Bethge Lab

Bethge Lab is a research group led by Professor Matthias Bethge at the University of Tübingen in Germany, specializing in 'Neuro AI'. This field explores the intersection of machine learning and computational neuroscience, aiming to develop ML tools for neural data analysis. The lab draws inspiration from the brain to solve key problems in machine learning, with a core focus on autonomous lifelong learning. This area highlights the ability of biological brains to continuously accumulate knowledge from unlabeled data streams, a capability current AI systems struggle with.

The lab conducts innovative research in representation learning, probabilistic inference, generative modeling, behavioral and neural data analysis. They also engage in AI entrepreneurship and broader impact initiatives, collaborating with other researchers, startups, and organizations to drive innovation. The Bethge Lab is committed to practical applications and real-world impact, improving out-of-distribution robustness and addressing shortcut learning in AI systems.
