My name is Cuong Xuan Chu. I am a Research Engineer at Bosch Center for AI, Renningen, Germany. My research focuses on information extraction & knowledge acquisition and AI solutions over knowledge graphs. I completed my PhD in 2022 at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics, Saarbrücken, Germany. The focus of my PhD research was on Knowledge Extraction from Fictional Domains. Prior to my PhD, I did my Master at the International Max Planck Research Schools (IMPRS). My Master thesis is about Mining How-to Task Knowledge from Online Communities.

My hobby is badminton. I had played some district-level leauges when I was in Saarbruecken, but mostly for fun.
