Philipp Becker

I am currently pursuing a PhD in Machine Learning at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), supervised by Prof. Gerhard Neumann. During my PhD studies, I was involved with the FZI Research Center for Information Technology, working towards establishing a new research group under Prof. Neumann's direction from spring 2023 to summer 2024. Before my time at KIT, I worked with the Bosch Center for Artificial Intelligence and the University of Tübingen for eight months. Furthermore, I have a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and a Master's degree in Autonomous Systems (Computer Science) from the Technical University Darmstadt.

I am currently interning at the Samsung AI Center in Cambridge and aim to complete my PhD by Summer 2025.

Research

My research focuses on world models for Reinforcement Learning with multimodal and high-dimensional observations. Here, I combine probabilistic state space models with deep learning to learn dynamics models and concise representations as published in:

Beyond this, I worked on projects covering a wide range of topics such as

These works are published in venues such as NeurIPS, ICLR, CoRL, etc...

Here is a list of all my publications.
