I'm a PhD student applying NLP, programming, statistics and machine learning to Ancient Greek. I'm currently fooling around with using Bayesian data analysis for author attribution and topic modelling of fragmentary papyri and imputations for them. ML models and datasets are open-sourced on my HuggingFace profile.
- Programming: Python, torch, R, Stan
- Machine Learning: Bayesian MCMC, author attribution, topic modelling
- 5 Academic Degrees: Ancient Greek philology (MA & BA), philosophy of science (MA & BA), musicology (BA), theoretical physics and mathematics (first two years of the BA)
