Written by Andreas Maier. In the age of deep learning, data became an important resource to build powerful smart systems. In several fields, we already see that the amount of data that is required to build competitive systems is so large that it is virtually impossible for new players to enter t...

Written by Andreas Maier. Deep learning is one of the most successful methods that we have seen in computer science in the last couple of years. Results indicate that many problems can be tackled with this method and amazing results are published every day. In fact, many traditional methods in p...

Written by Andreas Maier. Traveling in time has always been a dream of mankind. Imagine being able to experience ancient Rome first hand or to move back to the days of our ancestors to experience how people were living at that time. Obviously, such time travel goes well beyond our physical limit...

Written by Andreas Maier. Machine learning and in particular deep learning revolutionize the world as we know it today. We have seen tremendous advances in speech and image recognition, followed by the application of deep learning to many other domains. In many of those domains, deep learning is...

Every model is wrong, but some models are useful Written by Andreas Maier. We have seen tremendous progress by artificial intelligence (AI) over the past decades. This progress, however, was not achieved steadily. There were significant ups and downs on the way. In some of these phases, peopl...

The television transmitter 3sat will broadcast the documentary "Die Sprache der Wale" by Volker Barth for the first time on Thursday 14 May 2020 at 20:15 in "Wissen hoch 2". Over a period of 3 years, an interdisciplinary research team consisting of marine biologists, computer scientists and psycholo...

Due to the current pandemic of COVID-19, this year’s BVM (German Conference on Medical Image Processing) was converted into a video venue. All authors submitted their work as videos and they are available now on YouTube in the newly created BVM Channel. In the description of the video, you can find ...

Over the years, we have collected a rather large collection of online teaching material that we now also highlight on our Teaching Section. One feature is the Deep Learning Material with video lectures and online experimentation environments on various topics. Another gem is the new version of the ...
