Doctoral student Fabian Laumer and his colleagues are using machine learning to develop new personalised 3D models of the beating human heart. Their objective is to assist clinicians and improve the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, the most prevalent cause of deaths worldwide.

Psychologist Verena Zimmermann joins computer scientists Joachim Buhmann and Elgar Fleisch to discuss whether our feelings can be measured, what role they play in human-​machine interactions, and the use of smart technologies.

Professors David Basin and Joachim Buhmann as well as former doctoral student Mario Frank have received the Symposium on Access Control Models and Technologies (SACMAT) Test of Time Award.

Congratulations to Zsolt István, Stefan Bauer, and Josip Djolonga for obtaining the ETH Medal for their outstanding doctoral theses.

ETH Professor and computer scientist Joachim Buhmann works intensively on healthcare issues. In an interview with ETH News, he explains how computer models will make their way into the world of medicine, and talks about models that are so complicated that humans can no longer process them alone.

Big data, artificial intelligence, industry 4.0 – the new opportunities information technologies offer will change the world. Take a glimpse inside the world of researchers who teach machines how to think.

The machines that surround us in everyday life are not only becoming more intelligent, they’re also turning into gifted learners. To prepare the next generation of computer scientists for the challenges presented by this rapidly developing research area, ETH Zurich has joined forces with the Max-​Planck-Institute for Intelligent Systems.

ETH and the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems have joined forces to form a research network in learning systems.

Nowadays, evaluating large amounts of data enables us to examine issues for which there were still no viable theories until only recently. Two ETH computer science-​professors, Joachim M. Buhmann and Donald Kossmann, explain how this will change society.

Data is treasure: new worlds open up to organisations that understand how to scoop useful information out of unstructured data. At the President of ETH Zurich’s "Lokaltermin", researchers and business representatives revealed how data could serve a broad public in future.
