Hi, I'm Sebastian, an AI Engineer at the appliedAI Initiative in Munich. My interests are Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing and Computer Vision.
During my MS Computer Science at Ludwig-Maximilians University in Munich, I worked together with Hinrich Schütze to learn better cross-lingual word embeddings for Chinese and English. Previously, I've worked with Eirini Ntoutsi on mining opionated data streams and published a paper on it at the European Conference on Machine Learning & Principles and Practice of Knowledge Discovery in Databases.Besides my interest in improving learning algorithms, I also find music a fascinating subject to study. In Spring 2015, I interned at Carnegie Mellon University's Computer Music Lab and worked with Roger Dannenberg on automatic music accompaniment.
Together with Georgia Olympia Brikis, I co-founded the weekly AI Journal Club at LMU.
