Could you name some DL companies in Berlin please? I'm very interested in this and based here, so I'd love to learn more about interesting projects here. So far my impression was that the "deep tech" scene in Berlin is minuscule compared to e.g. London and SV, and that most companies here work in ad tech and e-commerce (two fields which I have no interest in at all).

By pure chance I know one exception to this ad-tech/e-commerce bias in Berlin: I'm at a Berlin-based company[0] working on DL and deep RL for industrial applications (think robots, optimisation and control).

That's way cool. I'm a cybernetics graduate, and I've long thought that the current ways of regulating processes could probably be improved upon with ML. Tough to get any one to pay attention because PID is usually good enough, and the field generally value mathematical analyzability, which ANNs are not particularly known for.

Is there any way I can contact you directly?

Do you live in Berlin? Am also looking for like minded people. Munich seems to have more to be honest, and has a new ML incubator.

I know we hear a lot about Berlin being a startup hub but does Munich also have a startup scene? Lovely city.

Do you know the name of the incubator?

Sorry, I meant Machine Learning. You're right.
