My work aims at making latent (often ordinal) intensity concepts measurable (friend-enemy relationships, conflict intensity, sentiment analysis, ...). I am a PhD student at the Institute for Machine Learning at ETH Zurich and have experience in industry (IBM AI Core, Microsoft Research, German Federal Foreign Office) and research (UCL, University of Oxford, Tsinghua University).
