Barbara Hammer's expertise lies in the field of intelligent data analysis, explainable machine learning, and trustworthy AI. The methods range from the foundation of algorithms to their efficient application and interdisciplinary aspects, for example in the context of fairness or social implications. Specific current topics are learning for complex spatial-temporal or non-euclidean data including graph networks, explainability of models, or online learning and learning with drift. Applications range from the field of intelligent technical systems to critical infrastructure and the life sciences.
