Research Group – Applied Machine Learning Lab
AI Networks & Projects
The Applied Machine Learning Lab actively collaborates within leading AI networks to advance applied research. Through our membership in the Lamarr Institute and the AiIService Center WestAI, we contribute expertise in NLP, medical informatics, and behavioral analytics to regional innovation projects. These partnerships enable interdisciplinary projects that bridge academia, industry, and public sectors for real-world AI impact.
The Lamarr Institute focuses on the research and development of high-performance, trustworthy, and resource-efficient applications of Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Our goal is to establish internationally competitive research that sustainably strengthens Germany and Europe as leading locations for research, education, and technology transfer in AI.
After a successful evaluation by an international panel of experts, the Lamarr Institute was created from the Competence Center Machine Learning Rhine-Ruhr (ML2R), previously funded as a project for a limited period of time. The Lamarr Institute is now established with permanent institutional funding from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and the state of North Rhine-Westphalia.
WestAI gives players from business and science access to AI models and high-performance AI computing infrastructures. We support start-ups as well as small and medium-sized companies in using state-of-the-art AI technologies to turn innovative ideas into reality and open up new fields of application. Our services range from detailed advice on individual AI challenges and their implementation to the opportunity to attend one of our numerous AI training courses.
