David Thulke
Hi, I am PhD student within the Human Language Technology Group
at the Chair of Computer Science 6 of the RWTH Aachen University supervised by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Hermann Ney since January 2020. Additionally, I work as a language processing scientist at AppTek.
My personal research interests include:
- Retrieval Augmented Generation
- Pretraining of (Large) Language Models
- Named Entity Recognition
