Hi there! My name is Julia and I am a Machine Learning Research Engineer at Diffbot.
Born and raised in Vienna, Austria, I moved to London to study Business. While I enjoyed my degree, I realized I was much more interested in technology, so I taught myself enough coding and math to qualify for a Masters degree in Computer Science at University College London (UCL). I recently finished my PhD at the University of Oxford, primarily developing new methods for machine learning-based web data extraction which can extract data from new pages at scale and without site-level supervision. My research interests widely overlap with Diffbot’s work, so I interned here last summer building the EventsAPI. The EventsAPI is a new addition to the Automatic API’s, which automatically extracts events from the open web. This allows events to be added to the Diffbot Knowledge Graph and customers to use the API directly. Now as an excited full timer, I am focusing on improving and expanding the Automatic API extraction methods.
In my free time I love all sorts of sports, such as cycling, skiing, hiking, and running.
I look forward to more adventures at Diffbot!
