Seminar Presentations

17 Sep '25

Dear all The seminar will take place (we have enough students). Please prepare a *nice* presentation. Pay particular attention to … 1. … estimating the time correctly (approx. 30-35'‘ talk -- preferably not shorter, but also not 45’). Practice the presentation at least once beforehand. 2. … assessing the target audience (very good master's students and ourselves (PhDs, Postdocs, and me). So please present your current state of research at a level that you would also aim for in a defense (with sufficient density and sufficient technical breadth and depth). You might also want to consider the checklist that the BSc and Mac should consider (see attachment). Dates: 22.10: Benjamin / Corina 29.10: Kalvin / Francesco 05.11: Linlin (or Merlin?) / Fereshteh Best, Kaspar

Dear Tobi ( I write in English because the group is reading cc). As agreed, we will meet on Monday, October 6, to start your PhD. However, if you would like to come by beforehand and set up, that is definitely possible. You can get the key for the office from Bettina Choffat (https://www.inf.unibe.ch/ueber_uns/team/choffat_bettina/index_ger.html). Your workspace will be in room 206 (I have put the computer and two older monitors for you on a free desk; we will buy two new monitors for you in January). If you need anything else (e.g., cables), Corina Masanti (PhD student in office 201 and responsible for orders) would be a good person to contact. See you soon!

Fwd: RSE community news
by Bettina Choffat 28 May '25

28 May '25

Dear all I am forwarding you the information about an event. Best wishes Bettina Dear RSE community Good news. We are happy to announce the first in person RSE meeting on *5 June 2025* at *15:30 - 17:00* at the University of Bern in *H4 115 *(main building at Hochschulstrasse 4). There will be two presentations: 1. *BORIS Portal - Present your Research* by /Sumanghalyah Suntharam/. BORIS Portal <https://boris-portal.unibe.ch/> links publications, research data, projects and researchers at the University of Bern together in an integrated system. As a research information system and institutional repository, it increases the visibility and transparency of scientific work. 2. *REDCap - Advantages and Limits* by /Muriel Helmers/ and /Flurina Jenal/. Are you planning to collect structured data at multiple locations? To conduct an online survey for your research project? Do you need a secure database or data entry in multiple languages? REDCap <https://project-redcap.org/> might be the right tool to check before writing your own programming code. We will give you an introduction and live session to REDCap, inform what services you can get for free at Uni Bern and what documentation is available to you. After the event there will be an *apero*, where the participants can enjoy having a conversation in an informal atmosphere with a snack and a drink. Please register at the registration page <https://www.dsl.unibe.ch/lab/rse_community/first_in_person_meeting_registra…> and import the invitation (ICS file in the attachment) into your calendar. Looking forward to see you there. Cheers, -- _____________________________ University of Bern Data Science Lab Interfaculty Core Facility Viktor Kovtun Scientific Employee (Research Software) Muesmattstrasse 27 3012 Bern Switzerland Telephone +41 31 684 58 27 rse.dsl(a)unibe.ch <mailto:rse.dsl@unibe.ch> http://www.dsl.unibe.ch/rse <https://www.dsl.unibe.ch/rse/>

PRG Meetings
by Riesen, Kaspar (INF) 19 Mar '25

19 Mar '25

Dear all Since our group will continue to grow in the near future (with two more PhDs in summer), I have decided to establish a second, more informal, forum alongside the seminar, so that we can meet as a group once a month. Main part of the meetings is that each of us shares key findings and challenges from the last month (as a starting point for deeper bilateral discussions and to promote collaboration by discussing intersections of our work). Beyond research, we will use this time to take care of planning and logistics and admin. More info can be found here: Group_Meetings_25.docx<https://unibe365.sharepoint.com/:w:/t/unibe-588.az/ESpyXlfY0kNNs_I8Baz0Va4B…> (I hope the link works) I have sent out invitations via the calendar — please reserve the following dates (it's not a problem at all if you can't make it on one or other of the dates): April 9, 13-14 May 7, after seminar June 11, 13-14 July 2, 13-14 August 13, 13-14 September 10, 13-14 October 15, 13-14 (or maybe after seminar) November 12, 13-14 (or maybe after seminar) December 10, 13-14 (or maybe after seminar) Best, Kaspar ------------------------------------------------------- PD Dr. Kaspar Riesen Head of the Pattern Recognition Group Institute of Computer Science Faculty of Science University of Bern, Switzerland kaspar.riesen(a)unibe.ch -------------------------------------------------------
