Interim assessment of medical informatics project DIFUTURE

"Data can save lives"

People suffering from rare diseases often face a major difficulty: Their illnesses occur so infrequently that only a handful of physicians are very familiar with them. This in turn makes the right diagnosis, not to mention successful treatment, very hard. Now researchers in the consortium "Data Integration for Future Medicine" (DIFUTURE) want to improve this situation using large volumes of data and Artificial Intelligence.

Prof. Darius Burschka learned from mariners

Calculating collision risks: with the constant bearing principle

Preventing accidents by computing impending collisions of drones or cars: that is the goal of Darius Burschka. The professor at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) tracks every point in images generated by cameras carried by flying drones or cars on the road. In principle he applies the “constant bearing” technique traditionally used by navigators at sea.

Position paper outlines opportunities for schools and universities

“ChatGPT can lead to greater equity in education”

The public launch of ChatGPT has led to considerable dismay at schools and universities. However, a position paper authored by more than 20 scientists at TUM and Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (LMU) working in educational, social, computer and data sciences shows that the so-called language models also present many opportunities for education. In this interview, the coordinator Prof. Enkelejda Kasneci explains how the new technology could benefit learners and make teachers’ work easier.
