Research on AI and Big Data

ScaDS.AI Dresden/Leipzig expands the former Big Data competence center ScaDS Dresden/Leipzig, founded in 2014, and combines the AI and data science expertise of the partner institutions to close the gap between the efficient use of mass data, knowledge management and advanced AI. For this reason, the center conducts interdisciplinary research with an international team of over 60 Principal Investigators, more than 180 employees and 6 junior research groups in Dresden and Leipzig.
