The “Applied AI” research group, which is part of the Interactive Machine Learning research department at the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI), focuses on applying and adapting artificial intelligence methods to, for example, industrial and medical applications. Sustainability is also a major topic in Oldenburg.
Research-relevant application aspects primarily concern the use of learning systems and intelligent user interfaces. Key areas of focus include multimodal input and output and multisensor applications involving environmental and state recognition, sensor data processing, and issues of real-time performance and interactivity when learning from very large or very small datasets, as well as reliability aspects (including trust in AI and explainable AI).
Regardless of specific subject areas, the overarching research goal is to develop guidelines for the practical application of artificial intelligence. In addition, basic research is conducted in the interdisciplinary field of human–machine interaction in combination with machine learning.
The Small Circle presents the AAI endowed professorship
Der Kleine Kreis is a business association based in Oldenburg, Lower Saxony, which is committed to actively promoting the region through projects, events, sponsorships, foundations and the annual Oldenburg Business Award. As a sponsor, they present AAI, the endowed professorship and the Chair of Artificial Intelligence at the University of Oldenburg, on their website.
The Chair of Artificial Intelligence at the University of Oldenburg has been occupied since November 2020: Prof Dr Daniel Sonntag has taken over the endowed professorship "Applied Artificial Intelligence" at the Department of Computing Science. The professorship is funded by KLEINEN KREIS, CEWE Stiftung & Co KGaA, EWE AG, BÜFA GmbH & Co KG, the OLB Foundation, Dr Caroline Neumüller, Alexander Neumüller and the Foundation of the Metal Industry in the North-West. In his research at the AAI, Professor Daniel Sonntag focuses on interactive machine learning. In this approach, computers receive human feedback on their actions and simultaneously record data automatically, for example through eye tracking or image recognition. The aim is to further optimise this process - with the aim of enabling machines to learn from humans more smoothly and quickly.
