Summary
Adriaan Lemmens is an AI lead and former doctoral researcher with a decade of hands-on experience building NLP systems and bridging neural methods with linguistic theory. With dual MAs in Linguistics and an MSc in AI (cum laude) from KU Leuven, he probes transformer models for latent linguistic structure while shipping user-friendly text analytics tools for humanities and social-science researchers. He has led NLP teams across startups and consultancies, taking ownership of search and backend systems and mentoring engineers and interns. Based in Leuven, he balances rigorous academic inquiry with product-focused engineering at Klassif.ai, and still finds time to prototype quirky side projects—great to approach for collaborations that mix linguistics, ML, and practical software.
