Risks and solutions when using non-stationary training data in earth system science Online Discovery - AI for Earth and Sustainability Science

online

Earth system science increasingly relies on machine learning to analyze complex, multivariate, and spatiotemporal data. However, the validity of these models critically depends on the assumption that training and deployment data share similar statistical properties – a condition often violated in real-world environmental applications. This presentation addresses the risks associated with non-stationary training data distributions, arising from climate change, evolving land use, or sensor shifts over time. We show how such distribution shifts can lead to degraded model performance, biased predictions, and misleading scientific conclusions. Through different examples, we illustrate the mechanisms and consequences of non-stationarity. We then discuss methodological solutions, including domain adaptation, continual learning, and uncertainty quantification techniques, that help mitigate these effects and improve model robustness. By combining insights from machine learning and earth system science, this talk aims to foster awareness of distributional risks and promote the development of adaptive, interpretable, and trustworthy models for understanding and predicting Earth’s dynamic systems.

49nd HiRSE Seminar | “Before Distributing Research Software - Impulses from an RSE&TTO-Perspective”

via Zoom

Dirk Feuchter from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) will join us at the HiRSE Seminar Series to talk about “Before Distributing Research Software - Impulses from an RSE&TTO-Perspective”

Before distributing research software, several considerations arise from both Research Software Engineering (RSE) and Technology Transfer Office (TTO) perspective. This talk addresses scenarios where RSEs approach the TTO to exploit and license RSE’s software to industry partners, spin-offs, or to explore via open-source business models. Let us outline the minimum requirements for a license-compliant software distribution and discuss whether RSEs can proactively collaborate on these preparations. Drawing on a common contribution to deRSE25, initial lessons learned will be shared, including essential information for source code files and tools such as Reuse and Fossology that might support for compliance. Finally, we highlight how to deal with emerging regulations like the Cyber Resilience Act or the new Product Liability Directive. The seminar is intended to encourage discussion on integrating compliance tools into development workflows to enhance sustainability and value of our research software developments.

Sicherheitsrelevanter KI-Einsatz und Verantwortung von Informatiker:innen

Die GEMEINNÜTZIGE, Großer Saal, Königstr. 5, 23552 Lübeck

Mit der zunehmenden Bedeutung der Digitalisierung und insbesondere der Verbreitung von Künstlicher Intelligenz (KI) wachsen die Anforderungen an die verantwortungsvolle Entwicklung solcher Systeme. Informatikerinnen und Informatiker sind hier besonders in der Pflicht. Die EU hat mit dem AI Act das weltweit erste Gesetz zum verantwortungsvollen Einsatz von KI erlassen und dafür sowohl Lob als auch Kritik geerntet. Im Kern der KI-Verordnung werden vier Risikoklassen definiert und zusätzlich Regeln für den Einsatz von sogenannten General Purpose AI (GPAI) models definiert, wie sie etwa in großen Sprachmodellen wie ChatGPT, Gemini oder spezialisierten KI-Modellen etwa zur Bilderzeugung wie Midjourney oder DALL-E eingesetzt werden. Der Vortrag wird der Frage nachgehen, wie berufsethische Grundsätze für den verantwortungsvollen Umgang mit Hochrisiko-Anwendungen und sicherheitskritischen Systemen, Dual-Use und militärischen Einsatzszenarien aussehen könnten. An einigen Fallbeispielen (Drohnen, KI-Einsatz bei Cyberangriffen, Online-Marketing) wird gezeigt, wie schwierig die Abgrenzung zwischen den verschiedenen Risikoklassen ist, wie sie vom AI Act definiert werden.

Vortrag: Prof. Dr. Hannes Federrath, Universität Hamburg, Fachbereich Informatik

Der Eintritt zur Veranstaltung ist frei. Für die Teilnahme vor Ort ist eine Anmeldung erforderlich unter https://cloud.adwhh.de/index.php/apps/forms/s/EZ6xAa9PEfGLgGnmLLsJSRLG. Sie erhalten von uns eine Bestätigung.

Digitale Prüfungen, KI im Prüfungskontext & gute wissenschaftliche Praxis

via Zoom

Mit dem schlagartigen Aufkommen von KI-Generatoren für unterschiedlichste Medienformen seit Ende 2022 stehen Hochschulen hinsichtlich ihrer Lehre und ihrer digitalen Prüfungsumsetzung enormen Möglichkeiten aber auch Herausforderungen gegenüber. Neben Fragen des Urheberrechts und des Datenschutzes ist insbesondere der Bereich des Prüfungsrechts von diesen Entwicklungen betroffen und es bedarf geeigneter Maßnahmen für einen konstruktiven Umgang mit dieser technologischen Revolution.

Dabei stellt sich vor allem auch die Frage: Können per KI-Generator erstellte Texte und Medieninhalte überhaupt als künstlich generierte Inhalte erkannt und detektiert werden? Und wenn ja, wie verlässlich sind die Ergebnisse von KI-Detektoren und wie lassen sich diese im Prüfungsrecht berücksichtigen? Auch ergibt sich bei solch rasanten Technologieentwicklungen immer die Notwendigkeit einer staatlichen Regulierung, wie sie im Zuge des EU AI-Act beabsichtigt wird. Welche Implikationen bringt diese Regulierung allgemein und speziell für den Hochschulbereich mit sich?

Diesen und weiteren Fragen wollen wir uns im Rahmen dieses Workshops annähern und anschließend gemeinsam mit allen Teilnehmenden vertiefend darüber diskutieren.

Schwerpunkte sind:

  • KI-VO-E bzw. AI-Act (Entwurf)
  • Hochschulgesetze (der Länder, insbesondere Hamburg)
  • Studien- und Prüfungsordnungen

Learning without labels: New insights into climate and extremes

online

Climate variability and weather extremes pose profound challenges for prediction, preparedness, and resilience. Traditional approaches often rely on predefined indices or supervised learning methods, which can overlook unexpected patterns or reinforce biases inherent in labeled datasets. This keynote explores how unsupervised learning techniques can uncover hidden patterns in high-dimensional climate data. I will highlight recent innovations that adapt established methods to reveal properties not captured by conventional architectures, offering new perspectives on modes of variability and extreme events. For instance, a knowledge-guided autoencoder can disentangle distinct Pacific climate modes with differing spectral signatures, while a custom hyperparameter search can optimize self-organizing maps to produce smooth, interpretable pathways among weather regimes. Together, these advances help uncover processes and mechanisms that may underlie established climate and weather phenomena. Ultimately, unsupervised learning provides a powerful lens for scientific discovery, with implications for understanding, prediction, and decision-making in a changing climate.

Hands-on-Workshop: masterarbeit_final221jetztaberwirklich.doc oder wie ich lernte, Versionsverwaltung zu lieben

DH-Lab der Bibliothek im Philturm (C2003)

Dr. Jonas Müller-Laackman, Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek

Bei kreativen Arbeiten geht dem finalen Produkt in der Regel eine Vielzahl von Arbeitsversionen voraus, seien es Skizzen, Ideen, ein erster Entwurf, oder die zahlreichen Varianten an Text, die in einem Begutachtungsprozess entstehen. Um dabei nicht den Überblick zu verlieren, ist ein gutes Selbstmanagement eine wichtige Voraussetzung. Dabei kann ein Konzept aus der Softwareentwicklung helfen, das sich in einigen Disziplinen und im Forschungsdatenmanagement bereits fest etabliert hat: Die Versionskontrolle oder das “Versionieren”. Im Workshop lernen Sie zunächst die Grundlagen der Versionierung und ihre praktische Umsetzung im wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten. Anschließend werden Sie erste Schritte in der Versionierungssoftware Git gehen, die Basisfunktionen von Git erlernen, und erfahren, wie man Git allein oder mit Kolleg:innen zur Zusammenarbeit nutzen kann. Ziel des Workshops ist es, eine theoretische und praktische Grundlage zu entwickeln, die bereits im Alltag eingesetzt werden kann. Darüber hinaus ist es möglich, weitergehende Perspektiven auf fortgeschrittene Funktionen wie Branches, Forks und den Umgang mit Konflikten zu erhalten. Technische Vorkenntnisse sind nicht vonnöten. Bitte bringen Sie Ihren eigenen Laptop mit, auf dem Sie zuvor Git (https://git-scm.com/downloads) installiert haben. Ein Zugang zum GitLab (https://gitlab.rrz.uni-hamburg.de/) der UHH sollte zudem bestehen.

About the speaker

Jocelyn Maclure is Full Professor of Philosophy and Jarislwosky Chair in Human Nature and Technology at McGill University. His current work addresses various topics in the philosophy of artificial intelligence and in social epistemology. In 2023, he was Mercator Visiting Professor for AI in the Human Context at the University of Bonn. His recent articles appeared in journals such as Minds & Machines, AI & Ethics, AI & Society and Digital Society. He was the president of the Quebec Ethics in Science and Technology Commission—and advisory body of the Quebec Government—from 2017 to 2024. Before turning his attention to the philosophy of AI, he published extensively in moral and political philosophy, including, with Charles Taylor, Secularism and Freedom of Conscience (Harvard University Press (2011). He was elected to the Royal Society of Canada in 2023.

The talk explores the question of whether Artificial Intelligence (AI) can truly create art, or if there is an essential “human factor” in art production. Against the background of AI’s growing capabilities, traditional concepts in art theory like authorship are reconsidered. It is argued that authorship is a necessary condition for art, while aesthetic responsibility is at least a necessary condition for authorship of artworks. Although AI can function as an aesthetic agent, it cannot bear aesthetic responsibility. Therefore, it can neither on its own nor in cooperation with humans be the author of artworks. However, AI is able to produce objects that are in their manifest properties indistinguishable from works of art, I will speak of “fake art.” It will be shown to what extent the massive occurrence of AI-generated fake art has a detrimental effect on art practice.

Public Lecture Series: Taming the Machines. Implicit Knowledge in Human-Machine Relationships. A Philosophical Investigation

Main Building, Edmund-Siemers-Allee 1, Flü­gelbau Ost, 2. OG, Raum O221
Prof. Dr. Gabriele Gramelsberger (RWTH Aachen)
 
Following Mark Weiser’s vision from 1991 that the digital of the 21st century weaves itself “into the fabric of everyday life” until it is “indistinguishable from it,” we are today facing an evolution of the digital toward its naturalization. In this context, the miniaturization of technology plays an important role, but even more so the increasingly natural access to the digital, which brings the digital closer to emotions, affects and intuitions. The term “naturalization” ambiguously refers on the one hand to the digital as a technology that becomes (second) nature, and on the other hand to the naturalization (citizenship) of us in the digital sphere. The lecture analyses from a philosophical perspective the increasing acceptance of digital technology as an affective infrastructure and the phenomenological consequences for us. In particular, the concept of implicit knowledge (Michael Polanyi) plays an increasingly important role in this naturalization process. However, naturalization does not answer the question of whether machines or we as individuals will be tamed. Looking at current developments, it seems more likely that we will be the ones who will have to adapt to the rationality of machines.

Digital Transformation of Research and Digital Centers in the Science Landscape

This Dagstuhl Seminar seeks to ignite a focused dialogue on the strategic positioning and practical implementation of digital transformation in scientific research. Central to our discussion will be the role of Digital Centers or Hubs as flagship components of modern research infrastructure and the significance of Research Software Engineering (RSE) and Research Data Management (RDM) as essential enablers of their success.

The seminar's guiding question is: How can digital transformation be effectively embedded in the research landscape? Should it be steered centrally via comprehensive digital centers or emerge through decentralized, institution-driven initiatives? We will explore the strengths, limitations, and potential synergies of both models, with the goal of deriving actionable insights for sustainable digital infrastructure strategies.

Another focus is on the tension between disciplinary specificity and transdisciplinarity: Should digital competence centers closely align with specific research domains, or should they work across disciplines to foster collaboration and shared innovation? Understanding this balance is crucial for building effective, scalable digital ecosystems across institutions and research communities.
