Our goals, mission, and team: Learn more about us.
Established in 2017 as a permanent research institution, the LIT AI Lab has three seed groups conducting core AI research:
- Deep Learning (Sepp Hochreiter)
- Logical Reasoning (Martina Seidl, former head: Armin Biere)
- Computational Perception (Gerhard Widmer)
as well as four additional research groups:
- Artificial Intelligence in Life Sciences (Günter Klambauer)
- Human-centered AI (Markus Schedl)
- Computational Data Analytics (Johannes Fürnkranz)
- Robust AI (Werner Zellinger)
The expertise in these seven groups is now complemented by
- Pervasive Computing (Alois Ferscha)
- Software Engineering (Alexander Egyed)
- Symbolic Computing (Manuel Kauers)
at our Graduate School of Artifical Intelligence. The doctoral program benefits from the synergies in these ten groups, focusing on interdisciplinary research to advance AI. In order to broaden the application areas of our AI research at the LIT AI Lab, we collaborate closely with other JKU institutes that conduct related research as well as with international companies.
