The research group "Reliable Machine Learning" studies the properties of machine learning algorithms.
In view of the recent success of deep learning methods in applications like image recognition, speech recognition, and automatic translation, the group especially focuses on properties of deep neural networks.

Although a neural network trained e.g. for an image classification task might work well on "real inputs", it has been repeatedly shown empirically that such networks are vulnerable to adversarial examples:
a minimal perturbation (impercetible to a human) of the input data can cause the network to misclassify the input.
Thus, an important research area of the group is to mathematically understand the reasons for the existence of such adversarial examples (i.e., the instability of trained neural networks),
and - building on that understanding - to develop improved methods that yield provably robust neural networks.

The research group is supported by the Emmy Noether project "Stability and Solvability in Deep Learning".

Data Lab

This summer, our first Data Science class is starting its fourth semester, which means a premiere for the Data Lab.

In a wide variety of groups, students can refine their specialist knowledge using real data and gain initial experience with external project partners such as AUDI or AIXELO. At the end, the work is presented in a presentation. To provide information about the various projects, an information event was held last week at the Georgianum, at which all supervisors presented their topics. The students then split into the following project groups:

  • Data-driven prediction of the time-to-sell of used cars/ leasing returns 
  • Deep learning for predicting properties of metal-organic frameworks 
  • Comparison of different methods for Recommender Systems on MovieLens Datasets 
  • Sudoku solver 
  • Discrete (Fast) Fourier Transform and their minors
  • Dimension reduction
  • Parameter and its uncertainty estimation
  • Data science methods for geo data
