Beyond Prediction: How Causal AI Enables Better Decision-Making - With Stefan Feuerriegel

Research Film

A good prediction is rarely a good decision. This may sound surprising in an age where AI is often celebrated for its predictive power. But when it comes to making real-world decisions — especially in complex environments like business or healthcare — prediction alone doesn’t cut it. What we need is AI that can help us choose what to do, not just …

Capturing Complexity in Surgical Environments

MCML Research Insight - With Ege Özsoy, Chantal Pellegrini, Felix Tristram, Kun Yuan, David Bani-Harouni, Matthias Keicher, Benjamin Busam and Nassir Navab

Imagine an operating room - a space filled with intricate interactions, rapid decisions, and precise movements. Now, imagine capturing every detail of such a complex environment not just visually but also through sound, dialogue, robot movements, and much more. This is exactly what MM-OR – A Large Multimodal Operating Room Dataset for Semantic …

How Neural Networks Are Changing Medical Imaging – With Reinhard Heckel

Research Film

Clear imaging is essential for accurate diagnosis — but when it comes to the heart, motion makes it one of the most difficult organs to capture in high resolution. Traditional reconstruction methods often struggle to deliver the detail clinicians need.

What Words Reveal: Analyzing Language in the Trump–Harris 2024 Debate

MCML Research Insight - With Philipp Wicke

In presidential debates, every word counts - not only what candidates say but how they say it. Words are carefully selected to resonate with voters’ values, fears, and hopes. A new insightful study by MCML Junior Member Philipp Wicke and Marianna M. Bolognesi dives deep into the September 10, 2024 debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris.
