Julian Knaup wins Best Track Paper Award for AI applications in industry at the IEEE RTSI Conference in Lecco, Italy

Julian Knaup, research associate in the Image Processing and Pattern Recognition, Sensor and Information Fusion research group led by Prof. Dr. Volker Lohweg at the Institute Industrial IT (inIT) of the Technische Hochschule Ostwestfalen-Lippe (TH OWL), was honoured with the Best Track Paper Award in the field of AI applications in industry at the IEEE RTSI Conference in Lecco, Italy, for his outstanding research work. Together with Christoph-Alexander Holst and Prof. Dr. Volker Lohweg, he wrote the award-winning paper on the topic of banknote authentication and adversarial attacks.

About the IEEE RTSI Conference

The IEEE RTSI (International Forum on Research and Technologies for Society and Industry) brings together leading experts from science and industry every year. The practice-orientated conference promotes exchange and collaboration in order to drive technological innovation. The focus of this year's conference was on the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in various areas, with a particular emphasis on practical solutions.

The winning paper: "Hidden in Plain Sight: Adversarial Attack on Wavelet-based Banknote Authentication"

The Best Track Paper Award is presented annually in various categories to recognise innovative and practically relevant research contributions. The winning paper "Hidden in Plain Sight: Adversarial Attack on Wavelet-based Banknote Authentication" examines how machine-learning systems for banknote authentication can be manipulated by adversarial attacks.

Impressions from the conference

Julian Knaup was delighted with the practical focus of the conference: "It was exciting to see so many practical applications and to exchange ideas with participants from the industry. The evening discussions with colleagues from 35 countries against the picturesque backdrop of Lake Como were a real highlight."

The success at the IEEE RTSI Conference motivates Julian Knaup with regard to his doctoral project "Adversarial Attacks" as part of the SAIL research project.
