On top of adopting the latest advancements in AI, TechWolf actively drives innovation through focused research efforts. Our research pushes the state-of-the-art in skills technology in collaboration with respected institutions like the University of Cambridge and Ghent University. In line with our transparency principle, we are actively engaged in the academic community. We do this by publishing a selection of our research, making this work accessible to others and showing that it meets the standards set by international, peer-reviewed venues. Below, we provide an overview of recent publications.
