Our research areas are within the field of Evolutionary Computation and data-driven optimization in general. Using such approaches is a possible way to develop methods for increasing the explainability of complex Machine-Learning methods (e.g. neural nets). On the other hand, methods from the field of Evolutionary Computation can further be used as a hidden driver for rule creation approaches or performing learning tasks.

FH Vorarlberg (www.fhv.at) is one of the most research-intensive universities of applied sciences in Austria. The majority of research and development projects are undertaken in collaboration with regional businesses and organisations working at an international level.
