CIB AI research projects
Research project DeepER
With CIB deepER (deep learning extended recognition) you can digitalize the texts of your scanned or photographed documents. CIB deepER also masters vertical, slanted and distorted pictures!
The DeepER project was funded by KMU Innovativ and researched in cooperation with Fraunhofer IAIS.
PRIVATE
You can use text recognition free of charge in the cloud on CIB doXiview or on your smartphone via the CIB doXisafe app!
BUSINESS
You need a different language or character set? CIB deepER can be adapted to your needs.
Research project PoP
Protect Our Privacy – The project, which is funded by KMU Innovativ and being developed in cooperation with Fraunhofer IAIS, is developing an AI-supported, automatic anonymization and pseudonymization.
This project, also funded by KMU Innovativ, is designed to support the manual anonymization of privacy-critical documents from the medical and legal sectors. A constantly learning AI recognizes sensitive data and makes suggestions to the human user. The user’s correction of these suggestions trains the AI on-premise, on what the company is looking for in anonymization. The data remains in the hands of the company at all times, which ensures data protection.

CIB ridmi
CIB ridmi will enable barrier-free reading of scanned or photographed files.
In combination with the scanning app CIB doXisafe and the AI OCR software solution CIB deepER, texts are extracted from images and prepared in an accessible way.
Research project HILANO
Human-in-the-loop annotation – In cooperation with GLANOS, Bucerius Law School and the University of Hamburg, CIB is also involved in the HILANO project.
This project, also funded by KMU Innovativ, is designed to support the manual anonymization of privacy-critical documents from the medical and legal sectors. A constantly learning AI recognizes sensitive data and makes suggestions to the human user. The user’s correction of these suggestions trains the AI on-premise, on what the company is looking for in anonymization. The data remains in the hands of the company at all times, which ensures data protection.
Other research areas
Natural Language Processing
With our AI solutions, we support the creation and understanding of documents wherever possible.
- Language assessment
- Determine language level
- Automatic transcription of video conferences
- Recognition of reading direction and sequence
- Linguistic analysis
- Semantic search
- Automatic text suggestions and alternative formulations

- Realistic text removal
- Font recognition
Business management
Whether incoming mail management, document processing or BPM, CIB also conducts research to make everyday work easier.
- Completeness check of documents
- Fraud check
- Predictive BPM
- Best possible MRC compression for each document with automatic quality control
- Traceability of AI decisions
- Document classification
- Address field correction for postage optimisation
- Automatic text suggestions and alternative formulations

Social Big-Data! Crowdsourcing for a good cause
CIB crowdsource
With our crowdsourcing platform, everyone can help make our AI projects even better!
We attach great importance to data protection: all data processed on the platform by the hard-working members of our community is either irrevocably anonymized or was already free of real personal data and therefore fully DSGVO-compliant.
Making the world a better place
Of course, there is also a reward for participation: each task earns points to be donated to certified non-profit organizations. From children’s and senior citizens’ aid to environmental protection and animal welfare, your help is always welcome!
Modern technologies, intelligent solutions
Our AI-team has extensive knowledge of many different approaches to creating neural networks with different frameworks.
Nets:

- Convolutional Neural Network
- Generative Adverserial Network
- Multilayer Perceptron
- Transformers
- ResNet
Frameworks:
- Tensorflow
- Keras
- PyTorch
Always learning!
Continous Learning
An AI can learn from mistakes. By correcting previous AI results, the training of the AI is constantly adjusted. As soon as the new "smarter" AI has proven that it is better, it replaces the old one and relieves the human even more.
Federated Learning
Data protection is important! If you intend to use an AI solution for critical data, we can help you. The principle of federated learning relies on decentralised training of the AI. Data worth to be protected stays on site, only the learned knowledge of the AI is shared. That way, everyone wins!
Finetuning
Are you interested in one of our AI solutions, but your exact use case - e.g. a language for text recognition - is not yet supported? Talk to us! Our solutions are so flexible that the AI can be retrained very easily.
Mobile AI
AI on the go? With today's computing power in your pocket and the know-how of CIB in many cases no problem! Feel free to contact us about this possibility!
