About Me

I am Director at the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI), where I lead the research department Neuro-mechanistic Modeling. My work focuses on hybrid AI approaches that combine data-driven methods, in particular deep learning models, with explicit domain knowledge in the form of models grounded in physics, mechanistic reasoning, expert knowledge, or formal constraints. This integration enhances robustness, interpretability and generalization, especially in scientific and safety-critical domains where purely data-driven models often fail due to limited or noisy data.

In parallel, I hold a professorship in Computer Science at Saarland University, where I head the Modeling and Simulation group (MOSI). The research of the MOSI group centers on stochastic modeling, efficient simulation techniques, parameter estimation, mean-field analysis, and reinforcement learning. I am particularly passionate about developing methods that are not only theoretically rigorous but also practically applicable across a range of scientific domains.

Interests

My work focuses on hybrid AI approaches that combine data-driven methods – in particular deep learning models – with explicit domain knowledge in the form of models grounded in physics, mechanistic reasoning, expert knowledge, or formal constraints. This integration enhances robustness, interpretability and generalization, especially in scientific and safety-critical domains where purely data-driven models often fail due to limited or noisy data.

Lumping of degree-based mean-field and pair-approximation equations for multistate contact processes

@article{kyriakopoulosLumpingOfDegreeBasedMeanField2018,
$ of the network, which is much smaller than the size of the master equation of the underlying stochastic model, yet numerically solving these equations can still be problematic for large $k_{\max}$. In this paper, we consider AME and PA, extended to cope with multiple local states, and we provide an aggregation procedure that clusters together nodes having similar degrees, treating those in the same cluster as indistinguishable, thus reducing the number of equations while preserving an accurate description of global observables of interest. We also provide an automatic way to build such equations and to identify a small number of degree clusters that give accurate results. The method is tested on several case studies, where it shows a high level of compression and a reduction of computational time of several orders of magnitude for large networks, with minimal loss in accuracy},

Teaching

I offer a variety of courses ranging from the basic courses like ‘Statistics Lab’ and ‘Grundkurs KI’ to more advanced courses such as ‘Reinforcement Learning’. I regularly offer seminars with a focus on current deep learning applications, e.g. AI-based drug discovery.
