Dr. Matthias Hein is Bosch endowed Professor of Machine Learning and the coordinator of the international master program in machine learning at the University of Tübingen. He is member of the Excellence Cluster Machine Learning: New Perspectives for Science and the Tübingen AI Center. His main research interests are to make machine learning systems robust, safe and explainable and to provide theoretical foundations for machine learning, in particular deep learning. He serves regularly as area chair for ICML, NeurIPS or AISTATS and has been action editor for Journal of Machine Learning Research (JMLR) from 2013 to 2018. He is an ELLIS Fellow and has been awarded the German Pattern recognition award, an ERC Starting grant and several best paper awards (NeurIPS, COLT, ALT).

Dr. Hein and Dr. Geiping’s project will investigate how and why AI systems become less safe when they operate for extended periods of time.
