My research is centered around automated machine learning (AutoML) and related topics such as meta-learning, hyperparameter optimization, algorithm configuration and algorithm selection, as well as supervised learning methods. Specifically, I am interested in methods for multi-label classification. Beyond that, my research interests are widespread and include uncertainty quantification, evolutionary machine learning, machine learning in IT security, part of speech tagging, service-oriented software architectures, and (co-)active learning.
