Complex systems scientist · University of Graz

I take on contract and consulting work: recommender and ranking design, data science on large or awkward data, measurement, and applied work with language models.

Recommender and ranking.
Designing one, or auditing one you already run to find out what its objective selects for.
Measurement.
Construct definition, codebook development, human coding, and inter-rater agreement.
LLM labelling at scale.
Classification and annotation across corpora too large to read, validated against human coders on a stratified sample.
Data engineering.
Multilingual, malformed and very large sources turned into something a team can query, entity resolution included.
Knowledge graphs.
Ontology-driven extraction from text with entity normalisation and coverage checking, benchmarked against a public dataset.
Matching and allocation.
Assignment and allocation problems solved to optimality, with a review interface so a person can overrule the result.
Interpretability.
Mechanistic work on how a model arrives at its output, for when test-set performance is not enough to justify a decision.
