Location & approach

via car

The campus of TU Dortmund University is located near the freeway junction Dortmund West, where the Sauerland line A45 crosses the Ruhr expressway B1/A40. The Dortmund-Eichlinghofen exit on the A45 leads to the South Campus, the Dortmund-Dorstfeld exit on the A40 leads to the North Campus. The university is signposted at both exits. It is best to park in the large parking lot on Otto-Hahn-Straße.

via train and bus

The "Dortmund Universität" S-Bahn station is located directly on the North Campus. From there, the S-Bahn line S1 runs every 15 or 30 minutes to Dortmund main station and in the opposite direction to Düsseldorf main station via Bochum, Essen, and Duisburg. In addition, the university can be reached by bus lines 445, 447, and 462. Timetable information can be found on the homepage of the Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Ruhr, and DSW21 also offer an interactive route network map.

via H-Bahn

One of the landmarks of the TU Dortmund University is the H-Bahn. Line 1 runs every 10 minutes between Dortmund Eichlinghofen and the Technology Center via Campus South and Dortmund University S, while Line 2 commutes every 5 minutes between Campus North and Campus South. It covers this distance in two minutes.

via airplane

From Dortmund Airport, the AirportExpress takes just over 20 minutes to Dortmund Central Station and from there to the university by S-Bahn. A wider range of international flight connections is offered by Düsseldorf Airport, about 60 kilometers away, which can be reached directly by S-Bahn from the university's train station.

Stop Ordering Machine Learning Algorithms by their Explainability!

The article "Stop ordering machine learning algorithms by their explainability! A user-centered investigation of performance and explainability" was published in the renowned International Journal of Information Management (IJIM). IJIM has an Impact Factor of 18.958 and is ranked #1 in SJR fpr Management Information Systems & Information Systems and Management.

In the article, Prof. Janiesch with his co-authors Lukas-Valentin Herm, Kai Heinrich, and Jonas Wanner the following:

Explaining AI system decision models to users is becoming ever more important. But mathematical and programmatic considerations do not suffice to scrutinize applications with humans. We show that we should neither simplify the tradeoff between performance and explainability as continuous nor that the data-driven interpretability of algorithms entails algorithm explainability towards end users. Rather, we show that there are currently three groups of algorithm explainability somewhat distinct in performance capabilities. Hence, we say: Stop Ordering Machine Learning Algorithms by their Explainability.
