Dr. Michael A. Hedderich
I’m a post-doc researcher in machine learning, natural language processing and human-computer interaction at Cornell University. My research goal is to make building AI systems more accessible and to open up machine learning to more fields and domains. I’m both interested in developing new technology as well as building bridges from AI to other interested fields. To this end, I’m working on both foundational methods in AI as well as applications in fields ranging from archeology to medical research.
