Researcher

Alexander Koller

Alexander Koller’s work concerns computational language: how its structure and meaning can be represented, and how models can use those representations to solve problems. Koller earned a computer science doctorate at Saarland University, completed postdoctoral work at Columbia and Edinburgh, and became a professor at Potsdam. The research training group Neuroexplicit Models of Language, Vision, and Action received funding in May 2023. It joins language research with other modelled capabilities.
