About Me

I am a professor for theory of machine learning at the Institut für Neuroinformatik, Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Germany. I am heading the Optimization of Adaptive Systems group. My research interests are optimization, and machine learning / artificial intelligence.

Short CV

2004-2008: Ph.D. candidate in Christian Igel's group at the Institut für Neuroinformatik in Bochum. I received my Ph.D. in 2008 from the Faculty of Mathematics, Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Germany.
2008-2009: Post-doc in the same group.
2009-2011: Post-doc in Jürgen Schmidhuber's group at IDSIA, Lugano, Switzerland.
2012-2018: Junior professor for theory of machine learning at the Institut für Neuroinformatik, Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Germany. I am the head of the optimization of adaptive systems group.
2018: Promotion to full professor.

Research

My research is located in the area of machine learning, a modern branch of artificial intelligence research. This is an interdisciplinary research topic in between computer science, statistics, and optimization, with connections to the neurosciences and applications in robotics, engineering, medicine, economics, and many more disciplines. Within this wide area I am focusing on three aspects: supervised learning and reinforcement learning (including modern deep learning), and optimization with simple gradient-based methods and with evolutionary algorithms.

Supervised Machine Learning

Supervised learning is a learning paradigm with endless (mostly technical) applications. A learning machine (algorithm) builds a predictive model from data provided in the form of input/output pairs. This allows for the automated solution of classification and regression problems. A primary example is classification of objects in images, a classic computer vision task. I have recently started to reach out to reinforcement learning problems in 3D environments for fully autonomous behavior learning of robots or computer game agents (bots). My research activities include both theoretical and practical aspects.

Reinforcement Learning

Among all machine learning paradigms, reinforcement learning is closest to our intuitive idea of behavior learning. An agent interacts with an environment and learns by trial and error. Robotics in full of extremely challenging examples of this type. I mostly deal with computer game environments. Learning complex behaviors for 3D ego perspective games like DooM or Minecraft is one of the long-term goals of my research.

Optimization

Gradient-based optimization, particularly relatively simple first order methods like (stochastic) gradient descent and coordinate descent, are at the heart of many modern training procedures for learning machines, in particular for (possibly regularized) empirical risk minimization. This includes backpropagation based training of (deep) neural networks, as well as convex (primal or dual) optimization, e.g., for support vector machine training.

Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) are a class of nature-inspired algorithms that mimic the process of Darwinian evolution. This process is resolved into the components inheritance, variation, and selection. It has been widely recognized that EAs are useful for search and optimization, in particular when derivatives are not available. Formally they can be understood as randomized direct search heuristics. They are suitable for tackling black-box optimization problems. I focus on evolution strategies, a class of optimization algorithms for continuous variables, and on multi-objective optimization.

Predicting Latent Space Representations for Planning

Pairing the EfferenceNet with a good but generic feature map allows us to perform an accurate search in the latent space of manipulating unseen objects. This remarkably simple method, inspired by the neurology of the cerebellum, reveals a promising line of future work. We validate our method by on a viewpoint-matching task derived from the NORB data set.

About the INI

The Institut für Neuroinformatik (INI) is a central research unit of the Ruhr-Universität Bochum. We aim to understand the fundamental principles through which organisms generate behavior and cognition while linked to their environments through sensory systems and while acting in those environments through effector systems. Inspired by our insights into such natural cognitive systems, we seek new solutions to problems of information processing in artificial cognitive systems. We draw from a variety of disciplines that include experimental approaches from psychology and neurophysiology as well as theoretical approaches from physics, mathematics, electrical engineering and applied computer science, in particular machine learning, artificial intelligence, and computer vision.
