I have written and been quoted in a number of pieces related to AI ethics and applications of NLP systems.

My research has been discussed in many publications, including The Economist and The Atlantic. If you’re a reporter, I’m always happy to chat about my research, natural language procesing of data science in general. You can find my contact information in the left sidebar.
