Unit Freiburg

Established on December 1st, 2019

Unit Mission

To act as one of the best places in Europe on autonomous learning, and to foster European collaborations in the intersection of machine learning, robotics, computer vision and reasoning. The unit will facilitate collaborations on the intersection of these fields within the ELLIS network, building on highly successful interactions between the respective groups within Freiburg itself. With the recent convergence of much of machine learning, computer vision and robotics under the common theme of deep learning, there are great opportunities for exploiting synergies between these fields.
