Our Partners
Academic Partnership: IBM & SAP UCC at TU Munich
IBM and SAP have a prolific 40-year partnership with a rich history of innovation, and the latest collaboration adopted by TUM is a game changer. The SAP University Competence Center (UCC) deployed IBM Power Systems to support its cutting-edge SAP S/4HANA and SAP Business Suite solutions offered as cloud services, to enable hands-on learning. In this partnership, we offer practical courses in cooperation with IBM both in summer and winter semesters. The topics include Data-Science and Machine Learning with open-source technologies as well as tools from IBM. An experience report in Teaching Machine Learning was also published successfully at the European Conference of Machine Learning (ECML2021).

We are happy to announce further research projects with the Helmholtz Zentrum, the University of Applied Science in Munich and the Social Computing Research Group at TUM. The research projects are: Development of an Automated Hate Speech Detector, Multimodel Sentiment Analysis, Self-Supervised Learning with Medical Imaging. Read about the projects here

Expansion of the OpenPower Platform with two additional AC922 machines. Each is equipped with 4x Nvidia V100 GPUs (32GB VRAM each). This allows us to support even more research project. Read about the Open Power System AC922

One of the research projects is "Artificial Intelligence-based Reconstructive Procedures for Environment Modelling", in which a deep learning based Artificial Intelligence (AI) is built to reconstruct illumination parameters, such as the position or direction of a dominant light source, the light colour or the intensity of the light source, from input images.
