Dr. Sabine Weber

Dr. Sabine Weber is a postdoctoral researcher at the Bamberg NLP Group, specializing in domain adaptation, multilinguality and robustness. They earned their Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University on Edinburgh, focusing on multilingual entailment detection, language adaptation and knowledge graphs. Before that they received a B.Sc. and a M.Sc. in Computer Engineering from the TU Berlin, and a B.A. in Slavic Languages from the Humboldt University Berlin. 

In addition to building models that are more robust and flexible, they are interested in making NLP models more explainable and examining the societal impact of NLP.  They are also a core organizer for the volunteer-run organization Queer in AI.
