Bethge Lab

Bethge Lab, based at the University of Tübingen, is at the forefront of AI research. Their mission is to develop agentic systems that can learn, adapt, and generalize over time, mirroring the open-ended nature of human learning. Their approach is rooted in data-centric machine learning, with a focus on open-ended evaluation and scalable compositional learning. They explore multi-modal foundation models for rapid knowledge retrieval, reuse, and integration. The lab's research encompasses various areas, including open-ended model evaluation and benchmarking, language model agents, lifelong compositional learning, modeling brain representations, attention in humans and machines, and AI sciencepreneurship. They collaborate with several institutions and are involved in initiatives like the Bundeswettbewerb für Künstliche Intelligenz and IT4Kids. Bethge Lab is also part of ELLIS, contributing to the advancement of learning and intelligent systems in Europe.
