Zur Forschungsprofessur Computerlinguistik

Was ist meine Rolle in CATALPA?

Als Informatiker leite ich die Forschungsprofessur Computerlinguistik und untersuche mit meinem Team, wie mit sprachtechnologischen Verfahren der Bildungsprozess unterstützt werden kann. Ich bin Mitglied im CATALPA-Leitungsteam.

Warum CATALPA?

Die gewinnbringende Einbindung sprachtechnologischer Verfahren in den Bildungsprozess kann nur in einer gemeinsamen Forschungsanstrengung verschiedener Disziplinen gelingen, die im Forschungszentrum in idealer Weise realisiert wird.
