SAVE THE DATE: “FDM@Campus” in September 2024
The Göttingen eResearch Alliance will organize a joint conference “FDM@Campus” in Göttingen from September 23-25, 2024. At this event, we want to mutually inform each other about our approaches and exchange experiences.In these days, the topic Research Data Management (RDM) plays a major role at universities, colleges and research institutions. In parallel, most German states have formed initiatives to offer RDM services at the state level. Additionally, there exist disciplinary services of the NFDI consortia on the national level and INF projects of CRCs.
This raises the question for universities, colleges and research institutions: How can we combine and use these different spheres efficiently, in order to offer the best RDM services to researchers on site?
The topics of our conference could be, among others:
• Exemplary RDM services
• Models for operation and consolidation
• Organisation of different players
• Competencies – Who ist responsible for what?
• Workflows and technical solutions for RDM at the campus
• Roles and integration of state initiatives and the NFDI
• Experiences with INF projects in CRCs for RDM service development

Science Movie Nights – Of natural and artificial intelligences
Pre-CrimeApril 11, 2024, 7 pm; Rechenzentrum am Burckhardtweg 4, 37077 Göttingen.
Predicting and preventing crimes before they occur – what sounds like science fiction has long been a reality in many places. All around the world, police departments have implemented methods of predictive policing, using algorithms and machine learning to predict the place, time and perpetrator of crimes.
But how reliable are these methods really? How do they interact with existing prejudices and discrimination? And how much freedom do we want to give up in order to feel safe? Filmmakers Monika Hielscher and Matthias Heeder explore these questions in their documentary Pre-Crime (2017).
We invite you to a screening of Pre-Crime followed by a panel discussion. Data scientist Dr. Valentin Gold (University of Göttingen) and legal scholar Hauke Bock (University of Leipzig) will discuss the technological, ethical and legal implications of predictive policing. The discussion will be hosted by Prof. Ramin Yahyapour (GWDG).
The film and the panel discussion will be in German, but questions in English are welcome as well. Entrance is free.

Science Movie Nights – Of Natural and Artificial Intelligences
HERIn the near future, a lonely writer develops an unlikely relationship with an operating system designed to meet every need.
In 2013, this was Science Fiction. But is it still today?
AI-based operating systems and virtual assistants enable human-like linguistic communication and interaction in various areas of our lives. But what happens when virtuality and reality become increasingly intertwined and feelings develop between humans and machines? To explore this topic, we invite you to a screening of the film Her followed by a panel discussion. Data scientist Prof. Alexander Ecker, psychologist Dr. Vanessa Mitschke and philosopher Prof. Catrin Misselhorn will discuss the opportunities and risks of artificial intelligence and its ethical challenges. The discussion will be hosted by Prof. Thomas Kneib.
About the film:
In Spike Jonze’s award winning movie Her, Academy Award Winner Joaquin Phoenix stars as the introverted and lonely Theodore, who writes personal and empathetic letters for other people professionally. In the final stages of his divorce, he purchases the world’s first artificially intelligent operating system. Theodore quickly finds himself drawn in with Samantha, the voice behind his new virtual assistant (voiced by Scarlett Johansson). As they start spending time together, they grow closer and closer and eventually find themselves in love. Samantha helps Theodore in ways others hadn't, but how does she help him deal with his inner conflict of being in love with an operating system? The film received more than 30 awards, among them an Academy Award and a Golden Globe for the best screenplay.
The film is shown in English with German subtitles. Entrance is free.
March 5 2024, 7 pm; Lecture Hall of the German Primate Center, Kellnerweg 4.

Science Movie Nights – Of Natural and Artificial Intelligences
Krähen - Die Natur beobachtet unsThey are deified, persecuted and chased away. Corvids are the only animals that have observed and studied us humans for thousands of years, but also have the ability to pass on this accumulated knowledge to their offspring. They are extremely clever and are said to have a very extensive memory. Corvids are also known as "feathered apes". But how clever are these birds really? And what are the differences and similarities between corvids and primates? And what do the crows know about us in return? "Is there a collective knowledge about humans in the flocks of crows?", is the central question of this documentary film by Martin Schilt.
Following the screening on Thursday, February 8, 2024, we invite the audience to discuss all these questions with primate researcher Dr. Claudia Fichtel from the German Primate Center in Göttingen and corvid expert Dr. Claudia Wascher from Anglia Ruskin University (England).
The film is narrated in German, but most interviews with researchers in film are in English with German subtitles. Tickets can be purchased via the website of the Lumière.

ZDF science show on the secrets of emergence
Viola Priesemann talks about complex systems and emergenceThe enigma of emergence - surprisingly complex properties that can be found in nature, in society and increasingly also in technology. For example, ants that act collectively without central control, or nerve cells that together could form human consciousness.
In the 12.10.23 edition of the ZDF science program Scobel, experts deal with the topic: "Emergence: The hidden principle of life". They shed light on the interaction of simple, small particles to form large, complex patterns as well as the emergence of global social and cultural phenomena.
Professor Viola Priesemann, physicist at the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization and the University of Göttingen as well as a member of CIDAS, is one of the invited experts. She will contribute her knowledge of the theory of neural systems and discuss, among other things, the importance of emergence for learning in neural networks.

Seminar by Dr. Saif M. Mohammad “The Search for Emotions, Creativity, and Fairness in Language”
Abstract: Emotions are central to human experience, creativity, and behavior. They are crucial for organizing meaning and reasoning about the world we live in. They are ubiquitous and everyday, yet complex and nuanced. In this talk, I will describe our work on the search for emotions in language -- by humans (through data annotation projects) and by machines (in automatic emotion and sentiment analysis systems). I will outline ways in which emotions can be represented, challenges in obtaining reliable annotations, and approaches that lead to high-quality annotations and useful sentiment analysis systems. I will discuss wide-ranging applications of emotion detection in natural language processing, psychology, social sciences, digital humanities, and computational creativity. Finally, I will discuss various ethical considerations involved in emotion recognition and sentiment analysis — the often unsaid assumptions and implications of our choices.Date: December 14th, 2022, start is 3 p.m. (lecture ca. 45 min followed by 15 min for QA)

Ausschreibung einer Stelle für wissenschaftliche Hilfskräfte (d/m/w) “Machine learning for lung protective ventilation”
Application Deadline: Tuesday, November 15th, 2022Job description:
Mechanical ventilation is the most important supportive and life-sustaining measure for severe acute respiratory failure in patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). Conservative estimates suggest that about 150.000 patients per year suffer from ARDS in Europe alone. Ensuring pulmonary gas exchange buys time to treat the underlying cause of the disease. The COVID-19 pandemic led to a massive increase in ARDS cases worldwide and has highlighted the possibilities, but also the limitations and problems associated with mechanical ventilation. The concept of lung protective ventilation aims at preventing injurious side effects while enhancing protection by monitoring several variables that captured during mechanical ventilation such as the tidal volume, the peak airway pressure or positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). However, current therapeutic approaches, often only addressing a few variables, do not sufficiently account for treatment corridors to be specified for the setting of mechanical ventilation and thus fail to adapt to personalized mechanical ventilation for the individual patient.

CIDAS general meeting
The next general meeting of the CIDAS takes place on Thursday, November 11th, 2021 at 12:15Ringvorlesung Wintersemester 2021/2022: Künstliche Intelligenz, Data Science und Gesellschaft
Künstliche Intelligenz und Datenwissenschaften sind Schlüsselthemen, die zu weitreichenden Veränderungen in Wirtschaft, Wissenschaft und Gesellschaft geführt haben. In nahezu jedem Bereich unseres Alltags werden signifikante Datenmengen generiert und über entsprechende Algorithmen genutzt, um Prozesse zu automatisieren und einen Mehrwert zu schaffen. Anwendungsbeispiele finden sich in der personalisierten Medizin, dem autonomen Fahren bis hin zur Steuerung von Robotern in Industrie und Medizin. Zugleich birgt der hohe Grad der Digitalisierung Herausforderungen in dem Schutz persönlicher Daten und zu ethischen Fragen KI-basierter Entscheidungsprozesse. Im Rahmen des Vorlesungsprogramms sollen die verschiedenen Aspekte der Künstlichen Intelligenz und Data Science vorgestellt und diskutiert werden. Somit wird ein umfassender Einblick in dieses facettenreiche Forschungsfeld gewährt, welches sowohl die Grundlagen und Anwendungen von Künstlicher Intelligenz und Data Science als auch deren Auswirkungen in unserer Gesellschaft umfassen. Zugleich bietet diese Veranstaltung die Möglichkeit die Zusammenhänge zwischen den einzelnen Disziplinen aufzuzeigen und über Grenzen und Möglichkeiten aufzuklären. Die Organisation der Ringvorlesung erfolgt durch das Campus-Institut Data Science der Universität Göttingen, welches die Aufgabe hat, die fakultätsübergreifende und campusweite Zusammenarbeit auf dem Gebiet Data Science in Lehre und Forschung zu bündeln und zu koordinieren.
