Professor Iryna Gurevych will be bringing her expertise to the new Max Planck School of Biomedical Artificial Intelligence
Professor Iryna Gurevych, ATHENE Distinguished Professor and Director of the Ubiquitous Knowledge Processing (UKP) Laboratory at TU Darmstadt, has been appointed a Fellow of the newly established Max Planck School of Biomedical Artificial Intelligence. Her internationally recognised expertise in computational linguistics and artificial intelligence will strengthen an interdisciplinary research network investigating fundamental scientific questions at the intersection of biomedicine and AI.
The Max Planck School of Biomedical Artificial Intelligence unites internationally renowned researchers from 24 institutions whose areas of expertise range from image and language processing to immunology. The overarching goal is to establish a graduate programme that utilises advanced AI methods for fundamental research in life sciences, while also exploring potential future applications.
Prof. Dr. Iryna Gurevych contributes her research on the interpretability and control of large language models, and on the automated detection of multimodal disinformation. She also applies this expertise specifically within the framework of her ATHENE Distinguished Professorship.
Prof. Dr. Iryna Gurevych is one of the world's leading experts in AI and computational linguistics. As the first LOEWE Distinguished Professor in the state of Hesse, of the State of Hesse, a member of the Leopoldina and a Milner Award recipient from the Royal Society of London, she will bring outstanding expertise to the new network. At ATHENE, her research focuses on Reliable and Verifiable Information through Secure Media (REVISE), Secure Digital Transformation in Healthcare (SeDiTraH) and Security and Privacy in Artificial Intelligence (SenPAI).
Further information on Prof. Dr. Iryna Gurevych’s research within the framework of the ATHENE Distinguished Professorship can be found in the press release and on the project website: https://ai-safety.ukp-lab.de.
