David Strohmaier

I am David Strohmaier, a computer scientist and philosopher. Currently, I work as a research associate in the Natural Language and Information Processing (NLIP) group at the University of Cambridge.

My research applies machine/deep learning to lexical semantic acquisition. How do neural models learn the meaning of words and to what extent does that reflect our own learning processes?

I am a PhD student at Jesus College. My training is mathematical, but the main work I do with my supervisor Fermín Moscoso del Prado Martín is in mathematical linguistics. Please see my page on the Computer lab website for my non-linguistic interests.
