In this joint work with the University of Heidelberg, German Cancer Research Center, University Hospital of Erlangen we showed that multimodal quantitative MR enabled excellent differentiation of a wide spectrum of subcortical nuclei with...

Federated learning suffers in the case of "non-iid" local datasets, i.e., when the distributions of the clients’ data are heterogeneous. One promising approach to this challenge is the recently proposed method FedAUX, an augmentation of federated...

Nearly all diseases are caused by different combinations of exposures. We present the Causes of Outcome Learning approach (CoOL), which seeks to discover combinations of exposures that lead to an increased risk of a specific outcome in parts of...

Recently, the field of explainable AI (XAI) has developed methods that provide such explanations for already trained neural networks. So far XAI methods along with their heatmaps were mainly validated qualitatively via human-based assessment, or...

This research improves deep learning models based on explanations and expertise. The way is to set the annotation matrix for each training sample. Three image classification tasks in forestry verify the method.

We demonstrate a wireless link at 300 GHz using a fiber-coupled PIN photodiode as the transmitter. We achieved a maximum line rate of 160 Gbit/s with 32QAM modulation. The highest spectral efficiency was achieved with 64QAM at 8 GBaud, i.e. 48...

Auditing AI systems is a complex endeavour since multiple aspects have to be considered along the AI lifecycle that require multi-disciplinary approaches. AI audit methods and tools are in many cases subject of research and not practically...

Neural Network Coding and Representation (NNR) is the first international standard for efficient compression of neural networks. The NNR standard contains quantization and an arithmetic coding scheme as core encoding and decoding technologies, as...

In this chapter, we develop and describe a novel quantization paradigm for DNNs: Our method leverages concepts of explainable AI (XAI) and concepts of information theory: Instead of assigning weight values based on their distances to the...

In this chapter, we review our recently proposed "neuralization-propagation" (NEON) approach for bringing XAI to workhorses of unsupervised learning. NEON first converts the unsupervised model into a functionally equivalent neural network so...

This book takes next steps towards a broader vision for explainable AI in moving beyond explaining classifiers, to include explaining other kinds of models (e.g., unsupervised and reinforcement learning models) via a diverse array of XAI...

To improve our resilience to natural disasters through the use of AI, interdisciplinary, multistakeholder, and international collaborations and the development of standards are key.
