Dr. André Greiner-Petter
Developer, Photogapher & Researcher
I am a creative and open-minded person who loves to learn new things and solve puzzles. One of my favourite hobbies is photography and designing 3D artworks and prints. In 2017, I turned my greatest passions, problem-solving, programming and computers, into a professional career and became a researcher.
My research mainly focuses on Mathematical Information Retrieval (MathIR), Natural Language Processing (NLP), and Semantic Document Analysis (SDA). In the MathIR domain, I was mainly interested in semantically enhancing presentational mathematical expressions in order to allow automatic computations, e.g., via Computer Algebra Systems. You can find a list of my publications here.
