Research on Machine Learning
and Human-centered AI:
For humans, our society and our environment
This website addresses research questions from the fields of Machine Learning in applications, Machine Learning fundamentals, and human-centered AI:
Examples of our research for machine learning in applications are fault detection and quality assurance in automotive systems or manufacturing using ML-based anomaly detection, explainable ML-based seizure detection in medical EEG data, tactile sensing in robotics, predictive maintenance, and Deep Learning-based analysis of solar signals for exoplanet detection. This line of research addresses the recurring question when bringing Machine Learning to applications:
How can we utilize, adapt, combine or enhance state-of-the-art machine learning for real-world applications
in order to be beneficial for us humans or our environment?
Examples of research in the field of human-centered AI are explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) and learning from partly or fully unlabelled data – addressing the overriding question:
How can we enable, improve, evaluate, or understand machine learning by creating an interplay of humans and AI ?
On this website you will find information, publications and in some cases videos on reserarch I have conducted in the aforementioned fields. Research is a never-ending process… so you might want to check the website regularly, read through the provided news ticker, or follow me on researchgate.
