Frank Hutter, a German computer scientist, mathematician and professor at University of Freiburg. His research covers the fields of machine learning, deep learning, automated problem solving, stochastic optimization, stochastic gradient descent and Bayesian optimization. He defended his M.Sc. degree on stochastic local search at Darmstadt University of Technology in 2004 under Thomas Stützle and Holger H. Hoos, and his Ph.D. on Automating the Configuration of Algorithms for Solving Hard Computational Problems at University of British Columbia in 2009 under Holger H. Hoos, Kevin Leyton-Brown and Kevin P. Murphy.
