Professor Jin Xu (East China Normal University) will give a talk on 17 December on Bayesian Optimization via Exact Penalty. 🎓📊

🕒 14:15–15:00
📍 TU Dortmund, M/E 21

EPBO shows how complex equality and resource constraints can be solved more efficiently – relevant for research, students, and anyone using data-driven methods. 🔍✨

We’re celebrating a very special milestone at RC Trust today 🎓🌱

Dr. Carina Newen has just defended our first fully “home-grown” PhD in trustworthy AI. Her work connects explainable AI, robust AI and uncertainty quantification to tackle a question that matters to politics, industry, science and the public: when can we genuinely trust AI systems – and how can they communicate their own uncertainty in a transparent way? 🤖📊💡

🎉 Professor Sven Mayer’s inaugural lecture marked an exciting new chapter at TU Dortmund’s Faculty of Computer Science and the UA Ruhr’s RC Trust!

🤖 His research explores how AI can think with us – creating intelligent environments that act transparently, learn continuously, and support people in meaningful ways. 🌍💡

🎉 We’re welcoming Sabine Wehnert to TrustHLT (RC Trust, UA Ruhr)!

She develops practical Legal NLP: extracting textbook knowledge, linking it to statutes & case law, and testing retrieval for performance, bias robustness & explainability—so legal AI is reliable and justifiable in practice.

👉 What capability should trustworthy legal AI deliver next?
