Welcome to the relAI blog of the Konrad Zuse School of Excellence in Reliable AI (relAI). This blog will serve as a platform to share cutting-edge research and developments from our school, highlighting the significant strides we are making towards making AI systems safer, more trustworthy, and privacy-preserving. The vision of the relAI program is to train future generations of AI experts, who for the first time combine technical brilliance with awareness of the importance of AI’s reliability.

With our posts we are aiming to reach academics, industry professionals and the general public, as we believe communicating recent advances in AI from within the school is of crucial importance. Besides showcasing our research, the relAI blog will also feature experiences from our students enrolled in the program.

Enjoy reading!!!

    What even is differential privacy?

    Machine learning (ML) technologies are set to revolutionize various fields and sectors. ML models can learn from text, image and various other forms of data by automatically detecting patterns. Their successful application, however, relies heavily on access to extremely large datasets (some state-of-the-art language models are trained on the whole internet). For many interesting applications, such datasets … Read more

    Mitigating Domain shifts

    Deep neural networks often perform well on trained data. However, on unseen data they usually fail to generalize and accompany performance degradation (Vu et al., 2019). This degradation of performance affects systems deployed in real-world environments such as processing images for self-driving cars, processing street views, generating text, and examining cells and tissues through various scanners deployed. … Read more

    A gentle introduction to uncertainty quantification

    Success stories about artificial intelligence (AI) focus on its remarkable predictive power. Take, for instance, your smartphone’s ability to recognize your face on photos and collect them into a “Selfies” folder ready to supply snaps for social media. When it comes to more safety-critical tasks, like using facial recognition for security at a high-stakes research lab, simple … Read more
