Josef Ressel Centre for Robust Decision Making

 

With increasing digitization, large amounts of data are being collected and stored. However, deriving valuable information from this data and integrating it into decision making poses some challenges to companies. 

The Josef Ressel Centre (JRC) for Robust Decisions addresses these problems with tailored artificial intelligence approaches. In particular, the JRC develops robust machine learning and optimization approaches that reduce uncertainties in business processes and support stable, goal-oriented decisions. 

To this end, an interdisciplinary team of researchers explores solutions to real-world problems identified by our corporate partner in the manufacturing and financial sectors. The corporate partners are the automotive supplier Hirschmann Automotive, Hypo Vorarlberg Bank and the consulting companies proTASK Consulting and myPEX.
