EDBT/ICDT 2025 Conference Contributions
Three BIFOLD research groups will take part in the EDBT/ICDT 2025 data management conference. They will present six publications, including one that received the EDBT 2025 Best Paper Award. The conference is scheduled for 25–28 March 2025 in Barcelona, Spain.
The Hidden Domino Effect
A team of BIFOLD researchers discovered that foundation models such as GPT, Llama, CLIP etc., trained by unsupervised learning methods, often produce compromised representations from which instances can be correctly predicted, although only supported by data artefacts. In a Nature Machine Intelligence publication the researchers propose an explainable AI technique that is able to detect the false prediction strategies.
EVENTS
Yes, we are open!?
The event "Yes, We Are Open!?" hosted by the Berlin University Alliance, Weizenbaum Institute, and Wikimedia Deutschland, will explore the responsible design of AI. Sebastian Schelter, Research Group Lead of the BIFOLD DEEM Lab, will participate as a panelist in the discussion on "Open Science and AI in Science."
BIFOLD Colloquium 01/2025
Prof. Michael W. Mahoney, ICSI, LBNL, and Department of Statistics, UC Berkeley, will discuss the question of what foundation models would look like and what new advances they would enable, when built on the rich, diverse, multimodal data that are available from large-scale experimental and simulational data in scientific computing (SC), broadly defined.
*Data collected from 2020 onwards.
