We are excited to announce the winners of LiLaComp, a competition initiated by our Living Lab. Our researchers were invited to propose innovative ideas for scientific demonstrators that the Living Lab will support creating in the upcoming months. Specifically, the Living Lab offers financial support, support in the design phase and support with the realization of the final product. Once created, we will showcase the demonstrators at national and international events, providing a great opportunity for visibility and networking for the creators. In the end, 16 affiliated and associated researchers proposed their demonstrator ideas for LiLaComp.

Winners of LiLaComp

We are delighted to announce the winners of LiLaComp, which were chosen following an internal voting within the Living Lab team and the public relations department. We thank everyone who proposed a demonstrator idea and congratulate the winners:

Chatopia

With the help of Chatopia, the users understand how to interact with the different social dynamics between agents. It provides a conceptual scaffolding to manage a large group of agents, rather than a single model / large language model (LLM). You will learn more out about the capabilities of LLMs to simulate the world. If we can simulate a world, then the training of models and agents can happen in the simulation. This is very fast (speed of the computer) while the matching real world counterpart of the simulation will be sample inefficient and take longer to train (speed of time).

RELATABLE

This demonstrator educates users in both the challenges with and potential of Reinforcement Learning-driven biomechanical simulations by providing an interactive, immersive, and engaging hands-on experience.

• Research Area: AI Algorithms and Methods
• Type: Virtual Reality App
• Creator: Dr. Arthur Fleig

Honorary mention: SciQAVerifier

The demonstrator makes the risks of AI-generated misinformation understandable to a broader audience while delivering a clear and impactful message on the importance of responsible and reliable AI in scientific contexts.

Where AI comes alive – the Living Lab of ScaDS.AI Dresden/Leipzig

Once the demonstrators are finished, you can experience them yourself in the Living Lab – a multi-faceted venue, exhibition space, teaching and education center, and laboratory. In our Living Lab, new methods and research results are communicated with and evaluated by the visitors from different target groups, so that diverse opinions can be immediately included in the ongoing research and innovation process. If you would like to visit the Living Lab and learn more about our demonstrators, join us for an event in the following locations:
