Michael Sejr SchlichtkrullPostdoctoral Research Associate, University of Cambridge
Hi there! I'm Michael, a postdoctoral research associate working with Andreas Vlachos on automated fact verification at the Department of Computer Science and Technology at the University of Cambridge. I recently graduated with my PhD thesis from the University of Amsterdam, where I worked with Ivan Titov on building NLP models that incorporate structured data. During my PhD I have also interned with Amazon Berlin, as well as with FAIR London.
My research is focused on modelling structured data sources - such as knowledge graphs, tables, or parse trees - for NLP. I am very interested in developing techniques that improve the way we interact with information, whether that is through question answering systems that allow us to interrogate data or fact-checking systems that help us reason about the veracity of data.
I have a background in computer science, software engineering, with a sprinkle of cognitive science thrown in for good measure. I have an M.Sc. degree in It & Cognition from the University of Copenhagen and a B.Sc. degree in Software Engineering from the Technical University of Denmark.
