- Regularly repeated presentation: The Bachelor program for Computational Linguistics at Heinrich Heine University Dusseldorf was introduced in October 2017. I regularly give presentations about our program for people interested in studying computational linguistics. One version of the slides for that talk is available here.
- December 2019: Invited talk at xHain Hackspace in Berlin, Germany. The event was part of a series called “Gespräch unter Bäumen” and I talked about bots and art with my co-presenter, Heike Seyffarth.

- June 2017: Talk at RheinJUG (Java User Group) about computational linguistics, titled Computerlinguistik = Sprachwissenschaft + Informatik + ???. The talk was held in German. A video of the talk is available here.
- November 2016: I spoke about Natural Language Processing and Bots at an Open Source workshop at Cambridge University. I talked about how the creative bot community profits from open source NLP libraries and also gives back to the community by creating more open source tools for others to use. Here’s a writeup of the things I said.
- June 2016: Presentation at WebWorker Ruhr about computational linguistics and bots, for an audience unfamiliar with but interested in the basics of the field of computational linguistics. My slides are available here (German).
- May 2016: 30-minute talk at the OpenTechSchool Meetup in Dortmund, titled “What’s wrong with bots?”. I gave an introduction to bot ethics and presented different points of view that you can take when talking about bots. I really enjoyed that event and the discussions with the other participants afterwards! My slides are available here.
