Machine Learning at ETI (University of Siegen, NRW)
The Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (ETI) at the University of Siegen places a significant emphasis on machine learning research and education. The research focus at ETI centers around machine learning and visual computing, with multiple chairs dedicated to advancing the field through regular publication in premier machine learning conferences. In addition, in 2022, the University of Siegen was awarded one of the eight highly competitive German DFG research units in artificial intelligence. Within the Learning2Sense research unit, seven professors in Siegen collaborate on an interdisciplinary project combining machine learning and sensor technology.
Furthermore, ETI recognizes the importance of incorporating machine learning into its curriculum. The department offers a vast array of lectures, seminars, and project groups pertaining to machine learning for both computer science and electrical engineering students. Additionally, ETI is one of the first departments in Germany to make a machine learning introductory lecture mandatory for all computer science BSc students. This is in recognition of machine learning’s fundamental role in computer science alongside mathematics, theoretical computer science concepts, algorithms, and data structures, databases, and software engineering.
The following table lists the relevant chairs at ETI, their research focus, and their area of application in machine learning, as well as relevant lectures.
