Ankündigung: IEEE SB KA ISIC 2023!

/images/2023/poster_website.thumbnail.webp

Es freut es uns euch mitteilen zu dürfen, dass wir die mittlerweile achte IEEE Signal Intelligence Challenge ausrichten werden!

Wir haben diesmal ein nerdiges Motto, und das Motto lautet: "Tunnel-vision"

Dieses Jahr helfen wir Thraldronlir Orebuckle auf der Suche nach dem mystischen Adamant. Wer ihn auf seiner Suche unterstützt, wird mit hochwertigem Equipment und von Herzen kommenden Preisen belohnt, im besten Fall ist Thraldronlir dann ja reicher Betreiber einer Adamant Miene. Nachrichten von Thraldronlir können mit dem Affix „@TV#“ und dem Suffix „#isic“ identifiziert werden. Am 23.11. wird Glorisibelle Metalchin über den Erfolg oder Misserfolg derer entscheiden, die in ihre Fußstapfen treten wollen, also mal sehen ob wir Thraldronlir bis dahin den Vorteil verschaffen können, den er braucht. Also, @TV#Time to burrow!#isic

Stellt euer Team zusammen und helft einem nerdigen Zwerg dabei, sich zu beweisen! Wir haben auch wieder tolle Preise für euch organisiert! Die Infos zum Event werden gesammelt und laufend aktualisiert auf der Event-Page.

Ihr seid jetzt schon zu motiviert? Um die Zeit zu überbrücken schaut gerne mal in unsere Vorstellung der ISIC auf der GECON, dort könnt ihr einen kleinen Einblick in einige Rätsel von 2022 haben und schauen ob ihr sie anders lösen würdet als wir.

TLDR; Das Kick-Off-Event findet am 02.11.2023 um 19 Uhr im Seminarraum des Instituts für Nachrichtentechnik (CEL) in Gebäude 06.45 in der Hertzstraße 16, 76187 Karlsruhe (KIT Campus West) statt. Wir werden euch sowohl eine kleine Einführung in mögliche Tools geben, als auch die Möglichkeit euch in Teams zusammenzufinden. Kommt also zum Kick-Off auch wenn ihr noch niemand Gleichgesinntes für das Lösen der Signal Intelligence Challenge gefunden habt!

Call for Papers: Local Student Paper Contest

Science Spotlight: Medical Engineering & Local Student Paper Contest

/images/2023/Plakat_Science_Spotlight_MedicalEngineering2023.thumbnail.png

We are happy to announce our next Science Spotlight titled Science Spotlight: Medical Engineering. This event will be hosted in conjunction with the kickoff for our local student paper contest.

We will host this event on July 25th at the FZI House of Living Labs Haid-und-Neu-Straße, 76131 Karlsruhe starting at 16:00.

We have a preliminary agenda assembled:

Kick-Off Local Student Paper Contest

We will start at 16:00 with a short introduction into the idea and the rules for the student paper contest. If you are interested in participating in the student paper contest we recommend you attend this presentation and also you can stay after the event and we will try to answer any open questions.

FZI Presentations (Oliver Werthwein M.Sc. & Lara Schweickart M.Sc.)

Following the kick-off of the local student paper contest we will have two short presentations about the medical engineering research conducted at FZI. One presentation will cover the use of AI for analysis and assessment of physical exercises and another presentation will give as an introduction to virtual patient round and contactless recogniction of skin changes in the context of telemedicine.

FZI House of Living Labs - Tour

For an entertaining break in-between presentations we are happy that the FZI will give a tour through their House of Living Labs, showing more of their research in the field of medical engineering. This will include parts of the previously presented topics. We are excited to get a nice insight into the work at FZI House of Living Labs.

Presentation by CEO of corvolution GmbH (Dr. Silvester Fuhrhop)

Our presenter will give as an insight into the work done at the Start-Up corvolution on the topic of developing algorithms and sensor for long-term monitoring of a range of vital signs.

We will provide cold drinks and snacks for all participants and to allow for some cozy Get-Together after the presentations.

Announcement: Science Spotlight Machine Learning

/images/2023/Plakat_Science_Spotlight2023.thumbnail.jpg

We are happy to announce or first Science Spotlight event focusing on varied research on Machine Learning in different areas of engineering. The Science Spotlight will take place on the 20th of March 2023 at the Communication Engineering Lab (CEL), room 213/214 in building 06.45 at the campus west, starting at 16:00. We welcome all students, researchers and IEEE members that are interested in the topics.

We have planned three presentations and one demostration:

AI-Native Wireless: Transforming Wireless Design with Deep Learning (Ass. Prof. Tim O'Shea Ph.D.)

Over the past decade, deep learning has revolutionized signal processing in fields like speech, language, and vision. But it's also transforming the world of wireless signal transmission quickly. In this talk, we'll explore how data-driven approaches are used to design machine learning-based radio signal detection, identification, and localization. We'll also discuss how machine learning is being used to create signal transmitters, receivers, and encodings for wireless signals. This exciting area of research has already yielded some impressive prototypes and results and is sure to play a significant role in the future of OpenRAN 5G, 5G Advanced, and 6G wireless systems. Join us to learn more about the software challenges and research trends in this field, and how AI-native communications create disruption.

Policy Learning for Robotics (Prof. Dr. Gerhard Neumann)

Machine learning, robotics and human-robot interaction pose multiple interesting research questions. We will dive into how human non-expert can intuitively teach a robot complex skills as well as allow a robot to learn how to assist and collaborate with humans in an intelligent way.

Developing Neuromorphic Systems (Brian Pachideh M.Sc., & Alexandru Vasilache M.Sc.)

Our colleaugues at FZI design systems that differ from the classical artificial neural networks and will present us challenges and advantages of designing systems closer corresponding to the biological inspiration that seeding the research into neural networks.

For better easier planning, please register here.

TLDR; The Science Spotlight is taking place on the 20.03.2023 starting at 16:00 in room 213/214 at the Communication Engineering Lab (CEL) in building 06.45 at Hertzstraße 16, 76187 Karlsruhe (KIT Campus West). There will be snacks, there will be drinks and hopefully lots of interesting discussion. Anyone interested is invited. For better easier planning, please register here.

ISIC 2022 - Finale

/images/2022/isic2022_finale.thumbnail.jpg

Vergangene Woche ist die 7. IEEE Signal Intelligence Challenge zu Ende gegangen. Nach einem turbulenten Endspurt um die Plätze 2 & 3 hat sich folgende Reihenfolge ergeben: Platz 1 ging wohlverdient an das Team "Die Schlaflosen" mit 2516 Punkten. Mit einem Paukenschlag hat es dieses Team geschafft jede ihnen gestellte Challenge zu lösen! Die Plätze zwei und drei haben sich die Teams "Die Transformierten Fourien" mit 1655 Punkten und "Kein Plan" mit 1545 Punkten aufgeteilt.

Die Siegerehrung fand wie gewohnt im Rahmen des Thanksgiving Events statt. Die Teilnehmer konnten einem höchst spannenden Fachvortrag von Dr. Nico Otterbach von der Firma Rohde & Schwarz zum Thema "Sichere Kommunikation auf SDR-Basis" lauschen. Wir sind sehr froh, dass uns der CEL und KIT Alumnus mit einem Einblick in den spannenden Alltag der sicheren Kommunikationstechnik beehrt hat und hoffen, dass auch die diesjährigen Teilnehmer der ISIC etwas davon mitnehmen konnten.

/images/2022/isic2022_vortrag.thumbnail.jpg

Im Anschluss wurden die Preise an die Sieger vergeben. Platz 1 & 2 erhielten ein SDR, das uns dankenswerterweise von der Firma Analog Devices bereitgestellt wurde, und zwar einen "ADALM-PLUTO", damit können die Teilnehmer nun auch außerhalb der ISIC mit "echten" Signalen experimentieren und ihre Kenntnisse aus dem Studium erweitern. Weiterhin erhielten die Plätze 1 bis 3 noch Raspberry PI PC-400 KITs, die uns von der Firma Rohde & Schwarz bereit gestellt wurden, für allerhand spaßigen Programmier- und Entwicklungsprojekte. Alle teilnehmenden Teams erhielten Gutscheine fürs Vogelbräu, die aus der finanziellen Unterstützung der Firma Procitec.

Wir möchten uns nochmals recht herzlich bei unseren Sponsoren Rohde & Schwarz, Analog Devices und Procitec für die Unterstützung bedanken!
