”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 applying NLP, programming, statistics and machine learning to Ancient Greek. My current work spans from training BERT classifiers for prosody to corpus studies of the relationship between song lyrics and melody. I'm currently fooling around with using Bayesian data analysis for author attribution. 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
• 5,5 Academic Degrees: Ancient Greek philology (MA & BA), philosophy of science (MA & BA), musicology (BA), theoretical physics and mathematics (first two years of the BA)
