We are the Open World Lifelong Machine Learning Lab at the University of Bremen
Our central mission is to develop adaptive AI systems that continue learning throughout their lifecycles.
As a member of the university’s high-profile area “Minds, Media, Machines”, we strongly believe that lifelong learning is pivotal to making technology sustainable, inclusive, and accessible!
Open World
The world is open!
Our world is infinitely rich and beautifully diverse. It surprises us with constant novelty and continues to confront us with the yet unknown. Let us take machine learning into this world and embrace it.
Lifelong
Humans continue learning!
Humans constantly improve and revise their knowledge. They profit from structured curricula and remedy their earlier mistakes. Let us equip machine learning systems with these remarkable adaptation capabilities.
Machine Learning
ML models should be modularly updatable!
ML algorithms tailor models to limited tasks. The resulting rigidity implies frequent retraining. Let us revise this static approach and root models in sustainable updates instead.
