Research projects

SE4ML - Processes, People and Tools

In this reseach project, we aim to contribute to the development of new ML-specific system development approaches. To this end, we analyze and aim to improve the development processes and associated tooling environments. This of course involves a close coordination with the people involved in the process and applying the tools.
