In a data-driven world, ZHAW data scientists are in high demand and work on a plethora of problems. The Swiss Data Science Conference 2023 reflected the currently strong emphasis on artificial intelligence (AI), but there is more to data science than AI. The ZHAW projects show, that at the heart lie applications and approaches that […]
According to the WHO, one in every eight people in the world lives with a mental disorder, a clinically significant disturbance in an individual’s cognition, emotional regulation, or behaviour. Which impacts do recent advances in artificial intelligence have on mental health issues? Experts on the topic share their insights. CLAIRE, the largest European network for […]
Wie der Spagat zwischen digital und sozial gelingen kann, zeigen die Projekte von Meret Reiser, wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin am Departement Soziale Arbeit. Basierend auf einem Projekt, das im ZHAW-internen Förderprogramm «Digital Futures Fund» (DFF) unterstützt wurde, entstand eine erfolgreiche Zusammenarbeit mit der School of Engineering. Ganz neu im ZHAW Portfolio: eine Weiterbildung, in der Sozialarbeitende digitale […]
We all make mistakes: we are human after all. But what about machines? As they are programmed by humans, they are also prone to errors. In the case of automatic text generation, researchers from the Center of Artificial Intelligence (CAI) developed a new way of proof checking the various systems – fully automated. Machines evaluating […]
Artificial intelligence (AI) is making headlines recently. AI tools that can create text or images (e.g., ChatGTP or Dall-E) are on the rise. Felix Schmitt-Koopmann asked himself how AI could automatically detect mathematical formulae in a text and ultimately help visually impaired people. He created the new database “FormulaNet” to take a step closer on […]
Congratulations Dr. Lilach Goren Huber for winning the Best Presentation Award and DIZH fellow Dr. Jürg Meierhofer for the Best Paper Award at the Swiss Conference on Data Science (SDS) this year! The SDS is the most important Swiss conference for applied data science. In the interview, the ZHAW researchers tell us what their recently […]
