🌙 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗔𝗜 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 𝗦𝗹𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗲 👩⚕️👨💻 At the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Sozialmedizin und Prävention - DGSMP e.V. Annual Meeting in Essen, Sebastian Buschjäger, PhD, Scientific Coordinator and Researcher on Resource-aware Machine Learning at the Lamarr Institute, and Dr. rer. medic. Sarah Dietz-Terjung presented their work on the #Sleepwalker tool. 🛌 Originally designed to predict therapies for sleep apnea, the tool aims to improve (semi-)automatic annotation processes and support clinical workflows. In the future, it could enable sleep analysis in home environments with fewer sensors, combining AI innovations with medical expertise. 🎯 As Buschjäger emphasized: “Just building the thing and showing that it works in principle is not enough. We have to test it in the field, with real people, to make an impact.” ➡️ Learn more about how #AI in #SleepMedicine could shape the future of #Healthcare: https://lnkd.in/dGi-Sz_C #WeAreLamarr

💡 𝗘𝗿𝗸𝗹ä𝗿𝗯𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗞𝗜 – 𝗪𝗮𝘀 𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗱𝗮𝘀 𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗮𝗿𝘂𝗺 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘂𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝗿 𝘀𝗶𝗲? #KI-Systeme beeindrucken mit bahnbrechenden Anwendungen, bleiben jedoch oft „Black Boxes“, deren Entscheidungen kaum nachvollziehbar sind. Genau hier setzt erklärbare KI (#XAI) an: Sie schafft Transparenz, fördert Vertrauen und wirft zugleich spannende ethische Fragen auf. Doch wie funktioniert XAI eigentlich, welche Herausforderungen gibt es, und warum ist sie für die Zukunft moderner KI-Systeme so entscheidend? Antworten auf diese Fragen gibt Lamarr Principal Investigator Prof. Dr. Eva Schmidt (Technische Universität Dortmund) am 26. November 2024 in ihrem Impulsvortrag bei der letzten #BARsession des Jahres, organisiert von der Wirtschaftsförderung Dortmund. 📍 Wo? domicil, Hansastraße 7-11, 44137 #Dortmund 🎟️ Kostenfreie Tickets hier: https://lnkd.in/efhfbPUg ℹ️ Weitere Infos hier: https://lnkd.in/eAr2vaPa Nutzen Sie die Gelegenheit, im Anschluss mit unserer Expertin Eva Schmidt und anderen Teilnehmer*innen ins Gespräch zu kommen, Kontakte zu knüpfen und spannende Einblicke in die Welt der erklärbaren KI zu gewinnen.
