Nico Piatkowski
Senior Researcher, Intelligent Analysis and Information Systems IAIS
Nico Piatkowski received the Dipl.-Inf. and Dr. rer. nat. degrees from TU
Dortmund University, Dortmund, Germany. He is currently a senior
researcher at the Media Engineering Group of the Fraunhofer Institute for
Intelligent Analysis and Information Systems IAIS in Sankt Augustin,
Germany. Before that, he was a researcher at the Artificial Intelligence
Group at TU Dortmund, at the DFG Collaborative Research Center SFB 876 on
"Providing Information by Resource-Constrained Data Analysis", and later
at the Competence Center Machine Learning Rhine-Ruhr (ML2R). Nico
contributed to various research projects on the foundations of machine
learning under resource constraints, spatio-temporal modelling, and
probabilistic inference. His current research interests include deep
latent variable models with discrete state spaces, high-dimensional
spatio-temporal generative models, and regularized learning. Nico
Piatkowski received ECML-PKDD's awards for being an outstanding program
committee member and for his work on ''Spatio-Temporal Random Fields'', as
well as TU Dortmund's dissertation award for his work on "Exponential
Families on Resource-Constrained Systems".
