SUMMARY:AI Academy I AI-Based Fact-Checking
DESCRIPTION:#Talk\nIn an era of rampant mis- and disinformation\, reliable fact-checking has become essential to protect public discourse and democratic institutions. Following a reflection on contemporary forms of fake news\, this talk explores the current state of AI-based multimodal fact-checking\, highlighting recent advances and persistent challenges. Get to know DEFAME\, our state-of-the-art fact-checking system that builds on our challenge-winning text-only predecessor\, InFact\, and now leads the field in multimodal claim verification. To conclude\, let us discuss open problems such as ambiguity\, media authenticity\, and trust in AI-generated verdicts. \n#Speaker \nMark Rothermel is a PhD student at the Multimodal AI Lab\, led by Prof. Dr. Anna Rohrbach and Prof. Dr. Marcus Rohrbach at TU Darmstadt. His research focuses on multimodal fact-checking. Together with Tobias Braun\, he developed the fact-checking system InFact\, which was awarded at the 2024 Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP) conference in Miami\, USA.

SUMMARY:Workshop on Modeling\, Optimization\, and Control in Biomedicine
DESCRIPTION:Optimization and control are fundamental to many problems in biomedicine. For instance\, in medical interventions\, the objective is often to eliminate pathogens efficiently while minimizing adverse side effects. Precision medicine takes this a step further\, aiming to tailor treatments to the unique characteristics of individual patients. \nA central aim of the workshop is integrating mechanistic modeling and data-driven insights with optimization and control methods for biomedical applications. In particular\, modern automatic differentiation tools—which form the backbone of many AI methods—are also highly valuable for calibrating and controlling complex dynamical systems in biomedicine and beyond. \nThe first day of the workshop will highlight recent advances in modeling\, optimization\, and control methods applied across a range of biomedical systems. The second day will be dedicated to exploring the complex interactions between the microbiome and antibiotics. As antibiotic resistance continues to rise\, there is a growing need for more targeted and judicious use of these drugs. However\, the intricate dynamics of multi-species bacterial ecosystems—and the challenges associated with managing them through antibiotic interventions—make treatment optimization in these contexts particularly demanding. \nWorkshop dates: August 28 and 29\, 2025 \nWorkshop location: Executive Learning Centre (2A)\, Frankfurt School of Finance & Management (Adickesallee 32–34\, 60322 Frankfurt am Main) \nFlyer \nProgram\, Registration and more Info here.
