Why System Administration Is More Than Just Technology Research shows: Social negotiation and care work are central components

System admins don’t just fix servers—they coordinate with users, support colleagues in high-stress situations, and much more. 🖥️🤝 Mannat Kaur from MPI-INF shows how these elements of social negotiation and care-work are an important part of IT security. ↪️ sic.link/sysadminday

Reshaping Neural Networks for Their Improvement A new method makes neural networks more streamlined, more efficient, and easier to understand—impacting research across disciplines.

Making AI more transparent is central to building systems we can trust. Jonas Fischer’s Explainable Machine Learning Group at MPI-INF works on methods to achieve precisely that. Example: a NeurIPS paper on how domain knowledge can guide model pruning for better understanding. sic.link/dash
