Dr. Sean Papay

Dr. Sean Papay is a Post-doc working under Professor Roman Klinger in the NLP group at the University of Bamberg.
His research interests center around machine learning with structured outputs, and techniques for incorporating a priori knowledge of output structures into models.Specific directions include research into task-general relation extraction, and constrained sampling from generative models.


Before arriving at the University of Bamberg, Dr. Papay studied as a doctoral candidate at the University of Stuttgart under Professor Sebastian Padó.
