The team of Thomas Brox is working on computer vision and deep learning with focus on visual representation learning, video analysis, and learned 3D representations. In particular, they explore ways to train deep networks with less data and less human supervision, which is today the bottleneck for most application domains. They are also investigating the robustness of learned models to data variation
