About

Welcome to the chair of Statistical Learning and Data Science at the LMU of Prof. Dr. Bernd Bischl (formerly working group Computational Statistics until early 2020).

Our chair is composed of the following research groups, which are led by at least one PostDoc:

Our research areas of interest are

statistical computing and computational statistics
predictive modeling, especially non-linear classification and regression
boosting and ensembles
deep learning
automated machine learning
model- and variable selection
expensive black-box / Bayesian optimization
interpretable machine learning

2019-01-17: The Munich Center for Machine Learning is being launched.
Prof. Dr. Bernd Bischl, Prof. Dr. Thomas Seidl and Prof. Dr. Daniel Cremers are launching the Munich Center for Machine Learning, a co-operation between the Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich (LMU) and the Technical University Munich (TUM).
Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) have become scientific key technologies. Prof. Dr. Bernd Bischl is one of the leading members of the newly established research center Munich Center for Machine Learning (MCML). Funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, the center will bundle excellent ML research, connect with industry and educate students.
The Munich Center for Machine Learning is lead jointly by Prof. Dr. Thomas Seidl and Prof. Dr. Bernd Bischl (on the LMU side) and Prof. Dr. Daniel Cremers (for TUM). Read More
