Interpretable & Trustworthy Deep Learning

			Explaining, Interpreting & Understanding Deep Neural Networks
			With the availability of large databases and recent improvements in deep learning methodology, the performance of AI systems is reaching or even exceeding the human level on an increasing number of complex tasks. However, because of their nested non-linear structure, these highly successful machine learning models are usually applied in a black box manner, i.e., no information is provided about what exactly makes them arrive at their predictions. Since this lack of transparency can be a major drawback, e.g., in medical applications, research towards an explainable AI (XAI) has recently attracted increasing attention. Our work focuses on the development of methods for visualizing, explaining and interpreting deep neural networks and other black box ML models. With Layer-wise Relevance Propagation (LRP) we have proposed a general technique for explaining the classifier's decisions by decomposition, i.e., by measuring the contribution of each input variable to the overall prediction. For instance, LRP shows in the example below that the basis for the AI system's decision, namely the classification of the image as "rooster", is the rooster's red comb and wattle. The LRP algorithm has been successfully applied in many domains and has a profound mathematical basis due to it's close relation to the Taylor decomposition of the neural network function.

			Reliable and Robust Deep Learning
			Adversarial attacks on deep learning models have been demonstrated to be imperceptible to a human, while decreasing the model performance considerably. We develop novel strategies that allow to train robust and trustworthy deep neural networks. For instance, to cope with adversarial samples we relax these samples onto the underlying manifold of the (unknown) target class distribution. The adversarial example is transformed back from off-manifold onto the data manifold for which the learning model was originally trained and where it can perform well and robustly.

Deep Models, Architectures & Applications

			Applications of Deep Learning
			Deep neural networks are an essential component of many state-of-the-art AI systems solving practical problems such as visual object recognition, speech recognition, or natural language processing. We explore the use of deep learning for various classification and recognition tasks on image, text and video data, including image classification, compressed domain object tracking, document topic classification, sentiment analysis, visual question answering, human action recognition and detection of face morphing attacks. Related publications: Lapuschkin et al. 2016, Arbabzadah et al. 2016, Gül et al. 2016, Srinivasan et al. 2017, Lapuschkin et al. 2017, Marban et al. 2017, Arras et al. 2017, Seibold et al. 2017, Bosse et al. 2018, Horst et al. 2019, Bubba et al. 2019, Strodthoff et al. 2020, Hägele et al. 2020, Vielhaben et al. 2020, Slijepcevic et al. 2022

			Recurrent Neural Networks & Deep Architectures
			Recurrent neural networks such as LSTMs have an internal memory which allows to model dynamic temporal behavior. This makes them applicable to time series analysis and regression problems. We investigate the use of different recurrent architectures and combinations of CNNs and LSTMs for applications such as sentiment analysis, tracking or visual question answering. Furthermore, we develop variants of the LRP algorithm to explain and interpret these recurrent models. Related publications: Marban et al. 2017, Arras et al. 2017, Osman & Samek 2019, Marban et al. 2019, Arras et al. 2019

			Visual Question Answering
			Visual question answering (VQA) is an challenging task combining techniques from natural language processing and computer vision. The task typically involves showing an image to a computer and asking a question about that image which the computer must answer. We develop novel attention mechanisms to improve the performance of state-of-the-art VQA models. Related publications: Osman & Samek 2019, Arras et al. 2020 Demo:

			Image Quality Assessment
			Enormous amounts of visual media are ubiquitous today and considerable time and resources are brought up to ensure that the captured, transmitted or presented media is of satisfactory quality. Image quality assessment (IQA) aims at providing methods to measure the quality of visual data in a way that is consistent with human perception. We develop deep CNN models for no-reference and full-reference IQA and investigate the applicability of EEG-based approaches for measuring the perceived quality of images and 3D visualizations.

Machine Learning in Communications

Standardization Activities

The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Focus Group on "Machine Learning for Future Networks including 5G" was established to identify relevant gaps and issues in standardization activities related to the use of machine learning in communications. This includes technical aspects such as use cases, possible requirements, algorithms, architectures and protocols. With our research we are supporting these activities and especially contributing to the working group on "Data Formats & ML Technologies".

The Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) aims to define a compressed, interpretable and interoperable representation for trained neural networks. We support these activities with our research on neural network compression and computationally efficient neural network formats.

			Machine Learning for 5G Networks
			Our research investigates the use of machine learning methods for improving communication, in particular in 5G networks. For instance, we investigate Early Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest feedback schemes enhanced by machine learning techniques as possible path towards ultra-reliable and low-latency communication. Here ML methods can be used to predict the outcome of the decoding process ahead of the end of the transmission. Related publications: Strodthoff et al. 2018b, Strodthoff et al. 2019

			Neural Network Compression and Efficient Deep Learning
			State-of-the-art machine learning models such as deep neural networks are known to work excellently in practice. However, since the training and execution of these models require extensive computational resources, they may not be applicable in communications systems with limited storage capabilities, computational power and energy resources, e.g., smartphones, embedded systems or IoT devices. Our research addresses this problem and focuses on the development of techniques for reducing the complexity and increasing the execution efficiency of deep neural networks. Software: DeepCABAC (software, paper) Related publications: Samek et al. 2018b, Ehmann & Samek 2018, Wiedemann et al. 2019, Wiedemann et al. 2019b, Wiedemann et al. 2020, Wiedemann et al. 2020b, Marban et al. 2020, Wiedemann et al. 2020c, Haase et al. 2020, Wiedemann et al. 2021, Haase et al. 2021, Kirchhoffer et al. 2022, Yeom et al. 2021, Becking et al. 2022, Tech et al. 2022 Workshop on "Efficient Deep Learning for Computer Vision" in CVPR 2020 Special Session on "Neural Network Compression and Compact Deep Features: From Methods to Standards" at IEEE ICIP 2021

			Distributed & Federated Deep Learning
			Large deep neural networks are trained on huge data corpora. Therefore, distributed training schemes are becoming increasingly relevant. A major issue in distributed training is the limited communication bandwidth between contributing nodes or prohibitive communication cost in general. In our research we investigate new methods for reducing the communication cost for distributed training. This includes techniques of communication delay and gradient sparsification as well as optimal weight update encoding. Our results show that the upstream communication can be reduced by more than four orders of magnitude without significantly harming the convergence speed.

			Machine Learning for Video Communication
			By 2019 video data is estimated to make up to 80% of all uploads and downloads on the internet. The transmission and storage of such huge amount of data was only made possible through the use of steadily improving video compression algorithms. In our research we develop machine learning enhanced video coding schemes as well as compressed domain video analysis algorithms, which operate with the data encoded in compressed video bitstream such as motion vectors, block coding modes or transform coefficients of the motion-compensated prediction residuals. Compressed domain approaches generally have lower computational cost compared to pixel domain approaches since they avoid a full decoding of the video, thereby reducing the amount of processing and storage requirements significantly.

Machine Learning for Health

			EEG, ECG and Time Series Signals
			Many biomedical recordings are represented as a time series. For instance, electroencephalography is one of the most popular methods used for the acquisition of neural data. Analysing these signals is challenging, because of its complex spatio-temporal characteristics and low signal-to-noise level. In our research we develop novel techniques for analysis of neural signals as well as other biomedical time series data. Related publications: Samek et al. 2013, Dähne et al. 2015, Sturm et al. 2016, Samek et al. 2016, Avarvand et al. 2017, Samek et al. 2017, Avarvand et al. 2018, Bosse et al. 2018, Horst et al. 2019, Wagner et al. 2020, Sattler et al. 2020, Strodthoff et al. 2021, Slijepcevic et al. 2022

			fMRI, CT and Imaging Data
			The analysis of imaging data poses several strong challenges, in particular, due to its high dimensionality, its strong spatio-temporal correlation, missing measurements and the comparably small sample sizes of these data sets. Our research focuses on the development of deep learning based frameworks that overcomes these challenges. Our LSTM-based model for the analysis and interpretation of whole-brain neuroimaging data scales well to large data sets and is mathematically non-linear, while still maintaining interpretability of the data. It can identify associations between the brain activity of individuals and their underlying cognitive states, not just on the group- or subject-level, but also on the level of single trials and brain samples. Furthermore, we research new algorithms for the analysis of histopathological images and develop hybrid reconstruction frameworks for the inverse problem of limited angle computed tomography, in which entire boundary sections are not captured in the measurements. Our approach fuses model-based sparse regularization with data-driven deep learning. It is reliable in the sense that we only learn the part that can provably not be handled by model-based methods, while applying the theoretically controllable sparse regularization technique to the remaining parts.

			Sequences & Structured Medical Data
			Inferring the properties from sequence data is one of the key problems in bioinformatics. For instance, There is a large body of literature on methods to infer protein properties, most of which make use of additional handcrafted features in addition to the primary sequence alone. We develop novel universal deep sequence models that are pretrained on a language modeling task and can be finetuned on various protein classification tasks. Leveraging large amount of unlabeled data in the form of large, in parts very well-curated protein databases by the use of modern NLP methods, represents a new paradigm in the domain of proteomics.

ML Theory & Robust Statistics

			Robustness to Outliers and Nonstationarity
			Parameter estimation is one of the key tasks in statistics, signal processing and machine learning and has a substantial influence on the performance of algorithms in these fields. The robustness of an estimator is of central importance as data are not only noisy but often also contaminated by outliers and nonstationarity. Our research addresses this problem and focuses on the development of robust algorithms and estimators. Related publications: Samek et al. 2012, Samek et al. 2013, Samek et al. 2017

			Robust Subspace Analysis
			Subspace methods are one of the most common basic tools in many research fields, including machine learning, signal processing, image processing, computer vision, natural language processing, e-commerce, and bioinformatics. Since the available data size, dimension and multi-modality has grown explosively, the importance of subspace methods has increased. Our research focuses on the development of subspace methods, which are efficient and robust against outliers and nonstationarity.
