Sebastian Wankerl

Sebastian Wankerl is a researcher at the Chair of Data Science (Informatics X) within the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of Würzburg. His work focuses on machine learning applications in mathematics education, natural language processing, and structured sentiment analysis. He collaborates with Prof. Andreas Hotho and other colleagues on projects involving pointer networks, cross-lingual models, and imbalanced data challenges.

• Key research areas: Mathematical reasoning, NLP, and deep learning
• Recent publications explore tree-structured pointer networks for axiom detection and cross-lingual sentiment analysis
• Active in ML explainability and multilingual model adaptation

His publications demonstrate expertise in adapting transformer architectures for specialized tasks while addressing overfitting challenges through novel regularization techniques.
