In this episode Gudrun speaks with Nadja Klein and Moussa Kassem Sbeyti who work at the Scientific Computing Center (SCC) at KIT in Karlsruhe. Since August 2024, Nadja has been professor at KIT leading the research group Methods for Big Data (MBD) there. She is an Emmy Noether Research Group Leader, and a member of AcademiaNet, and Die Junge Akademie, among others. In 2025, Nadja was awarded the Committee of Presidents of Statistical Societies (COPSS) Emerging Leader Award (ELA). The COPSS ELA recognizes early career statistical scientists who show evidence of and potential for leadership and who will help shape and strengthen the field. She finished her doctoral studies in Mathematics at the Universität Göttingen before conducting a postdoc at the University of Melbourne as a Feodor-Lynen fellow by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. Afterwards she was a Professor for Statistics and Data Science at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin before joining KIT. Moussa joined Nadja's lab as an associated member in 2023 and later as a postdoctoral researcher in 2024. He pursued a PhD at the TU Berlin while working as an AI Research Scientist at the Continental AI Lab in Berlin. His research primarily focuses on deep learning, developing uncertainty-based automated labeling methods for 2D object detection in autonomous driving. Prior to this, Moussa earned his M.Sc. in Mechatronics Engineering from the TU Darmstadt in 2021. The research of Nadja and Moussa is at the intersection of statistics and machine learning. In Nadja's MBD Lab the research spans theoretical analysis, method development and real-world applications. One of their key focuses is Bayesian methods, which allow to incorporate prior knowledge, quantify uncertainties, and bring insights to the “black boxes” of machine learning. By fusing the precision and reliability of Bayesian statistics with the adaptability of machine and deep learning, these methods aim to leverage the best of both worlds. The KIT offers a strong research environment, making it an ideal place to continue their work. They bring new expertise that can be leveraged in various applications and on the other hand Helmholtz offers a great platform in that respect to explore new application areas. For example Moussa decided to join the group at KIT as part of the Helmholtz Pilot Program Core-Informatics at KIT (KiKIT), which is an initiative focused on advancing fundamental research in informatics within the Helmholtz Association. Vision models typically depend on large volumes of labeled data, but collecting and labeling this data is both expensive and prone to errors. During his PhD, his research centered on data-efficient learning using uncertainty-based automated labeling techniques. That means estimating and using the uncertainty of models to select the helpful data samples to train the models to label the rest themselves. Now, within KiKIT, his work has evolved to include knowledge-based approaches in multi-task models, eg. detection and depth estimation — with the broader goal of enabling the development and deployment of reliable, accurate vision systems in real-world applications. Statistics and data science are fascinating fields, offering a wide variety of methods and applications that constantly lead to new insights. Within this domain, Bayesian methods are especially compelling, as they enable the quantification of uncertainty and the incorporation of prior knowledge. These capabilities contribute to making machine learning models more data-efficient, interpretable, and robust, which are essential qualities in safety-critical domains such as autonomous driving and personalized medicine. Nadja is also enthusiastic about the interdisciplinarity of the subject — repeatedly changing the focus from mathematics to economics to statistics to computer science. The combination of theoretical fundamentals and practical applications makes statistics an agile and important field of research in data science. From a deep learning perspective, the focus is on making models both more efficient and more reliable when dealing with large-scale data and complex dependencies. One way to do this is by reducing the need for extensive labeled data. They also work on developing self-aware models that can recognize when they're unsure and even reject their own predictions when necessary. Additionally, they explore model pruning techniques to improve computational efficiency, and specialize in Bayesian deep learning, allowing machine learning models to better handle uncertainty and complex dependencies. Beyond the methods themselves, they also contribute by publishing datasets that help push the development of next-generation, state-of-the-art models. The learning methods are applied across different domains such as object detection, depth estimation, semantic segmentation, and trajectory prediction — especially in the context of autonomous driving and agricultural applications. As deep learning technologies continue to evolve, they're also expanding into new application areas such as medical imaging. Unlike traditional deep learning, Bayesian deep learning provides uncertainty estimates alongside predictions, allowing for more principled decision-making and reducing catastrophic failures in safety-critical application. It has had a growing impact in several real-world domains where uncertainty really matters. Bayesian learning incorporates prior knowledge and updates beliefs as new data comes in, rather than relying purely on data-driven optimization. In healthcare, for example, Bayesian models help quantify uncertainty in medical diagnoses, which supports more risk-aware treatment decisions and can ultimately lead to better patient outcomes. In autonomous vehicles, Bayesian models play a key role in improving safety. By recognizing when the system is uncertain, they help capture edge cases more effectively, reduce false positives and negatives in object detection, and navigate complex, dynamic environments — like bad weather or unexpected road conditions — more reliably. In finance, Bayesian deep learning enhances both risk assessment and fraud detection by allowing the system to assess how confident it is in its predictions. That added layer of information supports more informed decision-making and helps reduce costly errors. Across all these areas, the key advantage is the ability to move beyond just accuracy and incorporate trust and reliability into AI systems. Bayesian methods are traditionally more expensive, but modern approximations (e.g., variational inference or last layer inference) make them feasible. Computational costs depend on the problem — sometimes Bayesian models require fewer data points to achieve better performance. The trade-off is between interpretability and computational efficiency, but hardware improvements are helping bridge this gap. Their research on uncertainty-based automated labeling is designed to make models not just safer and more reliable, but also more efficient. By reducing the need for extensive manual labeling, one improves the overall quality of the dataset while cutting down on human effort and potential labeling errors. Importantly, by selecting informative samples, the model learns from better data — which means it can reach higher performance with fewer training examples. This leads to faster training and better generalization without sacrificing accuracy. They also focus on developing lightweight uncertainty estimation techniques that are computationally efficient, so these benefits don't come with heavy resource demands. In short, this approach helps build models that are more robust, more adaptive to new data, and significantly more efficient to train and deploy — which is critical for real-world systems where both accuracy and speed matter. Statisticians and deep learning researchers often use distinct methodologies, vocabulary and frameworks, making communication and collaboration challenging. Unfortunately, there is a lack of Interdisciplinary education: Traditional academic programs rarely integrate both fields. It is necessary to foster joint programs, workshops, and cross-disciplinary training can help bridge this gap. From Moussa's experience coming through an industrial PhD, he has seen how many industry settings tend to prioritize short-term gains — favoring quick wins in deep learning over deeper, more fundamental improvements. To overcome this, we need to build long-term research partnerships between academia and industry — ones that allow for foundational work to evolve alongside practical applications. That kind of collaboration can drive more sustainable, impactful innovation in the long run, something we do at methods for big data. Looking ahead, one of the major directions for deep learning in the next five to ten years is the shift toward trustworthy AI. We're already seeing growing attention on making models more explainable, fair, and robust — especially as AI systems are being deployed in critical areas like healthcare, mobility, and finance. The group also expect to see more hybrid models — combining deep learning with Bayesian methods, physics-based models, or symbolic reasoning. These approaches can help bridge the gap between raw performance and interpretability, and often lead to more data-efficient solutions. Another big trend is the rise of uncertainty-aware AI. As AI moves into more high-risk, real-world applications, it becomes essential that systems understand and communicate their own confidence. This is where uncertainty modeling will play a key role — helping to make AI not just more powerful, but also more safe and reliable. The lecture "Advanced Bayesian Data Analysis" covers fundamental concepts in Bayesian statistics, including parametric and non-parametric regression, computational techniques such as MCMC and variational inference, and Bayesian priors for handling high-dimensional data. Additionally, the lecturers offer a Research Seminar on Selected Topics in Statistical Learning and Data Science. The workgroup offers a variety of Master's thesis topics at the intersection of statistics and deep learning, focusing on Bayesian modeling, uncertainty quantification, and high-dimensional methods. Current topics include predictive information criteria for Bayesian models and uncertainty quantification in deep learning. Topics span theoretical, methodological, computational and applied projects. Students interested in rigorous theoretical and applied research are encouraged to explore our available projects and contact us for further details. The general advice of Nadja and Moussa for everybody interested to enter the field is: "Develop a strong foundation in statistical and mathematical principles, rather than focusing solely on the latest trends. Gain expertise in both theory and practical applications, as real-world impact requires a balance of both. Be open to interdisciplinary collaboration. Some of the most exciting and meaningful innovations happen at the intersection of fields — whether that's statistics and deep learning, or AI and domain-specific areas like medicine or mobility. So don't be afraid to step outside your comfort zone, ask questions across disciplines, and look for ways to connect different perspectives. That's often where real breakthroughs happen. With every new challenge comes an opportunity to innovate, and that's what keeps this work exciting. We're always pushing for more robust, efficient, and trustworthy AI. And we're also growing — so if you're a motivated researcher interested in this space, we'd love to hear from you." Literature and further information Webpage of the group G. Nuti, Lluis A.J.

Juror Turned Defender: A Karen Read Plot Twist No One Saw Coming A fired state trooper. A hung jury. And now, a juror turned defense attorney. The Karen Read case just added another chapter that feels more like an episode of Law & Order than real life. Just days before Karen Read is set to stand trial for the second time, a new name showed up on her defense team roster: Victoria George. She's not just any attorney. She's a Massachusetts lawyer who sat through the first trial as an alternate juror—and walked away so disturbed by what she saw, she switched sides. Literally. George filed her notice of appearance on Wednesday. She's a Princeton grad who earned her law degree from Northeastern in 2020, and according to an interview she did with Vanity Fair, the first trial shook her faith in the Massachusetts justice system. Her words, not mine. "If as a lawyer I was too afraid to stand up for what I believed in, who would?" she said. That's not just courtroom rhetoric—that's a real quote from a lawyer who once sat quietly in the jury box, now sitting beside the defendant. Karen Read, 45, is facing charges of second-degree murder, manslaughter, and leaving the scene of a deadly accident after her boyfriend, Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe, was found dead in the snow outside a fellow officer's house in January 2022. Prosecutors say Read hit him with her Lexus SUV during a drunken argument and drove away. She says she's being framed—and that the real killer was at the after-party that O'Keefe never made it home from. The first trial ended in a deadlock. A mistrial. Jurors couldn't agree, and frankly, who could blame them? The case was messy, the timeline was fuzzy, and then there was the lead investigator—Michael Proctor. Proctor, a Massachusetts State Trooper at the time, led the investigation against Read. But last week, he was fired. Why? Well, let's just say his texts didn't exactly reflect professionalism. In court, messages were read aloud where Proctor called Read a “wack job,” joked about hoping she'd kill herself, and fantasized about finding nude photos on her phone. You don't need a JD to figure out that's going to be a problem when your job is supposed to be objective law enforcement. George didn't hold back when talking about Proctor's involvement, either. “Based on his own words, he had a pretty strong personal bias against the person in the defendant's chair,” she said. “How do you ever trust the evidence coming from his investigation?” And let's be clear—this isn't some PR stunt from Read's defense team. Legal experts are chiming in, too. David Gelman, a former prosecutor turned defense attorney, said this is the first time he's ever heard of a juror becoming part of the defense in a retrial. And he thinks it bodes well for Read. “Usually retrials don't go well – that's why a hung jury is a win for defendants,” Gelman said. “Since the last case, you have an officer involved who has been terminated for bad conduct, evidence will be suppressed that would benefit the prosecutor, and there is more media attention that makes Read look better. The prosecutor has screwed the pooch.” This time, the case will be prosecuted by Hank Brennan—a special prosecutor with a heavyweight background, best known for defending mobster Whitey Bulger. And that's not the only legal battle Read is facing. O'Keefe's family has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against her as well. But back to George, because that's the wild card here. She wasn't some high-profile hire or flashy courtroom shark. She sat quietly, listened to every word, and when the trial ended in mistrial, she didn't walk away. She switched sides. Karen Read's second trial starts today (Tuesday). And now, the defense team includes someone who not only knows how the first jury thought—but knows how the system works from both sides of the bar. #KarenRead #TrueCrimeUpdate #MichaelProctor #JusticeInQuestion Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

She wasn't some high-profile hire or flashy courtroom shark. She sat quietly, listened to every word, and when the trial ended in mistrial, she didn't walk away. She switched sides. Karen Read's second trial starts today (Tuesday). And now, the defense team includes someone who not only knows how the first jury thought—but knows how the system works from both sides of the bar. #KarenRead #TrueCrimeUpdate #MichaelProctor #JusticeInQuestion Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

A fired state trooper. A hung jury. And now, a juror turned defense attorney. The Karen Read case just added another chapter that feels more like an episode of Law & Order than real life. Just days before Karen Read is set to stand trial for the second time, a new name showed up on her defense team roster: Victoria George. She's not just any attorney. She's a Massachusetts lawyer who sat through the first trial as an alternate juror—and walked away so disturbed by what she saw, she switched sides. Literally. George filed her notice of appearance on Wednesday. She's a Princeton grad who earned her law degree from Northeastern in 2020, and according to an interview she did with Vanity Fair, the first trial shook her faith in the Massachusetts justice system. Her words, not mine. "If as a lawyer I was too afraid to stand up for what I believed in, who would?" she said. That's not just courtroom rhetoric—that's a real quote from a lawyer who once sat quietly in the jury box, now sitting beside the defendant. Karen Read, 45, is facing charges of second-degree murder, manslaughter, and leaving the scene of a deadly accident after her boyfriend, Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe, was found dead in the snow outside a fellow officer's house in January 2022. Prosecutors say Read hit him with her Lexus SUV during a drunken argument and drove away. She says she's being framed—and that the real killer was at the after-party that O'Keefe never made it home from. The first trial ended in a deadlock. A mistrial. Jurors couldn't agree, and frankly, who could blame them? The case was messy, the timeline was fuzzy, and then there was the lead investigator—Michael Proctor. Proctor, a Massachusetts State Trooper at the time, led the investigation against Read. But last week, he was fired. Why? Well, let's just say his texts didn't exactly reflect professionalism. In court, messages were read aloud where Proctor called Read a “wack job,” joked about hoping she'd kill herself, and fantasized about finding nude photos on her phone. You don't need a JD to figure out that's going to be a problem when your job is supposed to be objective law enforcement. George didn't hold back when talking about Proctor's involvement, either. “Based on his own words, he had a pretty strong personal bias against the person in the defendant's chair,” she said. “How do you ever trust the evidence coming from his investigation?” And let's be clear—this isn't some PR stunt from Read's defense team. Legal experts are chiming in, too. David Gelman, a former prosecutor turned defense attorney, said this is the first time he's ever heard of a juror becoming part of the defense in a retrial. And he thinks it bodes well for Read. “Usually retrials don't go well – that's why a hung jury is a win for defendants,” Gelman said. “Since the last case, you have an officer involved who has been terminated for bad conduct, evidence will be suppressed that would benefit the prosecutor, and there is more media attention that makes Read look better. The prosecutor has screwed the pooch.” This time, the case will be prosecuted by Hank Brennan—a special prosecutor with a heavyweight background, best known for defending mobster Whitey Bulger. And that's not the only legal battle Read is facing. O'Keefe's family has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against her as well. But back to George, because that's the wild card here.

On this week's motivation Monday, we're talking to Michael Gelman. When Michael Gelman helped create one of the most popular New York morning shows in 1987 and orchestrate its transition to a national ratings powerhouse a year later, he became the youngest producer of a national talk show. Today, as executive producer of “Live,” he has the longest tenure at the helm of any of the top syndicated shows. Since its inception “Live” has enlivened morning television with its hilarious Host Chat and A-list celebrity guests. Now in its 35th season in national syndication, “Live” remains a stronghold in daytime television, continuing to entertain viewers nationwide. As executive producer, Gelman is responsible for virtually every aspect of the show. He is well known for his audience warm-ups and regularly appears on-set, complementing the daily Host Chat segment. Gelman first joined “Live” as a freelance production assistant on what was then known as “The Morning Show.” Soon after, he was hired as a staff production assistant and later named associate producer, working in that role for two years. He left the show to pursue freelance opportunities and produced original “Live” host Regis Philbin's highly-rated primetime variety program. “The Regis Philbin Show,” which aired on Lifetime. In 1987, Gelman returned to “The Morning Show” as executive producer. The following year, the show went into national syndication as “Live with Regis & Kathie Lee.” How you can stay in touch with Linda: Website Facebook Twitter Instagram Pinterest YouTube SoundCloud "Proud Sponsors of the Sisterhood of S.W.E.A.T" Essential Formulas

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3: 5:05pm- Jason Willick, a columnist at The Washington Post, writes: “Speaking of calling electoral legitimacy into question because of missing information, let's say the jury convicts Trump and that voters go to the polls this November thinking he is a felon and deny him a second term — and that the conviction is tossed later on appeal. Steinglass said democracy is subverted when voters lack “accurate information about the candidates.” But in that (plausible) hypothetical, their information would be inaccurate in a major way: Trump would have been wrongfully convicted. Would that mean the 2024 election was illegitimate?” You can read the full article here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/05/29/trump-prosecutors-election-denial/ 5:10pm- BREAKING NEWS: Former President Donald Trump has been found guilty on all 34 charges. 5:15pm- David Gelman—Criminal Defense Attorney & Surrogate for Donald Trump's Legal Team—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to react to the breaking news that former President Trump has been found guilty on all 34 charges brought against him by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

This is long from over.” 5:35pm- In response to Donald Trump's guilty verdict, Joe Biden posted on social media: “There's only one way to keep Donald Trump out of the Oval Office: At the ballot box. Donate to our campaign today.” 5:50pm- Listeners react to the verdict in the Donald Trump “hush money” trial.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (05.30.2024): 3:05pm- On Thursday, jurors began their second day of deliberation in the Donald Trump “hush money” trial. Trump has been charged with having concealed payments made to adult film star Stormy Daniels.

What happens if former President Trump is found guilty—and could it impact his election prospects? 3:30pm- Marist National Polling's 2024 Presidential Election poll for the month of May shows that Donald Trump leads Joe Biden 54% to 42% among independent voters.

Earlier today, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin explicitly stated: “the United States had no part to play in that crash.” Bucci notes that Iran may try to blame America or Israel—though, it seems pretty clear this was the result of aged equipment and poor flying conditions.

In a tense courtroom session in Moscow, Idaho, Bryan Kohberger, the Ph.D. student facing charges for the murders of four University of Idaho students, contested a prosecution motion to close an upcoming hearing concerning key genetic evidence. Kohberger's defense team levied serious accusations against the FBI, claiming that vital evidence had been altered before being handed over, including a surveillance video purportedly placing Kohberger's vehicle at the crime scene. During Thursday's hearing, Anne Taylor, Kohberger's lead defense attorney and the Kootenai County public defender, disclosed frustrations with the prosecution's handling of evidence. "The public needs to know that they've withheld the audio," Taylor revealed, suggesting that the full extent of the surveillance recordings had not been shared with the defense or the public. The courtroom battle is not just over the evidence, but also its visibility to the public. Taylor and her team are advocating for an open discovery hearing, opposing the prosecution's request for a closed session. Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Ashley Jennings argued that the proceedings have been and should remain under seal to protect the integrity of the ongoing case. "This is entirely inconsistent," Jennings stated during the proceedings, emphasizing that the state would ensure transparency when appropriate, but maintained that "now is not the time for that." The defense's motion suggests a growing concern over public perception and the potential influence of pretrial publicity. Taylor accused the prosecutors of trying to keep the evidence "in a vacuum," thus controlling how the public perceives Kohberger's involvement in the crimes. "Bryan's the one with the right," she argued, referencing his Sixth Amendment rights to a public hearing. Judge John Judge, presiding over the hearing, expressed skepticism about the necessity of a fully public hearing at this stage. "I totally understand that Mr. Kohberger has a constitutional right to a public trial, but having a hearing is not a trial," he clarified. He hinted at the possibility of a closed-door hearing with subsequent information release, aiming to balance judicial transparency with the necessity of confidentiality during ongoing investigations. As the hearing progressed, tensions flared, prompting Judge to call for professionalism. "Tone it down," he urged the attorneys, indicating the intense emotions and stakes involved in the proceedings. The debate over the handling of the video evidence — specifically, the edited version allegedly connecting Kohberger to the crime scene — continues to stir controversy. David Gelman, a former prosecutor and defense attorney from New Jersey, sided with Taylor's perspective on the necessity of unedited evidence. "Prosecutors should not have handed over an edited video," Gelman commented, highlighting the critical role of complete and unaltered evidence in ensuring a fair trial. The strategic legal battles in Kohberger's case may also influence the trial's location, with discussions about potentially moving it out of Latah County to ensure a less biased jury pool. This legal maneuvering underscores the complexities of a case that has captured national attention, setting the stage for further dramatic developments as both sides prepare for the upcoming trial phases.

On the evening of March 24, 1990, nearly one hundred patrons gathered to celebrate Carnivale at the Happy Land Social Club, a small informal night club in the Bronx that catered to a mostly Honduran clientele. The evening took a deadly turn when, around 3:30 am, an explosion of fire roared up the stairway leading to the second-floor club, blocking the only exit from the building and trapping the patrons in a room rapidly filling with toxic smoke and fire. It's unknown how many patrons managed to escape the fire, but by the time the fire department had extinguished the blaze, eighty-seven people were dead.Thank you to the amazing Dave White of Bring Me the Axe Podcast for research!ReferencesBarbanel, Josh. 1990.
