Who we are
We in the »Self-Learning Systems« group works in a range of advanced machine learning topics. We employ deep learning in combination with reinforcement-learning techniques and methods for reliable and interpretable artificial intelligence (AI). We also use and investigate continual and distributed learning as well as deep compression.
With your help, we want to make use of quantum algorithms in machine learning. Quantum Machine Learning is a young, emerging research field at the intersection between AI and quantum computing. Driven by the results of recent efforts to demonstrate a quantum advantage, the focus of the research community is on developing novel quantum algorithms for today’s quantum computers.
What you can expect from us
Fraunhofer is the largest application-oriented research organization in Europe. In 2019, it was distinguished as Germany’s number one employer in both the Trendence Graduate Barometer (in the “Research” and “Public sector” categories) and in the Randstad Employer Brand Research ranking.
- We value innovative ideas and pursue novel solutions. Join us to play a part in shaping the future.
- We will help you develop personalized soft skills and specialist training.
- We are a family-friendly employer. Sometimes family takes precedence – we get that
We offer you varied and challenging work in an enthusiastic team. You can contribute with your ideas and help design new concepts. Regular training is given, as are flexible, family-friendly work arrangements.
