Christopher Bagdon

Christopher Bagdon is a PHD researcher working on the ITEM Project, investigating multi-modal emotion analysis. He studied Computational Linguistics first at the University of Tübingen, where he focused on hate speech detection. He then continued studying Computational Linguistics at the University of Stuttgart, shifting his focus to emotion analysis and automated annotation using Best-worst Scaling. Before beginning his studies in Germany he was an English teacher in Japan.
