Dynamical
Inference Lab

Understanding biological computation through machine learning.

We are a research group led by Steffen Schneider at the Institute of Computational Biology, Helmholtz Munich. We develop robust, identifiable and interpretable machine learning methods that connect representation learning with the inference of nonlinear dynamics. We work on the foundations of these methods and apply them to questions from systems neuroscience, cell biology and other areas of the life sciences.
