PhD candidate, University of California, Berkeley. Natural language processing & cultural analytics.
Never thought this day would come. We're officially past the midpoint of the semester, and the students who are brave enough to stay in my sometimes crazy—but always radical—interdisciplinary experiment are now submitting their final project proposals. We've covered a lot of ground in just 7 weeks!

It just hit me. I gave the first lecture of the class I designed from scratch today. And there were not enough seats in the classroom!

Watched Michael Lannan and Andrew Haigh’s Looking again over a couple of weekends. The first time I watched it I was contemplating whether to go to Berkeley for grad school, and indeed I took that t-shirt Jonathan Groff wore in episode 2 (with the Cal logo on it) as a sign.

Great read! "The limits of Interdisciplinarity" resonated with me the most. AI has the potential to make the articulation of critical sensibility more concrete and robust, but there are troubling trends, both in academia and politics, that do make me wonder if this conversation can be sustained.
add a skeleton here at some point

Recently, though rather belatedly, I decided to give The Office another go, after seeing the great John Krasinski in Angry Alan off-Broadway. Five seasons in I know that I shall remain, in spirit at least, a lifelong resident of Scranton, PA (Stars Hollow, CT is probably just a short drive away).

My course proposal for Cultural Analytics
@berkeleyischool.bsky.social
has been approved for Fall 2025! This is the fullest expression of my vision for CA: a radical interdisciplinary experiment for rethinking knowledge production at the intersection of the humanities and machine learning. (1/9)

Just came back from Happy Pleasant Valley (TheatreWorks Silicon Valley) and still hyped. Dear Evan Hansen meets A Man on the Inside with Mrs. Kim from Gilmore Girls taking the stage to sing her heart out. Defies expectations on all counts, originality definitely puts Broadway to shame.

Last stop in Denmark -- had a blast in Copenhagen, despite operating on only 3 hours of sleep.
@mariaa.bsky.social
handles every detail with such grace and
@arnicas.bsky.social
gave a wonderful talk that really shows me how much farther applied NLP can go, from learning and pedagogy to game design.

That's a wrap at
#CHR2024
! I'll need some time to reflect and regroup (and learn how to use bluesky)-- just wanted to take a moment to thank all my friends, old & new. Even on day 3, people were still approaching me with great feedback and kind words about my work. It's a community filled with love!

Amazing talk by
@kentkchang.bsky.social
. Too many interesting themes to try to summarize, but please check out his recent work on subversive narratives, television, suspicious readers, models at odds with the truth, and the "queer gap in the cultural analytics."
