It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data.
Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.
– Sherlock Holmes, A Scandal in Bohemia

About

I am a Full Professor at the Department of Computer Science an Mathemtatics at the Philipps-University Marburg, Germany and the Hessian Center for Artificial Intelligence.
I have been excited about all flavours of machine learning for a long time. In particular, I am passionate about bridging the gap between algorithmics and the human. I strongly believe that algorithms should be designed in a way that tightly integrates the user and her mental models of her material world, and the (immaterial) data collected to describe it; Artificial intelligences should be able to explain their reasoning and basis of decision making to end users — in a way that relates to their physical reality and that they can understand. In consequence, my research is characterised by interdisciplinarity and a broad range of application areas. My core research interests are (explainable) machine learning, and natural language processing as well as intersections with human-computer interaction, and information retrieval.
I hold a Ph.D. from the Technical University Graz, Austria (Thesis Topic: Visually Supported Supervised Machine Learning) and a diploma (equiv. M.Sc.) in computer science from the Technical University Chemnitz, Germany.
