Emanuel Slany holds a bachelor's degree in Political Science, which he obtained from the University of Bamberg in 2018. Also at the University of Bamberg, he achieved a Master's degree in Survey Statistics in 2020. His research was focused on numerical approximation of Bayesian neural networks. During his master studies, Emanuel Slany worked at Fraunhofer IIS. Afterwards, Emanuel Slany worked as a Data Scientist for HUK-Coburg. A year and a half later, he returned to the Fraunhofer IIS, where he is currently working on the Human-Centered AI project to integrate logic with numerics in order to make Bayesian multi-objective optimization methods interactive and explainable. He is also pursuing a doctoral degree in this research area at the chair of Cognitive Systems.

The Comprehensible Artificial Intelligence (AI) group at Fraunhofer IIS builds trustworthy AI systems that actively interact with humans.
Our current research focus is Neuro-Symbolic Integration - thus, a combination of state-of-the-art Machine Learning algorithms with symbolic approaches like probabilistic logic.
This includes but is not limited to the following topics:
- Bayesian Learning
- Probabilistic Inductive Logic Programming
- Computational Statistical Algorithms
