Method Competence Center
The Method Competence Center supports consulting and implementation of digital aspects of research projects.
Offers of the Method Competence Center:
- Advanced Trainings and Courses on artificial intelligence, machine learning/deep learning, data science, computing, etc.
- Research data management (repositories, documentation, publications, RIS, etc.)
- Consulting on (complex/advanced) digitization issues in research, both methodological expertise and use of tools.
- Implementation support & scientific engineering
- Application of Data Science or other methods incl. evaluation/result as a service
- Preparation of methods and algorithms from CDLs for further use, e.g. in the context of software libraries and data sets
Together with the Center for Sustainable Research Data Management (FDM) and the Regional Computing Center (RRZ), we support research projects with digital aspects from conception to implementation and continuation to long-term archiving.

Areas
The Method Competence Center aims to cover the needs of all research areas with regard to digital aspects. In many research projects, the research in a particular subject area requires certain services from the methodological sciences, which enable research questions to be dealt with using digital methods in the first place. The removal of obstacles through simplified access to methods can lead directly to new scientific findings and, in the medium term, also generate interesting questions for the methodological sciences, which can be addressed, for example, in Cross-Disciplinary Labs.
In the following, we list methods for which we already can provide expertise.
General Area
- Machine learning: clustering and classification, feature-based and neural methods "Deep Learning"
- Tooling for manual classification of data (annotation, coding)
- Scaling to large data sets
- Stream Processing
Unstructured Data
- Processing of audio: noise reduction, transcription into multiple languages, speaker separation
- Processing of image data and video: Automatic description, classification, similarity search, image segmentation, optical character recognition
- Text processing: Faceted search, semantic indexing, proper name recognition, text mining, document classification, information extraction, sentiment analysis
- Processing of multimodal data: Web crawling, storage, crossmodal search
Structured Data
- Optimization and mathematical modeling
- Statistical analysis and Hypothesis Testing
- Big data analysis
- Time series analysis
