Dear all,
And another call for action:
Next Monday (June 16), I need someone from 9:30 - 10:00 to take care of
writing the protocol in an oral exam (Compiler Construction).
Again, this can be done by anyone, so please let me know who'd be available.
Best,
Timo
Dear all,
Please find below the slides of Wesley's presentation last Friday.

Hi Timo,
Thanks again for the invitation to be in person for the defense. Also,
congratulations to you, too, for the great work done by Alexander.
As promised, you can find the slides of my presentation in this link below:

Feel free to share you the members of your group.
Should anyone have any questions, please let me know.
If we can find opportunities for collaboration, that would be great.

Dear all,
Please find below an invitation to an event by the RSE (Research
Software Engineering) division of our UniBE Data Science Lab. There are
also activities on forming an RSE community across Switzerland, similar
to the ones that have been already established in DE and UK.
Unfortunately, I cannot join the event below, but I would like to see
SEG somehow represented there ;-)
Who has time and would be willing to go? (also fine to be there with 2
or 3 people)
Best,
Timo

Betreff: RSE: First in Person Event - Save the Date
Datum: Wed, 28 May 2025 10:03:34 +0200
Von: Kovtun, Viktor (DSL) <viktor.kovtun(a)unibe.ch>
An: Kehrer, Timo Benjamin (INF) <timo.kehrer(a)unibe.ch>
Hi Timo
So this is the invitation to the event I mentioned. There will be two
talks and the apero afterwards. There is also a calendar file in the
attachment.
Regarding my availability of June, from what I can see, it's probably
only on 30th. But my calendar is much more free from 7th July onward.
3rd July is also a possibility. Please tell me which day works for you,
and I can just save the date.
Thank you,
Viktor
------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
Regards,

Dear CUSO members,
We are excited to invite you to SympGraph 2025
(https://sympgraph25.inf.unibe.ch/), a one-day symposium dedicated to
graph-based representations in computer science, taking place on
Thursday, August 21, 2025, at the University of Bern, Switzerland.
SympGraph 2025 brings together young researchers working with graphs
across diverse areas such as:
- Machine learning and pattern recognition
- Formal methods and verification
- Programming languages and type systems
- Knowledge representation and logic
- Bioinformatics and chemoinformatics
- and others
The event is designed to foster collaboration, exchange ideas, and build
connections across disciplines. We especially encourage participation
from PhD students, postdocs, and early-career researchers who are
excited to present ongoing work or fresh ideas in a friendly, informal
setting. We’re also pleased to host two invited speakers:
- Prof. Andreas Fischer (HES-SO, HEIA Fribourg), an expert in
graph-based methods with extensive contributions to document analysis
and handwriting recognition.
- Prof. Benoit Gaüzère (INSA Rouen Normandie), whose research focuses on
graph data representation learning, including advancements in Graph
Neural Networks and applications in chemoinformatics.
Registration until July 15 is free, but required for planning purposes.
We look forward to seeing you in Bern!
Best regards,
The SympGraph 2025 Organizing Team
https://sympgraph25.inf.unibe.ch/
P.S. We’re happy to reimburse 2nd-class train travel within Switzerland,
and meals at the venue are free of charge, including coffee breaks, a
sandwich lunch, drinks, and a small aperitif at the end of the symposium.

Dear all,
this week Thursday and Friday, Wesley Assunção, Associate Professor with
the Department of Computer Science at North Carolina State University,
is visting us in Bern:
https://wesleyklewerton.github.io/
The primary reason is that he serves as examinor of Alex' PhD defense,
but he will also give a talk on Friday (separate invitation will
follow), and there will be also some time for informal chats.
Speaking about the informal part, we thought about having dinner
together on Thursday. For the sake of planning, if you'd like to join,
please let me know by tomorrow evening.
Best,
Timo

Dear all,
Since not all the students will present their work already on May 27 /
June 3, we can have presentations even later.
However, there are some deadlines we have to respect if the grading
should count for Spring Semester 2025.
In particular, the latest deadline I could negotiate with the JMCS
coordinator is August 20.
This is only for our Master's students, we can stretch until mid of
September for the Bachelor students.
Please just keep this in mind for the planning.
Best,
Timo
Dear all,
below, please find the invitation we just sent to the seminar students
for the presentations on May 27 and June 3.
Needless to say that all SEG members are very much encouraged to join
the talks and discussions.
Please note that there are still a few free slots on June 3, if you have
further seminar students who want to present
The "master plan" is in our GitLab:
