Data Management & Visualization Research Group
Introduction
"Data and AI are our passion! We make data intelligent, visible, and usable."
We seamlessly combine innovation and expertise in the ever-evolving world of data and artificial intelligence. By integrating generative AI and agent-based systems, we unlock new dimensions in data engineering, data management, and AI-driven automation. Our solutions provide a robust foundation for digital processes – from the precision of relational databases to the flexibility of document-based architectures and the connected intelligence of graph-based models.
Intelligent Data
With over 25 years of experience in web development and data processing, we design intuitive, AI-driven interfaces that optimize human-digital interaction. Through interactive applications and AI-powered assistants, we transform data into actionable insights and automate processes to make data-driven decision-making more efficient than ever.
Visible Data
The next generation of recommender systems combines generative AI with data science and state-of-the-art web technology. In doing so, we create intelligent, adaptive user experiences that anticipate needs, generate dynamic content, and personalize digital interactions. AI-based visualizations and explainable models provide clarity in complex data landscapes.
Usable Data
“Shape the future with us – every interaction, every AI-generated insight, and every decision tells a story of innovation and progress.”
