Nov 2026 I am giving three talks at the Joint Mathematics Meetings in Chicago, January 14–15, 2027:
  • “Curvature corrects contextual embeddings: Ollivier–Ricci flow on the hypersphere and the categorical–continuous structure of word meaning”;
  • “Ungrading measure-theoretic probability: weekly reports, portfolios, and self-assigned grades in an upper-division course”;
  • “Stabilizer codes and entropies associated with orbits of finite groups”.
Oct 2026 New preprint with Jennifer Cole: Steering intonational tunes in text-to-speech synthesis. The code is public.
Aug 2026 New preprint: Representation of syntax in LLMs through the lens of linear distance and similarity-aware entropy, with Mary Kennedy, Khalil Iskarous, Robert Frank and Matilde Marcolli.
May 2026 I presented Probing neural audio codecs for distinctions among English nuclear tunes (with Jennifer Cole) at Speech Prosody 2026 in Philadelphia.
May 2026 Gave an invited talk on the geometry of syntax processing in transformer language models at the conference Geometry, topology and machine learning, Sorbonne Université, Paris.
Dec 2025 New preprint with two Caltech undergraduates, Ryan Leal and Jingtong Sun: Entropies associated with orbits of finite groups.
Jul 2025 I joined the Department of Linguistics at Northwestern University as a Research Associate, working with Jennifer Cole.
