The Data Science Lab.

We are dedicated to advancing the fields of machine learning and data science, with a particular focus on deep representation learning for sequentially ordered data such as biomedical time series and natural text. We research and develop cutting-edge methods to advance medical diagnostics and natural language technologies, while educating and mentoring the future generation of machine learning experts. We are located at the Aachen University of Applied Sciences, Germany.
