Description: Personal homepage and blog of Dennis Aumiller. I am a Member of Technical Staff at Cohere, working on language model evaluation with humans.
I am currently a fourth-year PhD Student at Heidelberg University, focusing primarily on Text Summarization, with a special interest in generating aspect-focused narratives. I do have a general interest in Natural Language Processing, particularly applied Machine Learning for NLP. I previously interned with Amazon Research and SAP , and helped build a search engine for lawyers at Codefy . As a commitment to open & reproducible research, I publish code repositories for my associated publications on Github .
This is the primary language used in most of my projects. I am a strong proponent of PEP-8 and function typing. On top, I am experienced in deploying and maintaining my own Python packages on PyPI.
I have extensive theoretical and practical knowledge of ML and its best practices. This ranges from exploratory data analysis and data pre-processing, to experimental design and evaluation, all the way to model training and deployment.
