Sebastian Kempf

Sebastian Kempf is a researcher at the Chair of Computer Science VI (Artificial Intelligence and Knowledge Systems) within the Institute of Computer Science at the University of Würzburg's Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science. He has been working at the chair since October 2021, focusing on information extraction, particularly table extraction and analysis, as well as ontology-based knowledge extraction.

His research spans Information Extraction, Table Extraction, Ontology Generation, Document Analysis, Data Mining, and Knowledge Modeling. These areas drive his development of systems for transforming unstructured and semi-structured data into actionable knowledge, with applications across scientific, industrial, and humanities domains.

Publications reveal a consistent trajectory in applying AI to interdisciplinary challenges—from materials science (glass development) to digital humanities (literary analysis) and scientific document processing. His work emphasizes practical AI solutions that bridge theoretical frameworks with real-world data complexities.

Kempf actively contributes to teaching through Software Engineering courses (Summer Semesters 2022-2024), Medical Image Processing (Winter Semester 2024/25), and regular supervision of seminar topics and software internships. His project portfolio includes current work on PlastiKG and past involvement in ESF-BuDanu.

As a core member of the Center for Artificial Intelligence and Data Science (CAIDAS), he collaborates across Würzburg's AI research ecosystem, leveraging university-wide resources for ontology-driven data infrastructure and knowledge systems development.
