Looking forward to #acl2025 in Vienna! Excited to catch up. I am also hiring, one fully paid (100% E13) position for either a PhD student or a PostDoc in computational linguistics / digital humanities / corpus linguistics (earliest start date: October 2025). Who is interested?

Last week, we've been on a retreat to talk about the big picture of our research, research ideas, and synergies between group members – and did some team building.
@annefriedrich.bsky.social
was our external guest and helped us out of a couple of local optima. Thank you for participating!

Just came home from an awesome three-day retreat with the BamNLP group of @romanklinger.de. We talked about uncertainty in NLP, modeling emotions, and knowledge editing. Thank you for making me feel so welcome! I immensely enjoyed hanging out at a Bavarian Caribbean beach with you, BamNLP!

Thanks for the nice feedback. :) My favorite in the subtitles was Chatchipiti. 😆

This Wednesday, Christian Chiarcos and I finally gave our inaugural lectures at the University of Augsburg, hosted jointly by the Faculty of Applied Computer Science and the Faculty of Philology and History. Deeply grateful for working in this interdisciplinary context!

Ever wondered how effective LLMs are on detecting problems with formulating patents? Our paper on the new dataset PEDANTIC has just been accepted to PatentSemTech 2025 @ SIGIR 2025 in Padua, Italy. Really proud of Valentin Knappich. Find the prepint here: arxiv.org/abs/2505.21342
