Biography

Sven Giesselbach is the leader of the Natural Language Understanding (NLU) team at the Fraunhofer Institute for Intelligent Analysis and Information Systems (IAIS). His team develops solutions in the areas of medical, legal and general document understanding which in their core build upon (large) pre-trained language models. Sven Giesselbach is also part of the Lamarr Institute and the OpenGPT-X project in which he investigates various aspects of Foundation Models. Based on his project experience of more than 25 natural language understanding projects he studies the effect of Foundation Models on the execution of Natural Language Understanding projects and the novel challenges and requirements which arise with them. He has published several papers on Natural Language Processing and Understanding, which focus on the creation of application-ready NLU systems and the integration of expert knowledge in various stages of the solution design. Most recently he co-authored a book on “Foundation Models for Natural Language Processing – Pre-trained Language Models Integrating Media” which will be published by Springer Nature.
