"Data-driven methods such as machine learning and artificial intelligence are playing an increasingly important role in our society. It is of central importance to be able to guarantee that these methods reliably solve the problems for which they were designed. In my research group we are developing mathematical foundations for such Guarantees deliver and use the insights gained to construct efficient, stable and interpretable AI algorithms." (Philip Grohs)
