Angelie Kraft is a Research Group Lead and multidisciplinary AI researcher based in Hamburg with nine years of experience spanning AI, psychology, and computer science. She combines academic rigor—pursuing a doctorate in computer science—with applied work on language models, knowledge graphs, and AI ethics across institutes like Weizenbaum and Universität Hamburg. Angelie co-founded Adalab and contributes to open-source ML tooling (notably extending image encoding and visual-story features in the popular deep-daze CLIP-based repo), reflecting a hands-on approach to generative art and reinforcement learning. Her background in psychology and cognitive science informs a rare focus on societal biases and representativeness in benchmarks, and she actively shapes community engagement through interviews and summer schools. Colleagues value her ability to bridge interdisciplinary teams, translate ethical concerns into technical inquiry, and iterate on practical ML implementations.

Contributions summary:Angelie primarily focused on adding image encoding and custom encoding capabilities to the deep-daze project. They implemented methods for creating and setting CLIP encodings, including encoding images and averaging text and image embeddings. Furthermore, they introduced and refined the functionality for creating visual stories within the project, allowing for generating images for sliding windows of text. This included modifying and extending existing classes and methods related to the core deep-daze model.
