Marius Mosbach

I am a postdoctoral fellow at McGill University and a researcher at Mila - Quebec AI Institute in Montréal :canada:.

Before that, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Language Science and Technology Department of Saarland University :de:, where I also did my PhD in Computer Science. My PhD advisor was Dietrich Klakow.

The overarching goal of my research is to build natural language processing (NLP) systems that are well understood, robust, adaptable, and accessible; we should have a rigorous understanding of when and why NLP systems work or fail, they should be robustly deployable in a variety of real-world scenarios with guarantees about their performance and generalization, they should be easy to adapt to new domains and problems, and they should be accessible by and useful to everyone.

In my free time, I enjoy CrossFit :weight_lifting_man:, playing soccer :soccer:, and baking :cake:.
