Shortly after the advent of Deep Learning, DFKI launched its Deep Learning Competence Center (DLCC) with the cross-sectional functionality to connect and bundle Deep Learning competences throughout the DFKI. Across all research departments, DFKI's DLCC brings together hundreds of experts focusing on the development and application of Deep Learning approaches in their respective fields. Apart from pushing the limits in each domain, the DLCC especially focuses on current DL specific research areas such as Efficiency, XAI, Robustness, Trustworthy AI, Small Data, Unsupervised / Self-supervised Learning, Generative Approaches.
The DLCC also functions as a central contact point for external researchers and experts interested in collaboration, and bundles the DFKI's efforts to teach novel Deep Learning approaches to a new generation of students, scientists and employees embracing machine learning.
