Research area
Niklas Stoehr's interdisciplinary research practice aims at quantifying latent intensity concepts. Combining methods from Natural Language Processing, Computational Social Science and Network Science, his interests are particularly centred around numbers in text, conflict intensity and sentiment analysis.
Niklas Stoehr is pursuing a PhD at the Institute for Machine Learning at ETH Zurich, advised by Ryan Cotterell and Robert West at EPFL and Aaron Schein at the University of Chicago. He focuses on building tools for measuring socio-political latent concepts in text such as sentiment, stance or conflict intensity. During his PhD, he spent time at Google in Mountain View and Bloomberg in New York. After completing his Master's degree in Data Science at UCL, he interned at Microsoft Research Cambridge and worked full-time at the IBM AI Core Team. During his Bachelor's degree in Information Management Systems at TU Berlin, Niklas spent 6 months as a research assistant at the University of Oxford, 12 months as a language exchange student at Tsinghua University in Beijing and 3 months as an intern at the German Federal Foreign Office in Shanghai, thanks to generous funding by the German Academic Scholarship Foundation (Studienstiftung).
