Simeon Junker (né Simeon Schüz)
Researcher

Office: UHG C5-205
Email: simeon dot junker at uni-bielefeld dot de
Website: simeonjunker.github.io

Interests: I work on computational models for contextual influences in referring to visual objects. Apart from that, I’m interested in fields like vision & language, pragmatics and psycholinguistics.





Ronja Utescher
Researcher

Office: UHG C5-211
Email: r dot utescher at uni-bielefeld dot de

Interests: I am a member of the HistKI project, where I work on extracting (semi-)structured information from naturally occuring multi-modal documents. Some of my other research interests include Visual Grounding, Computational Semantics and Vision & Language.





Henrik Voigt
Researcher

Email: henrik dot voigt at uni-jena dot de

Interests: I am working on modelling interactions between human beings and artificial agents in visually augmented and virtual environments. My research interest focuses on combining the fields of Natural Langage Processing and Visualization through gamified user experiences that leverage education, immersive analytics and visual storytelling.





Nazia Attari
Researcher

Office: CITEC-1-231
Email: nattari dot techfak dot uni-bielefeld dot de

Interests: My current research explores the generation of natural language explanations in the domain of concept learning. These explanations can also be treated as concept definition as these are derived from a group of exemplars. I am broadly interested in the  intersection of natural language and vision, and explainability of machine learning models.





Clara Lachenmaier
Researcher

Office: UHG C5-208
Email: clara dot lachenmaier at uni-jena dot de

Interests: I am working on computational applications of Conversation Analysis.





Sanne Hoeken
Researcher

Office: UHG C5-204
Email: sanne dot hoeken at uni-bielefeld dot de

Interests: I work on longitudinal analysis of change and variety in natural language data as part of the SAIL project.





Judith Sieker
Researcher

Office: UHG C5-204
Email: j dot sieker at uni-bielefeld dot de

Interests: I am working on the individualization of language models and language moderation as part of the SAIL project.






Bastian Bunzeck
Researcher

Office: UHG C5-208
Email: bastian dot bunzeck at uni-bielefeld dot de
