Computational Science & Philosophy Department

Das Department für Computational Science & Philosophy vereint Wissenschaftler:innen in Informatik, Philosophie, Physik und Mathematik, die Spitzenforschung zu grundlegenden Themen in Computation, komplexen Systemen, Data Science, Ethik und Normativität betreiben.

Computational Science an der Frankfurt School befasst sich mit Grundlagenforschung in Informatik sowie deren Anwendung in den Bereichen maschinelles Lernen und Statistik, Daten- und Entscheidungswissenschaften, computergestützte Sozialwissenschaften, Network Science, Biomathematik, Epidemiologie und Finanzwesen. Unsere Forschungsergebnisse werden regelmäßig in führenden internationalen Fachzeitschriften veröffentlicht, darunter Nature PhysicsNature CommunicationsPhysical Review LettersSIAM journalsStatistical ScienceArtificial Intelligence, und Proceedings of Machine Learning Research. Mitglieder des Departments beraten Regierungsbehörden und Firmen in Europa und den Vereinigten Staaten und haben mehrere erfolgreiche Unternehmen gegründet. Zudem betreuen sie das Flaggschiffprogramm Master of Science in Applied Data Science und den Master of Science in Data Analytics and Management, aufgrund derer die Frankfurt School den ersten Platz in Europa und den zwölften Platz weltweit im Times Higher Education Ranking für Top-Universitäten in digitaler Ausbildung belegt.

Philosophie an der Frankfurt School spezialisiert sich auf die Erforschung der Grundlagen von Normativität sowie die Analyse komplexer Systeme, einschließlich deren ethischer und gesellschaftlicher Bewertung und der modellbasierten Erklärung sozialer Phänomene. Die Mitglieder unseres Departments sind international bekannt für ihre Forschung im Bereich der Metaethik, insbesondere des Conceptual Role Expressivism und Inferentialist Relaxed Realism; der computergestützten Sozialwissenschaft, einschließlich des Bounded Confidence Modells von Hegselmann & Krause; und der Erforschung von Wahrscheinlichkeiten und Bounded Rationality, mit einem besonderen Schwerpunkt auf Imprecise Probabilities.  Unsere Forschungsarbeiten werden in führenden internationalen philosophischen Fachzeitschriften veröffentlicht, darunter Noûs, Mind, Journal of Philosophy, Philosophy & Phenomenological Research, Ethics, The British Journal for the Philosophy of Science und Philosophical Studies. Unsere Philosophen:innen organisieren zudem die Konferenzreihe FrankMeta, die zu den wichtigsten internationalen Metaethik-Konferenzen zählt. Darüber hinaus leiten sie den BSc-Studiengang Management, Philosophy & Economics, der unseren Studierenden durch individuelle Betreuung im Stil von Oxbridge Supervisionen eine unvergleichliche internationale Ausbildung bietet.

5th Frankfurt Metaethics Conference (FrankMeta.5), 23-24 June 2023

The Annual Frankfurt Metaethics Conference (FrankMeta) aims to offer a forum for current research in metaethics, broadly construed, including research on topics in the philosophy of language, the philosophy of mind, metaphysics and epistemology of normativity, as well as papers on the nature of rationality, reasons, and similar topics.

The conference will run over two days and provide plenty of time for discussion. It is free and open to all.

Center for Human and Machine Intelligence

Das Center for Human and Machine Intelligence vereint einen interdisziplinären Forschungsschwerpunkt aus den Bereichen Informatik, Philosophie, Wirtschafts-, Finanz- und Entscheidungswissenschaften und verbindet Theorie und Praxis im Zentrum des europäischen Finanzwesens.
