Johanna M. Poppek received her Master’s degree in Computational Linguistics from Ruhr-University Bochum in 2017, being a Research Associate at Linguistics Data Science Lab (earlier: Department of Linguistics) since January 2016.

Profile

I am currently a PhD Student in Computational Linguistics at the Linguistic Data Science Lab (Ruhr-University Bochum). My research interests include approaching linguistic issues with the help of modern data-driven methods of Machine Leaning and Deep Learning - regarding multi-disciplinary fields of research like countability or the interaction between syntax and semantics as well as classical Natural Language Processing. Since I have a keen interest for all kinds of data science aspects, I also work in experimental linguistics and corpus linguistics.
My teaching focuses on practical lectures for NLP and Machine Learning in both Python and R.
