The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft (www.fraunhofer.com) currently operates 76 institutes and research institutions throughout Germany and is the world’s leading applied research organization. Around
30 000 employees work with an annual research budget of 2.9 billion euros.
Our working group »Self-Learning Systems« researches dependable Reinforcement Learning, i.e., we want to learn behaviors that are safe, performant, and explainable for many different industries in order to help engineers be more efficient. Our team members have diverse academic backgrounds from computer science, engineering and physics. Moreover, we combine expertise in a range of advanced machine learning topics. One of our research goals is to provide robust and safe algorithmic solutions for control and decision-making tasks for systems in complex dynamic environments. To this end, we employ deep learning in combination with reinforcement-learning techniques.
