Luca M. Schulze Buschoff
I am a fourth year PhD student in cognitive science and machine learning under the supervision of Eric Schulz in the Institute for Human-Centered AI at Helmholtz AI, Munich Germany.
My research asks whether machines perceive and reason about the world the way people do and how to close the gap where they do not, working toward a single model that captures human visual perception and cognition.
