HLF

Explore the connections between mathematics and music at the La La Lab exhibition.
We love talking to young researchers and laureates at the Heidelberg Laureate Forum, and this year we produced a daily video diary to take everyone behind the scenes of this special digital HLF.
In this short video Clement Twumasi tells us about his work helping to understand a parasite that has been decimating fish populations around he world.
In this short video Briane Paul Samson tells us about his work developing intelligent algorithms to help us navigate on busy roads.
In this short video Yasmeen George talks to us about her work using machine learning to help diagnose disease from medical images.
Tosin Babasola tells us about his work using maths to model the effects of climate change on cocoa production.
We talk to young researchers who took part in the Heidelberg Laureate Forum 2020 about their work.
We catch up with four giants of maths to see where their mathematical journey has taken them since winning prestigious prizes.
In these articles and podcast we explore how agency is what distinguishes us humans from intelligent machines, and how machines might be taught to behave more like we do.
In this podcast we find out why true artificial intelligence will only become possible once machines have something that babies are born with: agency.
In this podcast we talk about magical concept of emergence and how we can model the behaviour of crowds of people.
In this podcast find out the basics of machine learning, and why time travel and immortality might be easier to achieve than human level artificial intelligence.
