Thanks for sharing. Cool to see someone from Aachen NLP group. I'll be visiting Aachen/Düsseldorf/Heidelberg area in spring. Do you know of any local ML meetups open to general (ML engineer/programmer) public?

Unfortunately, not really. We used to have some RWTH internal meetups, although that has been somewhat interrupted since Corona, and not really recovered afterwards.

Aachen has quite a few companies with activity on NLP or speech recognition, mostly due to my professor Hermann Ney. E.g. there is Apple, Amazon, Nuance, eBay. And lesser-known AppTek. And in Cologne, you have DeepL. In all those companies, you find many people from our group. And then, at the RWTH Aachen University, you have our NLP/speech group, and also the computer vision group.

Sounds like an "NLP valley" with Prof. Ney as Aachen's own Fred Terman :)
