Intelligent software engineering

In recent years, empirical software engineering and information visualization have rapidly evolved as data-driven disciplines, where modern AI approaches offer both new methodologies and deeper insights. A workshop at SSC brings together two Bavarian research groups from the University of Bayreuth (Software Engineering) and the University of Bamberg (Information Visualization) with the primary goal of […]
FRASCAL

We are very happy to welcome a research group of FRASCAL at Speinshart! About the project This project aims to develop a mathematically rigorous optimization framework for controlling crack properties—particularly crack paths—in composite materials. Building on prior models that linked material failure mechanisms (such as fibre breakage or matrix–fibre debonding) to microscale properties via cohesive […]
For the Greater Good?

We had the pleasure of hosting a research group from the project “For the Greater Good? Deepfakes in Criminal Justice” in Speinshart! The 13 participants – including researchers from the fields of AI, law, and computer science – met with representatives from public prosecution offices to discuss the potential and limitations of using deepfakes in law […]
Explainable Intelligent Systems

We there very pleased to welcome our first guests at SSC: The team of EIS spent three days at Speinshart to focus on their research and finalize the corresponding report. The Project Explainable Intelligent Systems investigates how explainability of artificial intelligent systems contributes to the fulfillment of important societal desiderata like responsible decision-making, the trustworthiness of AI, […]
