Institute of Computer Science III
At the Department of Information Systems and Artificial Intelligence (Institute of Computer Science III) at University of Bonn, we focus our research and development on the creation of algorithms and software for the next generation of truly intelligent machines (Artificial Intelligence).
Following the digitization of society and economy, our central working hypothesis is that such intelligent machines should be created by making use of the enormous and growing wealth of data that is available about the world ("Big Data") in combination with intelligent algorithms that are capable of using knowledge and learning from such data in order to draw smart conclusions.
Our research agenda therefore encompasses the entire intelligent data and learning chain: data storage and linking with database and linked data methods, data analysis and pattern recognition with machine learning/deep learning algorithms, and the creation of intelligent systems in business and other application areas such as computer vision. Our work thus contributes to strongly developing fields such as Cognitive Computing and Artificial Intelligence.
Partners
At the Institute of Computer Science, we intensively collaborate with b-it, the Bonn-Aachen International Center for Computer Science at University of Bonn (also localed in Bonn's Computer Science Center), and teach in its study programs Media Informatics and Life Science Informatics.
Many of us are also co-opted at the Fraunhofer IAIS, the Fraunhofer Institute for Intelligent Analysis and Information Systems, together with which we conduct a lot of our applied research. We also have close co-optations with City University of London.
Location
Since March 2018, we are located in the brand new Computer Science Center on the Poppelsdorf campus of University of Bonn (map, aerial photo).
