As part of this colloquium, we will give our inaugural lectures entitled “Networked Cyber-Physical Systems: From Connected Things to Thinking Systems” and “Autonomous Cyber-Physical Systems: Towards a Life Without Batteries.” The program will be complemented by a guest lecture by Prof. Dr. Kay Uwe Römer, Head of the Institute of Computer Engineering at Graz University of Technology, on the topic of “Dependable Internet of Things for Mice and Men.”

These lectures are an important milestone for us and, at the same time, a wonderful opportunity to look back on our academic journey so far and give you a preview of our upcoming research. After the lecture, we invite you to a small reception to celebrate together with a glass of sparkling wine. We look forward to your participation and kindly ask you to register by November 11, 2025.

On September, 25th to 27th, 2023 the third MLE Days on machine learning in engineering will take place on the campus of the Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH). This year, it combines a summer school with a one-day startup-challenge. Participation is free of charge.

The Summer School teaches insights into the world of machine learning with a focus on engineering. It provides sessions about fundamentals of machine learning, concrete application examples, as well as hands-on sessions to try out and consolidate lessons learned. Keynote talks complete the program. Three parallel tracks are provided to allow participants to choose contributions adapted to their interest and machine learning experience. The use cases range from sensor and image processing, to electrical engineering and materials science, to aviation and maritime logistics. A poster session and an elevator pitch event allow participants to present their own work on machine learning topics. The best posters and pitches will be selected by a jury and awarded prizes. A networking event allows attendees to establish contacts with selected corporate partners and sponsors from start-ups and medium-sized businesses to large corporations. In the startup-challenge attendees learn how to turn machine learning ideas into a business.

The MLE Days are organized by the Machine Learning in Engineering research initiative of the TUHH (MLE@TUHH) in collaboration with the Helmholtz Center Hereon, DASHH, and the Career Center of TUHH, the AI.Startup.Hub, and AI.HAMBURG. The MLE initiative joins the competencies in the field of machine learning at the Hamburg University of Technology with the goal of transferring knowledge towards business and industry. Students, PhD students, postdocs, and professors from all disciplines of the TUHH are engaged together with colleagues from the Helmholtz Center Hereon to make methods and applications of machine learning known, to network, and to foster scientific exchange.

Join us to discover the new applications of machine learning in engineering practice!

The Machine Learning in Engineering (MLE) initiative integrates competencies and activities in the field of machine learning at Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH) and partner organizations from the Hamburg metropolitan area. Within the Machine Learning in Engineering (MLE) initiative, students, doctoral candidates, postdocs, researchers, and professors from all departments at the TUHH and from the partners are working interdisciplinary together. The aim is to conduct fundamental research particularly relevant for the development of new technology, thereby contributing to the digital transformation of the engineering sciences. In addition to basic research, the initiative aims at transferring knowledge to business and industry. Among a number of instruments for this kind of transfer, the annually organised MLE days provide a natural opportunity for education and knowledge exchange.

Registration: If you want to attend, please, send an email to Ulrike Schneider (in cc) with your name and affiliation. The registration is open until 01.03.2025. The number of participants is limited by the size of the lecture hall. For guaranteeing your participation and to make planning (particularly of the coffee breaks) easier, please register as soon as possible. Your data will only be used for organizing the MLE Days.

Program (preliminary):
09:00-15:00: Presentations by MLE-members and partners following the updated MLE structure here   
15:00-17:00: Poster & Networking session

Catering: There will be a coffee break in the morning and afternoon with hot drinks and snacks. Lunch in the canteen is to be paid for by the participants themselves.

Poster in English until 14.02.2025.

The organizing committee reserves the right to reject registrations and poster contributions. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the organizing team via mle@tuhh.de .
