The ELLIS Unit Madrid is a partnership made up of professors and researchers in machine learning from the six public universities in Madrid: Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (founded in 1968), Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (1989), Universidad Complutense de Madrid (1822), Universidad de Alcalá (1499), Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (1971) and Universidad Rey Juan Carlos (1996). The focus of the unit is to develop ground-breaking interpretable probability-based causal machine learning methods for dynamic scenarios and cross-cutting quantum technologies for intelligent systems. Successful application areas include biometrics, computer vision, healthcare, renewable energy, climate, robotics and intelligent vehicles.

Many people are talking about ELLIS

Artificial Intelligence is at the cutting edge of basic research, yet it also has the potential of changing the world for the better. Europe will only be able to shape this development if we invest in outstanding research in this field.
Martin Stramann
Martin StramannPresident of the Max Planck Society
It is today that Europe too must make AI a real priority if it does not want to fall behind inexorably. Such a dropout would be dramatic from an industrial and economic point of view. It would also be very worrying for the consideration of our values in the construction of tomorrow's AI.
Antoine Petit
Antoine PetitPresident of CNRS
It is essential for British science to build strategic relationships with our leading European colleagues, and with AI being a key pillar of our UK industrial strategy, this is exactly the kind of initiative we welcome.
Venki Ramakrishnan
Venki RamakrishnanEx President of the Royal Society
Artificial intelligence will fundamentally change the world. Porsche expressly supports the Ellis Initiative. We must act in order to meet our ethical responsibilities in the development and application of AI. We need research and training in this field at an excellent level – also in Europe
Oliver Blume
Oliver BlumeCEO of Porsche AG
At Bosch we focus on the development of robust, safe and explainable AI powering our products “invented for life”. Achieving excellent, world leading research in AI combined with close academia - industry collaboration will ensure the European competitiveness in this space, therefore Bosch supports the ELLIS initiative.
Michael Bolle
Michael BolleCDO & CTO Robert Bosch GmbH
Europe is home to some of the leading international research groups in artificial intelligence. These technologies have the potential to improve our lives. The development is still in its infancy, and ELLIS wants to ensure that the highest level of research in this field will continue to be performed in the open societies of Europe.
Bernhard Schölkopf
Bernhard SchölkopfDirector at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems
Through deep learning, compute power and big data we have now reached a threshold where AI drives innovation in industry and shapes the society of tomorrow. To maintain prosperity and European values, Europe must act now. ELLIS is the perfect vehicle to become a major player in AI
Max Welling
Max WellingVice President Technologies at Qualcomm
Since 1965, Europeans have created most of the basic ingredients of Deep Learning and modern AI. ELLIS will help to continue this tradition.
Jürgen Schmidhuber
Jürgen SchmidhuberScientific Director of the Swiss AI Lab IDSIA
Researchers from all across Europe are pushing and advancing the state of the art in AI. We are committed to pushing the boundary of AI on behalf of our customers with our teams in many European cities and are looking forward to collaborating with ELLIS researchers.
Ralf Herbrich
Ralf HerbrichDirector Machine Learning at Amazon
Europe urgently needs to invest in nurturing, developing, attracting and retaining top talent in AI and particularly in machine learning related fields. ELLIS is a great initiative to enable us Europeans to achieve this goal and that’s why I support it.
Nuria Oliver
Nuria OliverDirector of Research in Data Science at Vodafone
Ellis will be an important milestone tightening European collaborations and synergies in the field of ML. Ellis is a wake-up call to European policy makers to finally vigorously act upon a topic that is essential for the future of Europe requiring high investments.
