BayernKI visiting Workshop “AI infrastructure for researchers in Bavaria”

Bavaria is an AI hotspot, but AI research needs reliable access to infrastructure, and that’s where BayernKI enters the stage. This week the NHR@FAU joined the workshop “AI infrastructure for researchers in Bavaria” at the Technical University of Applied Sciences Augsburg (THA). The aim of the event was to provide information about AI infrastructure in Bavaria, to identify the needs of AI researchers and to support…

Replacing AI training with Math Methods

Artificial neural networks are becoming increasingly large and complex – and therefore require more and more energy for training with data. A research team led by Felix Dietrich, Professor of Physics-Enhanced Machine Learning at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), is working on replacing training steps with mathematical methods. This reduces power consumption and helps to better understand how artificial intelligence (AI) works…
