Arbeitsgruppe Semantische Informationssysteme

Research & Mission

The research of the research group Semantic Information Systems, headed by  Prof. Dr. Martin Atzmueller, centers around Artificial Intelligence (AI), Data Science, and Integrative AI Systems. Its major focus is on machine learning and analysis on complex (sensor) data such as images, graphs, networks, and temporal data, often encountered in complex systems, as well as the respective system view and design perspectives.

Overall, our research focuses on how to 'make sense' of complex information and knowledge processes - supporting intelligent decision making and according acting - by leveraging the massive amounts of data collected in science and industry. This includes research on modeling complex data, explainable AI, interpretable learning, machine perception as well as semantic interpretation. In particular, this also relates to applications in complex integrative AI system domains, for example, to robot control and integrative sensor-based AI systems.

The Semantic Information Systems research group is founding member of the  Research Unit Data Science at Osnabrück University. In addition, the group is also connected with the  German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI), in particular  DFKI Niedersachsen where Prof. Atzmueller is Scientific Director of the  Research Department Cooperative and Autonomous Systems.
In addition, Prof. Atzmueller is founding spokesperson of the  Joint Lab on Artificial Intelligence and Data Science and the  HybrInt research group (Hybrid Intelligence through Interpretable AI in Machine Perception and Interaction).
