Data Science

We are dedicated to research at the interfaces between humans, machines and data. This includes in particular the extraction, integration, retrieval and utilisation of knowledge graphs in all forms. We currently focus on developing data-driven solutions to challenges such as question answering, explainable and responsible machine learning, and security.

The results of our research have led to more than 25 international research awards. As a university research group, we support the next generation of computer scientists through lectures, seminars and project groups on topics such as knowledge graphs, information retrieval, natural language processing and semantic web technologies.

„We deal with issues such as knowledge graphs, search engines and automatic language processing.”

Head of the "Data Science" workgroup at the Heinz Nixdorf Institute at Paderborn University

re­search

We research, develop and evaluate methods and tools to design data-driven systems securely and efficiently. One focus is on the development of advanced algorithms and models to analyse large amounts of data in a meaningful way. The quality of the data and the responsible handling of this data play a role here.

Research topics

Teach­ing

In teaching, we impart in-depth knowledge in the field of data science. Students and scientists are trained in the latest methods of machine learning and artificial intelligence. Our aim is to equip the next generation of data scientists with the necessary skills.

Courses

Pro­jects

In cooperation with our research and corporate partners, we implement practice-oriented projects that provide significant impetus for digital transformation.
