About

I am a PhD student at the Computer Vision Group and the Research Group for Automated Algorithm Design under the supervision of Frank Hutter and Thomas Brox. Before that I did my master degree at the University of Freiburg.

Research Interests

My research focuses on new ways to construct robust automated (deep) learning systems, that can learn with almost no human intervention. More precisely my research areas include:

  • Bayesian optimization
  • Automated hyperparameter optimization and architecture search
  • Bayesian deep neural networks
  • General deep learning

Code

  • RoBO: A python framework for Bayesian optimization. It also contains code for Fabolas and Bohamiann
  • HPOlib2: A set of benchmarks for automated hyperparameter optimization

Datasets

  • LC-dataset: Learning curves from different machine learning algorithms that we used as benchmarks in our LC-Net paper
