysis of operational networks.
A group of computer science students from Saarland University has now won a gold medal in a major European competition, the best result achieved by a German university in almost 10 years
The Max Planck Institute for Informatics & Google announce the "Saarbrücken Research Center for Visual Computing, Interaction and Artificial Intelligence (VIA)"
Hans-Peter Seidel, Scientific Director at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics in Saarbrücken and Honorary Professor at Saarland University, has been honored by the world's largest computer science association, the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), for his seminal contributions to the research field of computer graphics.
The Max Planck Institute (MPI) for Informatics in Saarbrücken (Germany) and Google have agreed on a strategic partnership to establish the "Saarbrücken Research Center for Visual Computing, Interaction and Artificial Intelligence (VIA)" at the MPI for Informatics. The center will conduct basic research in frontier areas of computer graphics, computer vision, and human machine interaction, at the intersection of artificial intelligence and machine learning. The VIA center will be headed by Prof. Dr. Christian Theobalt, scientific director at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics.
Amazon and the Max Planck Society today announced the establishment of the first German Science Hub in Tübingen. The main goal of this science cooperation is to advance research in Germany in subfields of artificial intelligence (AI), in particular causality, computer vision and machine learning, to develop secure and trustworthy concepts for the future and thus to strengthen Germany as a technology location. Amazon is providing nearly 700,000 euros for this purpose in the first year. The cooperation is initially scheduled to run for five years.
Saarland University, the Max Planck Institute for Informatics and the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems are part of one of only three newly established “Konrad Zuse Schools” for Artificial Intelligence, which are being set up by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) with funding from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).
The Association for Computing Machinery has elected three researchers from the two Max Planck Institutes in Saarbrücken to Fellow status. Two of them are Members MPI-INF.
