Benedikt Kantz

A bit about me

I am a computer science researcher and software developer from Austria. I love to cook, eat great food, and balance it out by running afterwards :)

My research interests include information retrieval, explainable artificial intelligence, and machine learning. I am currently pursuing my PhD at the Graz University of Technology in the Doctoral School of Computer Science.
