Lennart Schneider

About

Since June 2021, I am a PhD student at the Chair of Statistical Learning and Data Science. I obtained both an MSc degree in Statistics as well as an MSc degree in Psychology after studying Statistics (LMU Munich), Psychology and Mathematics (Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen).

Prior to joining as a PhD student, I worked as a student assistant doing software development within the mlr3 ecosystem. Moreover, I am author and maintainer of mlr3mbo - an R package for flexible Bayesian Optimization.

My main research interests include Hyperparameter Optimization (HPO), Neural Architecture Search (NAS), Automated Machine Learning (AutoML), Black Box Optimization in general, and Benchmarking.
