Meeting global challenges with artificial intelligence is in tune with the times. - It is no coincidence that the motto of this year's GIL conference was: "Promoting biodiversity through digital agriculture: What contribution can AI and co. make?". In keeping with the theme, the Research Training Group of the Joint Lab AI & DS was able to present itself in its own parallel poster session at the University of Hohenheim on February 27 and 28, 2024.
How can deep learning help to record biodiversity in agroforestry systems? Will soil maps ensure that agricultural practices can be adapted on a small scale and in line with demand in the future? The doctoral and postdoctoral researchers presented these and other questions to interested visitors on a total of 14 posters in the University of Hohenheim's Katharinasaal, which was made available especially for this purpose during the GIL conference.
The closed participation as Joint Lab AI & DS at the event can certainly be described as the first test of the cooperation in the professional world, as the project groups and the research program could be presented publicly to this extent for the first time. The event was also a good opportunity for the young scientists to gain practice in creating scientific posters and to reflect on and sharpen their projects.
