Applied Artificial Intelligence

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.

Student AI transfer projects are especially important to us. You can find a selection here: iml.dfki.de. For Bachelor's or Master's theses, please contact or .

IML presented paper at AlpCHI 2026

Christoph Albert Johns presented our paper Heads Up!: Towards In Situ Photogrammetry Annotations and Augmented Reality Visualizations for Guided Backcountry Skiing”, at the AlpCHI conference which took place from March 1-5, 2026 in Ascona, Switzerland. 

Christoph Albert Johns presented our paper Heads Up!: Towards In Situ Photogrammetry Annotations and Augmented Reality Visualizations for Guided Backcountry Skiing”, at the AlpCHI conference which took place from March 1-5, 2026 in Ascona, Switzerland.  

AlpCHI is the inaugural Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) conference of the Alpine region which brings together researchers, industry professionals, and academics to exchange ideas and explore new developments in HCI. 

The study focuses on backcountry skiing where groups of skiers navigate challenging terrain outside of managed slopes. This activity requires careful monitoring of weather conditions and effective communication about potential hazards. The research aims to support this communication by providing backcountry guides with a set of in situ spatial annotation tools, allowing them to mark risks and recommend appropriate speeds on site.
