Jump to: [ News | Publications | Teaching | Resume | Contact ]

Hello there! My name is Mike Zhang. I'm a PhD Student at the IT University of Copenhagen under supervision of Prof. Barbara Plank. We are part of the NLPnorth research unit. My main focus is on Information Extraction from job postings. I'm particularly interested in the shift of necessary occupational skills in the labor market over time. My other interests include tricks and approaches to get more labeled training data and/or exploit models for tasks with limited data — this includes Active Learning, Weak Supervision, and (more recently) Transfer Learning.
