Prof. Günter Neumann is a Professor of Computational Linguistics at Saarland University and a Research Fellow at the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI). He has over 30 years of experience in research software development, with a focus on language technology, information extraction, and question answering systems.

• PhD in Computer Science (1994) and Venia Legendi in Computational Linguistics (2004) from Saarland University
• Visiting researcher at Stanford, CMU, and MIT

His research spans computational linguistics, artificial intelligence, and their applications in defence, healthcare, and education. He leads projects like AtLaS (AI-based NLP for low-quality data in defence), PRECISE4Q (predictive modeling in stroke medicine), and iREAD (personalized reading apps).

Recent publications focus on low-resource language retrieval, cross-lingual transfer, and graph-based reasoning in biomedical domains. He has participated in numerous program committees (ACL, AAAI, LREC) and contributed to advancements in multilingual question answering, knowledge graph reasoning, and medical text de-identification.

He has collaborated with institutions like Fondazione Bruno Kessler, econob, and NICE Systems. Current tools developed with his team power semantic search services for Informationsdienst Wissenschaft and the Deutsche Allianz Meeresforschung portal.
