ETH Tech Trends Workshop

ETH Tech Trends Workshop

The ETH University Communication was looking for new impulses on what would be possible with current and new technology. The brief for the tech trends workshop of Mike Hubmann and Simon Zogg was to give the communication department new ideas and take it out of its day-to-day business and incremental development cycles. The workshop was designed to create an inspiring environment that would enable participants to break out of their daily routines.

Together we explored the questions of how ETH should deal with the very fragmented media landscape, whether and how the logic of the API economy can be applied to ETH’s distributed publishing landscapes, and how AI can be used to personalise information. We discussed whether APIs can be used to generate newsfeeds, publications and platforms, or whether Web3 can provide platforms for reproducible science.

In the group work, it quickly became clear which areas could be addressed so that results could be achieved quickly. It also crystallised which new technologies allow the essential and strategic goals of ETH to be implemented significantly better.

  Februar 2019 Am Mittwoch 27. Februar fand bei Hinderling Volkart der 10. Digital-Shift Event zum Thema Data Science statt. All zu oft kommt bei Entscheidungen das HiPPO Modell zum Tragen (highest paid person’s opinion). Im Gegensatz dazu bietet Data Science eine Möglichkeit, Entscheidungen auf eine wissenschaftliche Grundlagen zu stützen. Seitdem immer grössere Datenmengen genutzt werden können und Methoden wie Maschine Learning zunehmend präzisere Aussagen machen können, finden tiefgreifende Veränderungen in der Entscheidungskultur statt. Thomas Ebermann von  Liip  führte ins Thema ein. Er ging auf die Frage ein, was braucht ein Unternehmen, um datenbasiert entscheiden zu können. Im Unternehmen müssen erstmals sehr viele Vorbedingungen erfüllt sein, bevor Methoden wie Machine Learning zum Einsatz kommen. Es kann sein, dass man ungenügend Daten hat, um Probleme zu klären wie, “Was wollen die Kunden”. Es kann auch sein, dass man zwar sehr viele Daten hat, aber in einer Hierarchie arbe

Swiss Re Riskscape is a research project that illustrates the global web of risks. The dynamic data visualisation combines several line diagrams on a cylindrical time axis, which show the number of networks. The factors lying next to each other can thus be compared and an overall picture of the development is created. The visualisation can be used as an interactive analysis tool on the Internet, or as a sculpture in exhibitions. Want to know more? Do you want to know more about this project?
