In recognition of her research, FAU computer scientist Elisabeth Hoppe from the Pattern Recognition Lab has been shortlisted for the AI newcomer of the year award by the Gesellschaft für Informatik (German Informatics Society). We met to discuss her research approach and what she finds so fascinating about artificial intelligence.
What role does AI have to play in assisting people at home and helping them run their houses more efficiently? Questions such as these will be investigated by the ForeSight project at FAU, which has received funding for the next three years within the context of the German Federal government’s initiative ‘Artificial intelligence as a driver for economically relevant ecosystems.’
‘Hightech Agenda Bavaria is a big deal which has the potential to continue to establish Bavaria as a science hotspot attracting talented young researchers from abroad,’ says FAU President Prof. Dr. Joachim Hornegger in response to the latest government declaration from Minister President Dr. Markus Söder.
What is necessary to further boost AI? According to Thomas Hahn, Chief Expert Software Siemens AG Germany, cooperations between different stakeholders are needed, for example between industry and universities.
FAU is a flourishing site where significant breakthroughs in AI, machine learning and pattern recognition are achieved. It is no wonder that our scientists represented FAU at Digital Summit 2018 organized by the German government. Among other things, our researchers had a booth on their pioneering AI research in the health segment.
