Es sind Sommerferien und viele reisen ins Ausland. Doch warum wegfahren, wenn die Welt nach Winterthur kommt? Mitte August tummeln sich Personen aus über 60 Ländern am Departement für Angewandte Linguistik, um sich über das Zusammenspiel von Mensch und künstlicher Intelligenz (KI) beim Deutschlehren – und lernen auszutauschen. Die Internationale Delegiertenkonferenz, die über den Dachverband […]
Es mag ja Menschen geben, die ihren Strandurlaub am liebsten mit einer VR-Brille und Sangria im eigenen Wohnzimmer verbringen. Für sie – und alle anderen – hat ZHAW digital ein paar Lesetipps für den Sommer. Hier ist für alle etwas dabei: Das Werk eines Literaturnobelpreisträgers (Klara und die Sonne), die Industriegeschichte des Fliessbands (America’s Assembly […]
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 […]
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 […]
