RESEARCH STAFF (M/F) – MACHINE LEARNING FOR USER MODELING AND USER-ADAPTIVE INTERACTION

15.02.2018, Wissenschaftliches Personal

fortiss is the research institute of the Free State of Bavaria for software-intensive systems and services with headquarters in Munich. Our institute, funded by the Free State of Bavaria, is part of Bavaria’s digitalization initiative, collaborates on research, development and transfer projects with universities and technology companies in Bavaria, Germany and Europe. Our research focuses on state of the art methods, techniques and tools of software development, und drives the development of the artificial intelligence of tomorrow. fortiss has the legal structure of a non-profit limited liability company (GmbH). Its shareholders are the Free State of Bavaria (as majority shareholder) and the Fraunhofer Society for the Promotion of Applied Research. The mission of the Human-centered Engineering (HCE) at fortiss is to work out the foundations of usability for software engineering and to develop intelligent user interfaces. By utilizing machine learning techniques, our focus lies on the research into user-, domain- and task-models to ensure human-machine-interaction as natural and as robust as possible. Cognitive interaction is improved by integrating multimodal elements.

We are expanding our research team with
