BIFOLD database systems research papers were accepted at CIDR 2021
Researchers at the Database Systems and Information Management (DIMA) group at TU Berlin and the Intelligent Analytics for Massive Data (IAM) group at DFKI have been informed that their papers were accepted for presentation at the 11th Annual Conference on Innovative Data Systems Research (CIDR ’21) which will be held as a virtual event on January 11-15, 2021.
BIFOLD research paper on machine learning for quantum chemistry published in Nature Communications
The Paper “Quantum chemical accuracy from density functional approximations via machine learning” by Mihail Bogojeski, Leslie Vogt-Maranto, Mark E. Tuckerman, Klaus-Robert Müller, Kieron Burke was published in Nature Communications. In this paper, the authors leverage machine learning to calculate coupled-cluster energies from DFT densities, reaching much better quantum chemical accuracy on test data than achieved with previous available methods. Moreover, their approach significantly reduced the amount of training data required.
Deep reinforcement learning enables robot to beat humans in olympic sport
A Deep Reinforced Learning framework, developed by BIFOLD Co-director Prof. Dr. Klaus-Robert Müller and his colleagues at the Department of Brain and Cognitive Engineering of the Korea University in Seoul, enabled the robot “Curly” to beat top-level athletes in the Olympic sport of curling. The work was recently featured in Nature Research Highlights.
Using machine learning to combat the coronavirus
A joint team of researchers from TU Berlin and the University of Luxembourg is exploring why a spike protein in the SARS-CoV-2 virus is able to bind much more effectively to human cells than other coronaviruses. Google.org is funding the research with 125,000 US dollars.
Prof. Müller presents Berlin’s AI research network at Ellis Berlin inauguration
In a virtual inauguration event, the European Laboratory for Learning and Intelligent Systems (Ellis) network welcomed new regional network units. Prof. Dr. Klaus-Robert Müller presented the AI research network in Berlin as well as BIFOLD’s approach of combining Machine Learning and Big Data research.
TU Berlin and DFKI database systems researchers offer multiple presentations at VLDB 2020
Researchers at TU Berlin Database Systems and Information Management (DIMA) group and Intelligent Analytics for Massive Data (IAM) group at DFKI presented one full paper, one demo paper and three PhD thesis papers at the 46th International Conference on Very Large Databases (VLDB 2020).
Building with molecules due to reinforced learning
In a cooperation between the Machine Learning group at TU Berlin, led by Prof. Dr. Klaus-Robert Müller (Co-Director BIFOLD) and Jülich’s Quantum Nanoscience institute, led by Prof. Dr. Stefan Tautz, researchers enabled a robot to selectively grip and move single molecules from a layer, by applying reinforced learning. This work was announced a Scientific Breakthrough by the Falling Walls Foundation at this years Berlin Science Week.
An overview of the current state of research in BIFOLD

The following summary provides an overview of recent research activities and successes.
Newest work on the Nebulastream system by database systems researchers of TU Berlin and DFKI will be presented at VLIoT 2020
The Paper “NebulaStream: Complex Analytics Beyond the Cloud” by Steffen Zeuch et al. was accepted for presentation at the 2020 International Workshop on Very Large Internet of Things (VLIoT 2020). VLIoT 2020 will take place in conjunction with the VLDB 2020 conference.
In this paper, the NebulaStream (NES) project team in DFKI’s IAM group and TU Berlin’s DIMA group shows why there is a need for a new End-to-End data processing systems for the Internet of Things (IoT).
TU Berlin datalog research paper was accepted for presentation at LSGDA 2020
