Today 🏴 Farshad Afshari 🏴 & Michael Röder are in Brussels to present NEBULA @BMBF_Bund's 10th Symposion on European Civil Security Research.👏 ℹ️NEBULA deals with research in the area of user-centered AI-based identification of fake news & misinformation. ➡️nebula.peasec.de


2023 is drawing to a close, so time to look back!👀🔄The year got off to a good start for DICE: a successful PhD defense🎓, the KnowGraphs ITN Winter School👥, acceptances for 2023 conferences🤩, the Bremen Big Data Challenge🧑💻 and Axel Ngonga becoming a Lamarr Fellow.👏


Part 2 to review the 2023 highlights of DICE👉Kickoff of SAIL Research Network⛵️, many many paper acceptances🚀, the ENEXA Hackathon UvA Amsterdam💻, another successful PhD defense🎓, presentations of our research at IJCAIconf ESWC Conferences , among other conferences👏


📣 We are delighted to announce: “How Sustainable is Artificial Intelligence?” Johns Hopkins University University Bloomberg Center, Washington, DC on March 20, 2024 !🤩 Join us for an engaging exploration of sustainable AI practices! ℹ️More infos & registration: dwih-newyork.org/en/event/owl-a…



A highlight on the second day of the AI Winter School: a large poster session for all doctoral students.🤩 Among them many PhD students from DICE KnowGraphs ITN, #LEMUR and SAIL Research Network. Keep up the good work!💪

A wonderful Winter School comes to an end. Three days packed with lectures, training sessions, networking, coffee breaks, poster sessions and lively discussions.💬🎓☕️👥🧑💻👩💻 Many thanks to everyone who took part, we hope you had a great week Universität Paderborn!🤩




We wish our colleague 𝕐asir 𝕄ahmood good luck with the presentation of the paper "Computing Repairs Under Functional and Inclusion Dependencies via Argumentation” at the #FoIKS conference in Sheffield next week!🤩👏 Curious about the paper? 👉 link.springer.com/chapter/10.100… #DICEreadme

We are proud to announce that two ✌️of our papers have been accepted for ESWC Conferences!🥳🤩 We will present at the conference in May: 1. "ESLM: Improving Entity Summarization by Leveraging Language Models" by Asep Fajar FIrmansyah, Diego Moussallem and Axel Ngonga (1/2)

and 2. "Efficient Evaluation of Conjunctive Regular Path Queries Using Multi-way Joins" by Nikolaos Karalis, Alexander Bigerl, Liss Heidrich, Mohamed Sherif and Axel Ngonga. The theme of this year's #ESWC is "Fabrics of Knowledge: Knowledge Graphs and Generative AI"🚀 (2/2).

📢We have a vacancy! A full-time position is available in TRR 318 Constructing Explainability, which involves scientific work on knowledge graphs & machine learning, contributing to the development of explainable artificial systems.🚀 ➡️More about the position and how to apply: uni-paderborn.de/fileadmin/zv/4…
