The Chair in Information and Service Systems at Saarland University focuses on the development and management of data-driven services as well as the use of artificial intelligence methods in areas such as industrial manufacturing, healthcare, wellness, and sports, among others. Under the leadership of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Wolfgang Maaß, the chair investigates how the application of experimental design methods in combination with distributed data analytic approaches leads to adaptive service designs and innovative business solutions. In cooperation with leading research and industry partners, this research is conducted in both fundamental and applied research projects. The research results are applied and validated in industrial projects of the Smart Service Engineering (SSE) research department at the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI).
Highlights from AAAI Symposium 2023
Our team member Cicy K. Agnes gave a remarkable talk on “SNOOP-Method: Faithfulness of Text Summarizations for Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms” at the prestigious Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) Symposium in Singapore!
Wolfgang Maass, Cicy K. Agnes, Maxx R. Rahman, and Jonas S. Almeida authored the paper accompanying the talk. The article presents the SNOOP method, our innovative approach that uses embedding transformation models to evaluate fidelity and hallucination in different LLM summaries. The method provides an integrated view of the results and facilitates rapid assessment for physicians.
What a ride! On 30.06.2023 our research project SPAICER ended. After an intensive 6-month competition phase in 2018, the project started on 01.04.2020 – in the middle of the first Covid lockdown. The project aimed to develop Smarter Resilience Services to increase the resilience of manufacturing companies to crises. It was funded by BMWK as part of the 1st AI Innovation Competition. Thanks to all partners with whom we were able to make the industry more resilient and experience a lot together: exciting consortium meetings, dynamic hackathons, great trade shows and conversations with the industry.
Wolfgang Maaß is professor in Business Informatics at Saarland University, scientific director at Deutsche Forschungszentrum für Künstliche Intelligenz (DFKI), and adjunct professor Stony Brook University Health Sciences Center School of Medicine, NY.
