To this end, participants will primarily be driven by application problems whose solution requires novel methodological developments. The main research challenges that need to be tackled by this research platform can be summarized as
- application challenges,
- methodological challenges, and
- translational challenges.
The research platform specifically focuses on problems arising in
- Astronomy
- Digital Humanities
- Financial Economics
- Industry 4.0
- Medical Sciences
While these areas are broad, they have things in common as they are data-driven and use similar methods from computer science, mathematics, and statistics.
Scientific research goals
Scientific research goals regarding the Methodological challenges focus in:
- Clustering Analysis
- Deep Neural Networks bei Compression
- High-dimensional Data Analysis
- Optimization
- Operations Research
Scientific research goals regarding the Translational challenges focus in:
- Communication of uncertainties
- Trust in a model
- Understanding trade-offs
- Understanding sensitivity
- Comprehensibility
A further objective is to develop a training concept that will equip students with the appropriate methodological expertise in various application settings.
