Das Ziel unseres Instituts ist es, das Verständnis und die Innovation in Schlüsselbereichen der Informatik voranzutreiben. Die Forschung an unserem Institut umfasst dazu ein breites Spektrum, das von der Erforschung der grundlegenden Prinzipien von Algorithmen und der Untersuchung von Systemen wie dem Internet bis hin zu multimodalen Bereichen wie Computer Vision, Computergrafik, Datenbanken und Informationssysteme, maschinelles Lernen und künstliche Intelligenz reicht. Durch die Verknüpfung dieser verschiedenen Bereiche und die Pflege einer Kultur der Zusammenarbeit arbeiten wir auf höchstem wissenschaftlichem Niveau und arbeiten daran, die Computersysteme von morgen zu gestalten.
