From Detecting Fake News to Forecasting Extreme Weather: St. Pรถlten UAS Pools Artificial Intelligence Expertise
The new centre conducts basic and application-oriented research on the topic of artificial intelligence (AI) that covers the entire spectrum from fundamental AI methodology to the implementation of innovative AI-based applications across the boundaries of disciplines. The new centre is active in research and development in five key focus areas: human-centered AI, trustworthy AI, multimedia AI, AI engineering, and AI economics.
Over the past few years, staff members of the centre have already applied artificial intelligence to several practical topics: a Fake News Detector that automatically recognises false information in social media; the faster and more short-term forecasting of extreme weather through the analysis of fault data from mobile networks; a method to automatically detect sexism in social media; and a process that allows companies to automatically ascertain licence violations in software products. Another important research topic involves making AI explainable, i.e., showing how the models reach their decisions, for example in the field of human gait analysis.

Innovative Solutions across Disciplinary Boundaries
“In our work, we strive to advance AI research and generate tangible benefits for individuals, companies, society and the environment by adopting innovative approaches”, saysย Torsten Priebe, head of the Data Intelligence research group and one of the new centre’s coordinators.
“The new centre allows us to pool our strengths in the field of artificial intelligence. This interdisciplinary collaboration enables us to come up with solutions to major societal issues and for companies”, explains Hannes Raffaseder, Chief Research and Innovation Officer of the St. Pรถlten UAS.
Higher Education Alliance, Congresses, and Publications
Artificial intelligence is also one of the three research topics of the European Universities Alliance EยณUDRESยฒ (Engaged and Entrepreneurialย European Universityย as Driver for European Smart and Sustainable Regions) coordinated by the St. Pรถlten UAS.ย Torsten Priebeย from the Center for Artificial Intelligence represents the UAS within the framework of the key area “Human Contribution to AI”, currently with a focus on the collection and analysis of sensor data for smart and sustainable agriculture inย Europe.
