Background
I've spent time in both the sciences and the humanities. My primary interest is in what makes human beings produce poetry. I like to use text-processing tools like perl, sed and awk to solve problems, but I also have some experience with GIS and remote sensing.
When I had free time, I often spent it reading Lawrence Durrell and Flann O'Brien, and otherwise in general indolence.
Digital interests
My current project is an examination of the Homeric epos using authorship attribution methods. I've compared the Iliad to the Odyssey using a feature sets composed of n-grams at the phoneme level and classification with machine learning techniques. I'd like to look more closely at each poem to try to pick apart intrapoem heterogeneity. My goal is to be able to tie quantifiable observations to current oral-formulaic theory (particularly theory from a cognitive angle). I'm also interested in the role of the Internet in independent and amateur Classics scholarship.
