Research Seminar
Our research seminar takes place on Wednesdays at 10:00 am, usually in hybrid mode (online and on site in GU13, ground floor or 2nd floor; if you want to know the online room, send a short mail to Roman Klinger), but not every week. It consists of presentations by invited researchers, presentations by researchers from our group and students presenting their Bachelor and Master theses. If you are interested in being invited to these presentations, please send an e-mail to roman.klinger(at)uni-bamberg.de or register on the IAM portal for the mailing list bamnlp-research-seminar.nlproc. To the talks labeled as “invited talk” you can always come without registration. This applies to students from the various degree programs at the University of Bamberg as well as to researchers from the WIAI and other faculties. We expect students who are writing their final thesis at our chair to participate in lectures by other students and external guests.
