Florian Weber

My research interests are in the field of information systems and computational linguistics. With my research I want to help students to improve their skills. Among other things, I focus on the empathy skills of students and the argumentation skills of law students. To design innovative teaching and learning systems, I use artificial intelligence techniques such as natural language processing (NLP).
