Dr Michael Schlichtkrull
Lecturer
School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science
Queen Mary University of London
Queen Mary University of London
Research
Natural language processing, fact verification, question answering, graph neural networks
Interests
Michael works on automated reasoning over retrieved evidence, focusing especially on automated fact-checking where he has published both models and datasets. He is also interested in interpretability for NLP, as well as techniques for modelling and incorporating structured data such as tables or knowledge bases into NLP applications.Publications
