Academic Excellence & Experience

The research of the data analytics team is currently organized in three laboratories: Algorithmics and Computational Intelligence (ACI), Natural language processing (NLP), and Data Science.

The research of the ACI group is based on the long tradition of combining basic research on algorithm development and analysis with active cooperation with companies and academic partners on solving real-life problems by the use of combinatorial optimization and the latest techniques on Artificial Intelligence and especially machine learning.

The NLP group studies various aspects of natural language processing, human language technology, and digital linguistics, with a distinct focus on machine learning methods.

The Data Science group's research combines theory and methods of algorithmic data analysis, with a particular focus on probabilistic machine learning, complex systems, high-throughput data analysis, and statistical programming. The main application areas are computational humanities and molecular life sciences.
