Music, language and AI are three subjects that fascinate me. I play the violin, have a background in Linguistics and work on improving Conversational AI language models. In my blog, I share my thoughts and insights on these topics.

01

For centuries, people have been making music, from classical and rock to indie and pop. But what actually makes music good? And is creativity essential for this?

02

We use language to communicate, but reproducing language is not the same as understanding language. Do we really need understanding to communicate?

03

AI

Artificial intelligence is all around us today. It offers enormous opportunities, but also has drawbacks. How can you use AI in the right way?

I’m Veerle! Being creative, learning and puzzling – that’s what I enjoy, both in my free time and in my work.

I currently work as a Conversational AI NLU Specialist and have a lot of knowledge about AI and Large Language Models. Wondering what exactly my job entails and how I got into this field?

How does Spotify know what music you like? And why do you always have to do a reCAPTCHA task or check a checkbox? You can read this and more in my blog.
