Machine Learning in Science


Prof. Dr. Jakob Macke

Cluster-W3-Professorship for 'Machine Learning in Science'


Research Interests

Our goal is to accelerate scientific discovery using machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI): We develop computational methods that help scientists interpret empirical data and use them gain scientific insights. We closely collaborate with experimental researchers from various disciplines. We are particularly interested in applications in the neurosciences: We want to understand how neuronal networks in the brain process sensory information and control intelligent behaviour.
