Yiyi Liao
Yiyi Liao is a postdoctoral researcher in the Autonomous Vision Group, which is affiliated with the University of Tübingen and the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems. Her research interests include 3D scene understanding, reconstruction, and 3D-aware generative models.
Thursday, 10. December, 21:00-21:30 CET
Fabian Sinz
Fabian Sinz's research interests lie in the combination of machine learning and neuroscience. In 2018, he was appointed leader of the newly established independent Cyber Valley Neuronal Intelligence Research Group at the University of Tübingen. He is also currently an Adjunct Assistant Professor at the Baylor College of Medicine’s Center for Neuroscience and Artificial Intelligence in Houston, Texas.
Friday, 11. December, 21:00-21:30 CET
Wieland Brendel
Wieland Brendel is a team lead at the University of Tübingen. His research focuses on robust and interpretable machine vision algorithms and the theory of representation learning. He studied theoretical physics and completed a PhD in computational neuroscience. Later, he switched to machine learning at the start of his postdoc. In addition to his position at the university, Wieland co-founded Layer7 AI in 2018, and was recently named one of Germany’s “Top 40 under 40” by Capital Magazin.
