Developed for the Internet of Things by BIFOLD, DIMA, and DFKI researchers, this novel stream processing engine eases the analysis of sensor data in real-time. The source code is now freely available under an Apache 2.0 license.
Looking Back at SIGMOD/PODS 2025 in Berlin
Between June 22nd and June 27th, Berlin hosted members of the international data management community at this year’s SIGMOD/PODS conference, one of the leading conferences in data management. With inspiring keynotes, vibrant exchange, and a record turnout, it was a fantastic week of science and collaboration. We are proud to have co-organized this landmark event!
EVENTS
Lunch Talk: Robin Geyer - Measuring Orthogonality in Representations of Generative Models
In unsupervised representation learning, models aim to distill essential features from high-dimensional data into lower-dimensional learned representations, guided by inductive biases. Understanding the characteristics that make a good representation remains a topic of ongoing research.
Measuring Political Bias in Large Language Models
The TU Berlin (NLP in Berlin / Emmy Noether series) invites you to this talk: Dr. Röttger will outline the challenges in evaluating political bias in LLMs and introduce IssueBench, a newly developed dataset designed for robust and realistic bias assessment.
*Data collected from 2020 onwards.
