Leibniz University Hannover involved in BMBF-Funded Learning Platform AI Campus

Comprehensive digital learning opportunities focusing on artificial intelligence

The Institute of Information Processing at Leibniz University Hannover (LUH) is involved in the project "AI Campus - The Learning Platform for Artificial Intelligence". Within the scope of the collaborative project with University of Freiburg and Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, researchers have developed a module on Automated Machine Learning (AutoML). The course is one of 14 projects (out of 137 proposals) that have been awarded funding.

The research and development project is in receipt of funding from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). In light of the increased demand for digital formats, AI Campus has been launched nine months earlier than originally planned. Over the next months, the researchers will develop numerous free learning modules, including podcasts, videos, courses or micro degrees. The platform addresses students and employees, as well as all those interested in the topic. The course programme has been developed by researchers from various higher education institutes in Germany and Luxembourg in collaboration with experts from the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI).

The 14-week course AutoML starts in autumn 2020 and will be held in English. The concept for the course has been realised in collaboration with Prof. Dr. Marius Lindauer (Institute of Information Processing, LUH) and aims to support future developers in the field of machine learning in making automatic design decisions based on user-specific data sets in order to achieve the best possible results for machine learning applications in a short period of time.
