Timon Gehr mit IBM PhD Fellowship Award ausgezeichnet
Timon Gehr, Doktorand vom Secure, Reliable, and Intelligent Systems Lab (SRI), wurde mit dem prestigeträchtigen IBM PhD Fellowship Award ausgezeichnet
Timon Gehr's work sits at the intersection of probabilistic and symbolic reasoning and focuses on making artificial intelligence more safe, trustworthy and explainable. During his PhD, he developed a new, state-of-the-art probabilistic programming language and solver, called externe SeitePSI, which allows for precise reasoning of rich probabilistic models. He has also developed new methods and systems for certifying and reasoning about deep neural networks.
About the Award
IBM created the externe SeitePhD Fellowship program in the 1950's to recognize and support outstanding graduate students. The IBM PhD Fellowship Awards Program is an intensely competitive worldwide program, which honors exceptional PhD students who have an interest in solving problems that are important to IBM and fundamental to innovation in many academic disciplines and areas of study. This includes pioneering work in: cognitive computing and augmented intelligence; quantum computing; blockchain; data-centric systems; advanced analytics; security; radical cloud innovation; next-generation silicon (and beyond); and brain-inspired devices and infrastructure.
