How can we use artificial intelligence (AI) to make comprehensible medical decisions? A new project at the University of Mannheim, which has received funding from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), will analyze this question.

Knowledge graphs are an essential aspect of artificial intelligence (AI) and generally describe a model that is used to search for and link information.

The aim of the LAVA research project, led by Professor Dr. Heiko Paulheim, is to automatically create and improve knowledge graphs that are built into AI. Paulheim holds the Chair of Data Science at the University of Mannheim. LAVA stands for “solutions for the automated improvement and enrichment of knowledge graphs”. For the project, the computer scientist from Mannheim collaborates with the Karlsruhe-based company medicalvalues GmbH. Medicalvalues specializes in AI solutions for medical diagnostics in laboratories and hospitals.

The joint project goal of LAVA is a certified medical product that will help doctors to make quick and precise diagnoses. With this idea, the Mannheim-based AI developer was successful at a DATIpilot pitch in Darmstadt, in which more than 600 participants took part. The project will receive funding from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) in the amount of 300,000 euros for the next 18 months.
