The AKPIK is an interdisciplinary forum of scientists, which addresses current questions in the intersection of data-intense analyses in physics and machine learning.

Chances and risks in the application of state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms is discussed in a close collaboration with Computer Scientists and representatives from industry 4.0. Furthermore, suggestions for the competences and profiles of Data Scientists are worked out. Together with Katharina Morik, Tim Ruhe is the second member of the CRC joining the board of the AKPIK.
