Max Planck researchers investigate “quantum neural networks” as a building block for more efficient visual-computing models. The “4D Quantum Computer Vision” research group at the Max Planck Institute (MPI) for Informatics in Saarbrücken, Germany, is investigating the potential of quantum computing for computer-based image processing, also known as visual computing.…
The new graduate school will develop advanced AI methods for basic life sciences research. The school will focus on deepening understanding of biological systems by combining modern biomedical technologies with innovative approaches to artificial intelligence. The aim is to train a new generation of scientists who will develop algorithms that…
Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics develop techniques for creating photorealistic, three-dimensional full-body and head avatars. Realistic digital avatars are becoming increasingly relevant, for example in virtual and augmented reality applications, video conferencing, films and computer games, or in medicine. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute (MPI) for…
The fellowship is in the area of Algorithms and Optimization. Yonggang Jiang is now supported by the Google PhD Fellowship. This program recognizes and supports outstanding doctoral candidates conducting innovative research in computer science and related fields. The financial support can run for up to two years; a reviewal will…
