🎉Congratulations!
We are very excited to announce that relAI Fellow Vincent Fortuin has been awarded a European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant for his project "AutoBayes", with the title "Unlocking Reliable Small-data AI through Bayesian Deep Learning".
Most current deep learning models require large amounts of training data and tend to be overconfident in their predictions, undermining their reliability. Over the next five years, Vincent and his team will develop Bayesian deep learning methods to create AI models that are confident using limited data while also improving the quantification of the uncertainty in their predictions.
The ERC Starting Grant is one of the most competitive sources of funding available to early-career researchers; it enables them to pursue ambitious projects, to form their own teams and to gain independence at a crucial point in their careers. This year, the funding—amounting to €705 million in total—has been awarded to 421 early-career researchers throughout Europe.
