Michael Hagmann, Dr. phil.

I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Prof. Riezler’s StatNLP group. My current research focus is the systematic generation of synthetic time series data to improve algorithm perfromance and privacy preservation. I am also interested in the the application and adapation of empirical methods for the analysis of machine learning experiments.
