Data scientist at The Router Company. PhD in statistics at iastate, ex Indiana U visiting Asst. Prof, focusing on statistical computing, specifically clustering and other unsupervised or semi-supervised problems.
I'm not particularly enthusiastic about gen AI but with the right use cases, or in something where I'm more concerned with measuring performance and optimizing than doing the plumbing, something where statistical/ML knowledge has a footing, I'm all in.
My research was in clustering and classification, and in graduate school I worked in the department's statistical consulting office so I have broad experience in traditional statistics as well. Lately I've been doing NLP in a network management/testing/troubleshooting context with some GenAI work.
looking at lapack routines, tag yourself, i'm dpotrf
all right #rstats if you need a statistician/data scientist/ML guy, today was my last day, so hit me up.
Paris MarxGoogle and Microsoft recently admitted their emissions are soaring as they build out data centers to power the AI boom.
But new analysis from The Guardian suggests the data center emissions of Google, Meta, Microsoft, and Apple are 662% higher than the companies reporting.

Anyway, if anybody needs a data scientist or statistician...
The way things are shuffling from the top in AI strategy doesn't inspire confidence, anybody need a statistical computing wallah?
Cindy SueThis is scary. Prosecuting librarians for having books on the shelves? What world do I live in?
And it's happening here in Michigan.

Microsoft released copilot in Excel, and it is officially caught up with Google on the AI race.
Fantastic to watch.
