23rd January 2017, BBDC Co-Director Prof. Dr. Klaus-Robert Müller spoke
at and moderated a technology forum on artificial intelligence at TU
Berlin. Together with distinguished researchers from the field of
machine learning he presented some of the research results achieved in
the context of the Berlin Big Data Center. Other speakers included Prof.
Dr. Martin Riedmiller, Research Scientist at Google DeepMind, Dr. Ralf
Herbrich, Managing Director of the Amazon Development Center in Berlin
and another principal investigator of the Berlin Big Data Center, Prof.
Dr. Thomas Wiegand, Executive Director at Fraunhofer
Heinrich-Hertz-Institut in Berlin. The event stirred quite some interest
and the interested public and due to over 1600 registered attendants
the event, which already took place in TU Berlins "Auditorium maximum",
was streamed live into the second largest lecture hall as well. >> more |

The
machine learning group of Prof. Dr. Klaus-Robert Müller was
looking back to a successful participation at the NIPS conference. NIPS
is among the most influential artificial intelligence conferences.
Especially the deep learning community shapes this event. At this year's
conference the BBDC members presented a new algorithm to train neural
networks. Additionally, the group published four workshop papers. Two
out of those four received a best paper award! The first describes a
novel way to scale Multi-Class-SVM in settings where one discriminates
between thousands of different categories. The second paper treats the
explanation of non-linear machine learning algorithms. >> more |

A
few weeks ago, the new DLR software institute was announced and will be
established at TU Dresden. The aim of the Dresden DLR institute is the
research and development to support the virtual system capability of the
German aerospace industry in the areas of hardware, software and
application systems. Furthermore, current activities are ongoing to
establish additionally a „Smart Systems Hub“ at the TU Dresden, which is
strongly supported by the Federal Government of the Free State of
Saxony. >> more |

The
NOMAD Hackathon, held at the Berlin Big Data Centre on the 18-20 Jan
2017, was a great success! There were 26 attendees and all those who
attended showed great dedication and skills. We focused on developing a
number of Big Data Analytics tools for the NOMAD Laboratory CoE, a
European Centre of Excellence (https://nomad-coe.eu). Some of the tools
that were developed at the Hackathon have been presented to industry
representatives at the NOMAD Industry Meeting in Hamburg (06-07 Feb
2017). Other tools will be presented at future meetings. >> more |

A
joint event by the Berlin Big Data Center and UK Science and Innovation
Network will be held on the 1st March 2017. You will hear about
UK's big data landscape and the Berlin Big Data Centre projects, with
sessions on data analytics, big data management, machine learning and
e-health. There will also be a discussion about how UK and Germany are
building up national networks for interdisciplinary collaboration and
how researchers are collaborating with government and industry in
practice. The event takes place in Smart Data Forum (SDF), Berlin. To
