11.10.2022 Stable Diffusion: Visual synthesis and its implications for the arts and creative industry on October 6, 2022 at LMUMCML PI Björn Ommer invited artist and researcher of the Angewandte Wien Pamela Breda and students of the TUM Computer Vision & Artificial Intelligence Chair accompanied by EuroTech Marie Curie Fellow Roman Pflugfelder to his group. The PhD students of LMU and TUM discussed with Pamela Breda new artistic possibilities and the social and ethical questions regarding human emotional responses to the ongoing revolution in text-to-image synthesis. The students also exchanged new ideas how to apply the stable diffusion model to other visual tasks such as 3D reconstruction.Beside the exciting introduction to the topic by Björn Ommer and a more than two hour lively discussion, students of the two chairs had the opportunity to network. This event was a prelude for more collaboration between the two research groups within the MCML.More information to Stable Diffusion. |

10.10.2022 First cross-Atlantic RoboArt Hackathon on Nov. 4th-6th, 2022The MCML is happy to promote this Hackathon, a collaboration of Women in AI & Robotics, the University of Waterloo Department of Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering, and Mila. This is a fun way to introduce robotics to curious minds. Under the mentorship of young roboticists, the participants will learn the first concepts about autonomous mobile robots and will write their first program to drive a robot in simulation. For participants, we target the 18–25-year age group by reaching out to schools and Universities further to promote entry into the exciting field of robotics. |

06.09.2022 LMU News: Two LMU research projects awarded ERC grantsMCML PI Hinrich Schütze received a Proof of Concept (PoC) Grant for his project 'Respond2Hate' (Responsive classifiers against hate speech in low-resource settings). In the project, Schütze is seeking to develop a pilot browser extension that allows users to locally remove hateful content from their social media feeds themselves – including in countries with little representation in current training datasets. To this end, he will validate self-developed adaptive models, continuously enhanced by means of natural language processing and deep learning techniques, for the filtering of hate speech.). |
