”They’re not poets but mere mechanics. Look at these collections of so-called verse. Three poems and sixty pages of operating instructions.”

I'm a PhD student (= geek) applying NLP, programming, statistics and machine learning to Ancient Greek. My main interest is prosody, verse, and the relationship between language and music, but I often find myself branching off into stylometry, semantics and beyond. Check out my HuggingFace profile for more on my ML work.

• Macronizing Ancient Greek

  • Two BERT-based models for Ancient Greek syllabification and macronization.

• Accent and melody in Aristophanes

  • Digital analysis of Aristophanes’ choral songs.

• Text-processing tools for Ancient Greek

  • Python functions for Ancient Greek not found elsewhere, such as reliable upper/lower case and handling of diacritics indicating vowel length.

• Programming: Python, pytorch, regex, XPath, Stan
• Machine Learning: semantic embeddings, classification, sentiment analysis
• Academic background: Ancient Greek philology (MA), theoretical philosophy (MA), musicology (BA), theoretical physics and mathematics (half a BA), a bit of Latin

From more to less proficient: Swedish, English, Thai, French, Spanish, Italian, German
