With this we explore the transformative potential of AI in facilitating interdisciplinary research, enhancing learning experiences, and reducing academic workload. It delves into specific AI-driven tools that can democratize knowledge access, benefit both generalists and specialists, and streamline administrative tasks. The presentation aims to stimulate discussions on responsibly harnessing AI… Read More
This article shows the applicability of both classical and quantum machine learning algorithms on several data sets. Here, the authors developed one of the data sets based on quantum mechanical symmetry properties. The results show that classical machine learning algorithms still perform best in terms of accuracy and runtime, even… Read More
New paper “Send and Pretend: Exploiting Transcript Consistency Issues in End-to-End Encrypted Group Chats”, was recently accepted for the 35th USENIX Security Symposium. The paper is a collaboration between SBA, the University of Vienna, and the Interdisciplinary Transformation University Austria (IT:U). It was authored by Gabriel K. Gegenhuber, Moritz Grefner, Maximilian Günther, Matthäus Wininger, David Schmidt, and Aljosha Judmayer. ∞
