Topics
This year, we have invited national and international experts to Dresden to give you in-depth insights into the latest research developments, especially around the leading topic how to cope with large AI models. Here both is needed, large-scale and high quality training data and the capability to train large AI models on them. Therefore, amongst other contributions, the summer school will focus this year on large AI models, in particular for Natural Language Processing, the acquisition and management of community data as well as the handling of both on required computing architectures.

The quality and availability of NLP models has been tremendously increased in the past months, both by using large amounts of data and large computing infrastructures. Therefore experts working in this field will cover the latest developments and extend possibilities around NLP to further application scenarios besides the chat approach. We will extend this topic into community data preparation for AI and the strategies to process data and models for relevant applications. The keynotes will be given by international experts from their fields, among others including:
- Prof. Dr. Georg Rehm, DFKI
- Prof. Dr. Ryszard Kowalczyk, University of South Australia
- Richard Socher, you.com
- Prof. Dr. Immanuel Trummer, Cornell University
as well as many other experts from our competence center and other research institutions.
