    STREAM Festival Connects Art and Technology for kids in Eindhoven

    On 6 December the STREAM Festival Network brought their creative & science workshops to theWinter Market Eindhoven at Muziekgebouw. Vlad Niculescu-Dinca, festival coordinator, explains the close relation between Science, Technology (STEM) and Art. Through various workshops at this winter edition and throughout the year, the team helps children get creative and stay curious about the world. The STREAM Festival is a young, community-driven, international science festival for children. It aims to promote both S.T.E.M. disciplines as well as Arts, Reading and more generally literacy and creativity skills. The event is open to all, Dutch and internationals, promoting mutual discovery and conviviality. The festival is coordinated by the Stichting Romanian School Eindhoven and the workshops are offered by a generous group of Dutch and international scientists, artists, teachers, engineers and students from the various international communities and heritage language education programs in The Netherlands.

    Moving the Eiffel Tower: Opening LLMs with Explainable AI, Jelle Zuidema, UvA

    Deep Dives with Iman, hosted by Iman Mossavat and featured by Radio 4 Brainport, features Associate Professor Jelle Zuidema from the University of Amsterdam's Institute for Logic, Language, and Computation (ILLC). Zuidema analyzes large language models (LLMs) using explainable AI, including striking examples to show how model knowledge can be surgically edited. He briefly discusses how researchers understand LLMs, fix biases, and analyze how they reason. Listeners gain insight into how these models represent knowledge, interact with data, and how analysis can clarify complex AI systems. This episode gives you an excellent view into the inner workings of modern language models.

  5. AI reshaping software engineering & education โ€” Prof. Alexander Serebrenik & Dr. Lina Ochoa

    AI reshaping software engineering & education โ€” Prof. Alexander Serebrenik & Dr. Lina Ochoa

    How should software engineering education adapt when LLMs can generate code in seconds? Prof. Alexander Serebrenik and Dr. Lina Ochoa of TU Eindhoven join Iman Mossavat, host of Deep Dives with Iman, to examine how large language models are reshaping software engineering and education. We cover: how models optimise for user satisfaction and why verification remains essential; the shifting skillset for engineers (from rote coding to oversight, orchestration, and prompt decomposition); real quality risks such as hallucinations and increased technical debt when generated code is used without enough scrutiny; and the structural effects as model providers gain influence. Practical conclusions: keep humans in the loop, teach verification and system thinking, and redesign assessments to preserve core understanding. Listen for a measured discussion relevant to educators, engineers, and policy makers. Artificial Intelligence on Radio4Brainport.org

  6. How Do We Know AI Gets Human Thinking Wrong? โ€” with Dr. Benjamin PaaรŸen

    How Do We Know AI Gets Human Thinking Wrong? โ€” with Dr. Benjamin PaaรŸen

    Host Iman Mossavat welcomes Dr. Benjamin PaaรŸen, Junior Professor for Knowledge Representation and Machine Learning at Bielefeld University and researcher at the Educational Technology Lab at DFKI. Together, they examine the growing debate around using large language models (LLMs) as substitutes for human participants in psychological and educational research. Dr. PaaรŸen shares why replacing human input with machine responses risks producing misleading results, especially when subtle linguistic shifts reveal critical differences between human and AI reasoning. He stresses that while LLMs can be useful in narrow, text-based tasks validated against large sets of human data, they cannot replicate the depth of human cognition. The discussion highlights the limits of AI in research settings, the dangers of overestimating machine intelligence, and the importance of maintaining rigorous standards when integrating these tools into scientific work.

  7. Optimod Audio Processing: how to sound good on DAB+ and on the Internet with low rate AAC?

    Optimod Audio Processing: how to sound good on DAB+ and on the Internet with low rate AAC?

    I heard many people complain about the poor sound quality of DAB+. Dennis van Benthem of Orban, the makers of the OPTIMOD, claim that DAB can sound great even at 48 kbit/s . But it would be a mistake to feed sound processed for FM into a digital encoder. On AM and FM, radio stations may want to sound loud. It even increases coverage. The boomy sound of radio DJ voices on FM seems to have become fashionable. But we live in a digital age. Do we need processing on DAB+ or on AAC-encoded internet streams? Thnaks Dennis for going into the technical details. photo credits to Chantal Mateboer Jean-Paul Linnartz @ Radio4brainport.org
