Team Boehm: Data Management for Data Science Lab (DAMS Lab)

The DAMS Lab (Data Management for Data Science Laboratory) is a cross-organizational research group uniting the Data Management group of Graz University of Technology, Austria and the research area Data Management of the co-located Know-Center GmbH, Austria.

Our overall mission is to simplify data science by providing high-level, data science-centric abstractions and building systems and tools to execute these tasks in an efficient and scalable manner. To this end, the primary research focus is on ML systems internals for the end-to-end data science lifecycle (from data integration and preparation, over efficient model training, to debugging and serving), large-scale, distributed data management and analysis, as well as infrastructure and benchmarks for data and ML systems.

The creation of the DAMS Lab was realized by a FFG "Stiftungsprofessur" (Endowed Professorship) which is funded by the Austrian Federal Ministry of Climate Action, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology (BMK).
