"Democratizing Models" Workshop

25 Nov 2024, 09:00 → 26 Nov 2024, 16:00 Europe/Zurich

NB2/170 (Ruhr-Universität Bochum Campus)

Mikhail Mikhasenko (Ruhr Univeristy Bochum)

Discussion of the plans for upcoming ErUM Data call. 

Pitch

Scientific progress often stalls when models remain inaccessible or unreproducible after publication. "Democratizing Models" introduces an AI-driven platform with three core pillars: a standardized model format for human-readable serialization, a sharing portal for open accessibility, and an AI-driven encoding interface to simplify model preparation and reuse. Pushed forward by an interdisciplinary consortium, the project tackles great challenges across a diverse range of applications, from enabling proper presentation of systematic and model uncertainties to breaking down complex nested models. This initiative paves the way for wide collaboration and innovation across disciplines.

We welcome to collaborators interested to extend domain of application and expertise of the consortium, please get in touch! The time table is preliminary, get in touch if you like to present something.

Information about the BMBF call

• Announcement and documents on indico
• The full list of founded projects is kept secret. Here is a list of ErUM-related project

 

Actual information (15-Jul-2025) on the upcoming funding period of ErUM-Data

Announcement of ErUM-Data call expected for autumn/winter 2024,
Deadline for submitting applications expected mid January 2025,
Start of funding period 1. Oct. 2025.

Coordination meeting

On November 4th in Aachen, link to indico

Accommodation

The meeting is confined in two days, participants are invited to spend one night in Bochum. There are many different options for hotel, here are a few cheep ones:

• accessible accommodation in RUB campus is LSI, that would cost about 60EUR with a breakfast,
• Other good options is DJH in the city center,
