In an age where AI can generate and manipulate text that is often indistinguishable from human writing, which characteristics can help us identify human and machine text more accurately? This is a central question at the heart of a new research project from PD Dr. Terry Ruas at the University of Göttingen, titled "Paraphrase Types: A New Paradigm for Paraphrase Generation and Detection", [...]
How can AI help reliably identify falsified and manipulated digital content such as deepfakes, synthetic voices, and multimodal misinformation? This question is at the center of the Korean National Police Academy’s fake news project, a joint initiative involving the State Criminal Police Office, University of Göttingen, Bergische Universität Wuppertal, Soongsil University, Sungkyunkwan University, Yonsei University, and Hancom. AI-generated media has significantly expanded the scope of digital crime. Highly realistic [...]

How can artificial intelligence (AI) support museums in digitally unlocking their collections? This question is being addressed by the joint project “AI in Museums”, in which our lab is involved. The Lower Saxony Ministry of Science and Culture (MWK) is funding the project, led by Jade University of Applied Sciences Wilhelmshaven/Oldenburg/Elsfleth, with a total of around 2.25 million euros over [...]
How can the literary treasures found in texts from the Early New High German period (ca. 1350–1650) be made available and useful for future research in all their breadth and depth? The interdisciplinary joint project EDIKILEX – Edition, Artificial Intelligence, and Lexicography aims to meet this challenge through innovative applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI). At the heart of the project [...]
How can science uphold integrity in an era where large language models (LLMs) can seamlessly disguise stolen ideas? The renowned journal Spektrum der Wissenschaft explores this question in its recent article “Das Katz-und-Maus-Spiel um die Redlichkeit” (“Cat-and-Mouse Game with Integrity”). The piece features our latest research on tackling the evolving challenges of plagiarism detection in a digital world with [...]
The National Institute of Informatics (NII) in Tokyo is Japan’s premier computer‑science research institute across different research areas.
