    Research Tandems

    How does mathematics impact upon our society, and how can the teaching of mathematics be improved?

    For many people, words such as philosophy, history, and society aren’t necessarily those which first come to mind when thinking about mathematics.  Despite this mathematics has had and continues to have a big impact on society. Prof. Dr. Gregor Nickel and Prof. Dr. András Bátkai are using an international research cooperation to regularly visit one another’s institutions to better understand these impacts.

    Research Alumni Portraits

    Prof. Dr. Abdelhadi Soudi, Ecole Nationale Superieure des Mines, Morocco: My research is focused on natural language processing, a branch of Artificial Intelligence, that tries to create tools for processing human languages for diverse applications, such as Machine Translation, Question Answering and Information Retrieval systems, to name but a few. What we try to do is to get computers use human languages in the same way (or better than how) humans use them. Click here to read more.
