I'm a PhD Candidate studying the intersection of corpus phonetics, machine learning, and phonology. At heart, I'm an acoustic phonetician with an interest in improving our models of speech production. Through study of social and linguistic variables, we can identify stable patterns of variation relevant to computational goals like statistical modeling, automatic speech recognition, and the creation of linguistic corpora. However, these patterns…

Kyle Vanderniet presents talk at Emory University

Linguistics graduate student, Kyle Vanderniet, will present a talk about his work at Emory University May 20th, at 3pm in Modern Languages, Room 201. Abstract: Text corpora are the predominant tool used by linguistics to study language. However, because they are comprised chiefly of written sources, they present a problem when exploring natural, authentic language use. I will present my results showing how Reddit can enable linguists to build…
