Previous Group Members

This page lists previous group members, both in Bamberg and before moving to Bamberg. The information between 2014 and 2023 therefore refers to the group on Information Extraction and Interpretation, which was part of the chair of Theoretical Computational Linguistics at the IMS at Uni Stuttgart. Some information before that time refers to work at the University of Bielefeld and the Fraunhofer Institute SCAI.
