Short Bio
Over the course of my graduate studies I pursued research in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Information Retrieval. During my Master studies at Technical University of Kaiserslautern at the IUPR lab headed by prof. Thomas Breuel, I participated in developing a tool for automatic detection of prohibited items in x-ray images for airport security checks. Later, at DFKI GmbH (German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence), I developed a sentiment analysis and summarization tool as a part of my master thesis under the supervision of Prof. Andreas Dengel. This tool was the basis for a number of research publications and text analysis systems developed at DFKI. During my PhD studies in the information retrieval group at Università della Svizzera italiana (USI) under the supervision of prof. Fabio Crestani I designed various machine learning and information retrieval models for developing a personal assistant system of the future. I contributed to the FET EU project RECALL, by designing models for augmenting human memory. During a research visit at the AI lab at Brown university under the supervision of prof. Carsten Eickhoff,I designed the first customizable abstractive summarization model outperforming the state of the art in terms of standard evaluation metrics at the time.
Currently, I work at the Swiss AI lab IDSIA as a post-doctoral researcher working in the domains of Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning.
