AI moved from research settings into classrooms almost overnight. Systems that write essays, explain mathematics, generate code or summarize texts are now available to anyone with an internet connection. This makes one thing clear: Education cannot remain the same. shorturl.at/rxKvR

How is AI changing education, Professor Bogunovic?

AI systems are finding their way into the worlds of education and work. What does this mean for schools and universities? Perspectives from computer science.

Students from Kirschgarten Gymnasium Basel visited us to explore what it’s like to study Computer Science in Basel. They met professors, students, and PhD researchers, learned about our program and tried out student-made computer games. Looking forward to the next visit! #CS #FutureStudents

Neural implants can improve people's lives. But what happens when manufacturers stop supporting their own technology? George Kouvas, a researcher at the Institute for Biomedical Ethics @unibas.ch, is investigating the previously underestimated phenomenon of 'neuroabandonment'.

Help in a technological no-man’s land.

Neural implants improve the lives of many — until the manufacturers stop providing support for their own technology. A researcher in medical ethics from the University of Basel is investigating the pr...

During the semester, the students of my software engineering course at @dmi.unibas.ch created extensions to the open source citation manager JabRef. Today we had the final presentations. I was impressed by their creativity, I saw some really cool features like gamifications and citation graphs.

State-of-the-art AI programs can support the development of drugs by predicting how proteins interact with small molecules. However, @unibas.ch researchers have shown that these programs often fail when it comes to new proteins that would be of particular interest for innovative drugs.

In his doctoral dissertation in psychology, Linus Hany focuses on statistics. As a volunteer, he is committed to helping people who are at risk of being forgotten by the system. In both areas, it’s important to avoid rushing to judgement.

In Focus: Linus Hany structures data and advocates for honesty in handling it

In his research, Linus Hany focuses on statistics, and as a volunteer, he is committed to helping people who are at risk of being forgotten by the system. It’s important to avoid snap judgments in bot...

Researchers led by Prof. Ivan Dokmanić at @unibas.ch have developed a simple model that captures key features of deep neural networks and helps optimize their parameters. The results were published in the scientific journal “Physical Review Letters”: www.unibas.ch/en/News-Even...

What a folding ruler can tell us about neural networks

Researchers at the University of Basel have developed mechanical models that can predict how effectively the different layers of a deep neural network transform data. Their results improve our underst...
