Research
I’m a computer science PhD student at the Data and Web Science Group at the University of Mannheim, where I am supervised by Prof. Goran Glavaš. My interests lie in transfer learning for Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Information Retrieval (IR). Currently, I am very interested in resource-lean transfer methods including, but not limited to, unsupervised, few-shot, and zero-shot learning applied to cross-lingual IR and NLP.
