Teachers

Data Scientist with a passion for NLP and a background as a researcher in Theoretical Linguistics. Specialized in formal approaches to typical aspects of linguistic interaction, such as question answering, implicit information, and discourse organization. Aleksandra loves tackling complex problems and finding patterns in unstructured data. A growing fascination for data science and its applications in Language Technology and AI led me to participate in a data science boot camp. I am an advocate of making science accessible to a broad audience and strongly believe that crowdsourcing is a crucial component of innovation.
