Sami Nenno
Sami Nenno is a researcher in the Public Interest AI research project at HIIG. His research focuses on disinformation. He is doing his PhD in communication sciences. The aim of his dissertation is to build a software tool that supports fact checkers in their work. To this end, he is researching overarching themes and aspects of disinformation in Germany and is trying to detect them automatically using Natural Language Processing. Sami also researches sustainable AI and the question of how large the carbon footprint of machine learning is and how it can be reduced.
Sami did his Master’s in Data Science at the Berlin University of Applied Sciences. Before that, he studied philosophy at the University of Vienna (B.A.) and at Humboldt University Berlin (M.A.) and worked as an analyst for a media monitoring company.
