Artificial intelligence for living texts
While existing AI tools help people search and extract information from texts, the technology still is basic. Iryna Gurevych is developing advanced AI tools for what she calls "living texts" — texts that dynamically evolve through revisions over…While existing AI tools help people search and extract information from texts, the technology still is basic.

Ethics and AI: tackling biases hidden in big data
How do artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms learn to predict and make decisions? Can we entrust them with decisions that affect our lives and societies? Are they neutral and as immune to societal imperfections as commonly thought? Nello…How do artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms learn to predict and make decisions?

The cosmic threat that binds our universe
There is a web of filaments – essentially long strands of gas – that connects all the galaxies in the universe. This is known as the Cosmic Web and, so far, astrophysicist had only a partial idea of what it may have looked like. Now, ERC funded…There is a web of filaments – essentially long strands of gas – that connects all the galaxies in the universe.

Lost and found in the largest structures of the universe
On a clear summer night, look up to the sky and what do you see? Ordinary matter such as planets, stars maybe even an asteroid. Millions of little specks, as far as the eyes can reach. This ordinary matter, also known as baryonic matter, is the…On a clear summer night, look up to the sky and what do you see? Ordinary matter such as planets, stars maybe even an asteroid.
