Welcome

Hi, my name is Nicholas Popovič.

I am a fourth-year PhD student in Michael Färber's group at TU Dresden & ScaDs.AI. Prior to that I was a member of the Web Science group at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology.

My research focuses on natural language processing and machine learning, particularly on representation learning for information extraction.

You can contact me via email, LinkedIn, Twitter, Bluesky, Google Scholar, or GitHub.
