"Find the best route as quickly as pos­sible every day"

With the steadily increasing integration of artificial intelligence into everyday life, it becomes increasingly important to ask how trustworthy these technologies are. The Research Training Group for Trustworthy AI Technology ‘DataNinja’ aims to contribute to this with various projects. One project is the Real-time Configuration of Algorithms with Multi-armed Bandits (EKAmBa).
