The Carl-Zeiss-Stiftung is supporting the establishment of a Centre for Machine Learning at Aalen University with €2.7m. The funding is provided by financing two professorships with six staff positions over a period of five years. The two endowed professorships, entitled Computer Vision and Deep Learning, are intended, among other things, to develop modern procedures for the evaluation of image and video data in industrial production.
