Technical AI Testing: Test Metrics, Methods, and Processes for Evaluating AI Systems
February 26, 2025, 3:00 - 4:30 PM, online, in German
Speaker: Anita Klingel
This workshop offers participants a comprehensive overview of the unique requirements for evaluating AI systems. Anita Klingel, our expert speaker, will explore the key differences between traditional software testing and AI-specific testing methodologies, highlighting distinctions between the evaluation of classification models and generative AI systems. Participants will learn how to develop a prototypical test concept for AI applications and gain insights into both technical and socio-technical testing methods. The workshop will conclude with a discussion on metrics, thresholds, and benchmarks relevant to AI evaluation. Designed for professionals with a technical focus on artificial intelligence, this workshop aims to foster professional exchange and collaboration among participants.
This online workshop is exclusively available to employees in the public sector, including research institutions, universities, and federal, state, or municipal authorities.
User-Centered AI Testing: Quantitative and Qualitative Methods for User Testing
February 27, 2025, 3:00 - 4:30 PM, online, in German
Speaker: Anita Klingel
This workshop is aimed at employees who want to test their AI applications in collaboration with users. Our speaker, Anita Klingel, will focus on the following topics: The distinction between technical tests and user tests, the selection of testing methods based on user groups, the analysis of qualitative test results & potential biases, the communication & change management around user testing and the integration of user tests into the overall testing concept. This workshop also provides the opportunity to ask questions and for professional exchange among participants.
Online Workshop for Public Sector Employees Only (research institutions, universities, and federal, state, and municipal authorities).
