Our research group will be represented at this year’s IEEE SOCC 2026, taking place in Heidelberg from September 30 to October 2, 2026. Dr.-Ing. Andreas Erbslöh and Prof. Dr. Gregor Schiele are organizing a special session on “Hardware/Software Codesign for Deep Learning Systems”.

The special session will focus, among other topics, on software and compiler optimization for AI workloads, the deployment of deep learning models on specialized hardware and innovative accelerator architectures, as well as hardware-assisted approaches for searching for optimal model architectures.

We are pleased to announce that two papers from our research group have been accepted for the 60th Annual Conference of the German Society for Biomedical Engineering (BMT 2026). The conference will take place from October 6 to 8, 2026, at the University of Augsburg.

The two papers, “Towards a Pseudo-Labeling Workflow for Celltype-Classification from Explanted Brain Slice Recordings” and “Evaluation of a Stimulation Platform for Retinal Experiments” focus on methods for the experimental investigation and analysis of neuronal systems.

From September 7 to 9, the International Conference on Collaborative Technologies and Data Science in Smart City Applications (CoDASSCA) took place at the American University of Armenia (AUA). Julian Hoever and Natalie Maman participated in the conference, presenting their accepted papers.

Participation in CoDASSCA also reflects the long-standing and close collaboration between our research group and the American University of Armenia!

Our lab helped co-organize this year’s ITEM Workshop. Dr.-Ing. Andreas Erbslöh and Prof. Dr. Gregor Schiele organize this workshop series in collaboration with Heidelberg University and the Technical University of Darmstadt; this year’s event took place in Naples from September 7 to 11 as part of ECML-PKDD 2026.

The ITEM Workshop brings together researchers and practitioners from the fields of machine learning, embedded systems, IoT, edge computing, and hardware design.
