  • Topic modelling for non-ML folks and privacy in text

    Join Rachael as she chats with Xanda Schofield, assistant professor at Harvey Mudd College, about  topic modelling tools for folks outside of machine learning, building conversational AI that works for everyone and preserving privacy in text data.

    More resources from Dr. Schofield:

    • On LDA tools: our project for figuring out LDA tools is based on a web project called jsLDA (https://mimno.infosci.cornell.edu/jsLDA/) started by Prof. David Mimno that gives a simple UI and tutorialization for LDA. The new version is still in the works, but for more on what we're doing, you can check out this video from West Coast NLP 2020: https://youtu.be/wuGcGIKzSoU 
    • On privacy: Dr. Latanya Sweeney has a lot of practical resources available for asking questions and testing out notions of privacy at http://latanyasweeney.org, including a simulator of the "age, gender, zip code" test I described at https://aboutmyinfo.org.
