The Research Training Group (RTG) Neuroexplicit Models is a DFG-funded interdisciplinary initiative dedicated to advancing the next generation of artificial intelligence.

Current AI systems achieve remarkable performance, but often struggle with generalization, robustness, and interpretability. Our research addresses these challenges by combining neural approaches with explicit modeling, creating AI systems that are more reliable, transparent, and adaptable.

We investigate how neural and explicit methods can be integrated across three key areas: Language, Vision, Action and Foundation.
By bridging these areas, we aim to develop AI systems that perform well not only in controlled settings, but also in complex real-world environments.

Today, 24 PhD researchers work alongside 12 principal investigators on a wide range of innovative projects. Together with more associated early-career researchers and student assistants, we are building Europe largest hub for next-generation AI, advancing research beyond deep learning.
