Prof. Dr. Alexander Binder
ELLIS Member
Professor of Multimodal Machine Learning at Leipzig University 

Professor Binder studied mathematics at the Humboldt University in Berlin. He received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the Technical University of Berlin in 2013. Under the supervision of the ELLIS Unit Berlin Director Prof. Klaus-Robert Müller, he worked on explanations of predictions from bag-of-words models and deep neural networks. This collaboration resulted in the development of Layer-wise Relevance Propagation (LRP), a method primarily used for explaining decisions made by neural networks (XAI). Following research and teaching position in Oslo, Alexander held an assistant professorship at the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) from 2015 to 2020.
