Career

Eyke Hüllermeier studied mathematics and business informatics at the University of Paderborn, where he received his doctorate with distinction in 1997 from the then department of mathematics and computer science; For his dissertation on "Reasoning about Systems based on Incomplete and Uncertain Models" he was awarded the sponsorship prize of the Paderborn University Society. Following a two-year research stay as a Marie Curie fellow at the Institut de Recherche en Informatique de Toulouse (IRIT) in France (1998–2000), qualified as a professorhe studied computer science in 2002. Before returning to Paderborn in 2014, he held professorships at the Universities of Marburg (2002–2004), Dortmund (2004), Magdeburg (2005–2006) and Marburg (2007–2014).

Research priorities

Hüllermeier's research focuses on theoretical, methodological and algorithmic issues in the field of machine learning, in particular on:

  • Extensions and generalizations of supervised learning,
  • Preference learning and ranking,
  • Online learning and learning on data streams,
  • Uncertainty in machine learning.

More functions

Hüllermeier is Co-Editor-in-Chief of Fuzzy Sets and Systems, one of the leading journals in the field of computational intelligence. He is also co-editor of other journals including Machine Learning, International Journal of Approximative Reasoning, and Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery. He is the coordinator of the EUSFLAT working group on machine learning and data mining and head of the IEEE CIS task force machine learning.
