Wessel Poelman

I work at the KU Leuven as a PhD student in the LAGoM group of Miryam de Lhoneux. My research focuses on multilingual natural language processing, in particular: incorporating under-used resources, evaluation and sampling.

Before coming to Belgium, I worked at the Technical University of Munich in Germany for half a year as a research associate (Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter). Before that, I completed a master’s in Information Science at the University of Groningen and worked for about two years as a machine learning engineer at Web-IQ. You can find more details on my about page.

Non-academic writing

I occasionally write about (strange) things I find interesting. I also maintain some lists, which you can find at the top.

Projects

  1. qwanqwa: a toolkit to work with a large variety of language metadata (identifiers, speaker information, locales, …)
  2. typdiv-sampling: a framework to create and evaluate language samples (together with Esther Ploeger)
  3. ud-boxer: DRS parsing with Universal Dependencies
