There are three dominant criteria for addressing grand challenges: Knowledge, Multi-stakeholder Collaboration, and Citizen Co-creation. In my research, I investigate methods for collaborative ontology and knowledge engineering, information extraction at different levels of granularity, and application design for intuitive human-machine interaction and effective facilitation of human reasoning and decision making.
AI & Smallholder Farming
Within a GIZ and SDG funded project called "AgriPath" we utilize smart technologies to bring personalized, context-relevant solutions for sustainable agriculture directly to farmers’ smartphones. We develop and test tools together with local farmers and developers to serve the conditions met in rural areas as model predictions and recommendations need to translate into results that farmers of all literacy levels can use to make better decisions about their crops. A special focus lies on how to introduce bottom-up knowledge generation and sharing through digital pathways.
