    Der Girls’Day – Mädchen-Zukunftstag ist ein bundesweites Projekt zur Berufs- und Studienorientierung von Mädchen. Am alljährlichen Aktionstag lernen Schülerinnen Berufe oder Studienfächer kennen, in denen der Frauenanteil unter 40 Prozent liegt. Am 25. April 2024 bekamen die Teilnehmerinnen zwischen 09:00 - 15:00 Uhr erneut die Gelegenheit, die Welt einer Wissenschaftlerin aus verschiedenen Standpunkten zu sehen. Gemeinsam mit dem Institut für künstliche Intelligenz beteiligten wir uns mit einem vielseitigen Angebot zu den Bereichen Bilderkennung, Chatbots und der künstlichen Intelligenz in Spielen. Zudem gaben die Forschenden Einblicke in ihren Alltag und beantworteten viele Fragen zur Anwendung und Funktionsweise von Künstlicher Intelligenz. Wir hatten eine Menge Spaß und freuen uns bereits auf das kommende Jahr. Wir bedanken wir uns bei allen Teilnehmerinnen und Mitwirkenden!

    1st and 3rd at BBO-Challenge@NeurIPS'20

    Prizewinner: Difan Deng and Marius Lindauer et al.
    AutoML.org & IOHprofiler, featuring the switching squirrel. After fixing a minor bug, our Switching Squirrel achieved a strong 3rd place at the black-box challenge at #NeurIPS2020 (#AutoML and Hyperparameter Optimization). On the warm-start friendly leaderboard, our Squirrel was even ranked 1st and was awarded an extra prize money. Our Squirrel combines ideas from (i) (simple) meta-learning by recognizing known configuration spaces, (ii) a diverse portfolio of acquisition functions, surrogate models and data transformations for Bayesian Optimization and (iii) differential evolution for a greedy final stage. It is the outcome of a joint collaboration between the groups from AutoML.org (tnt@Leibniz University Hannover and University of Freiburg) and IOHProfiler (Leiden University and Sorbonne University).
