Bridging Gaps in Research and Public Health: CSTE Conference Takeaways

A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to attend the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) Annual Conference right here in Pittsburgh! Getting involved with CSTE this past year, especially through the forecasting and modeling workgroup calls, has been incredibly rewarding, and it was great to see some familiar faces in person.

Shiftview, GPT2 for Moral Reframing

Deploying the Shiftview repo on Google Cloud creates a website that highlights my work on ShiftView, an ideological transformer based on the moral foundations theory. You can find a light demo of the work in the sidebar. Please be patient as the translations require time to generate. Additionally, because some of the data is uncensored, there may be cursing and confusing speech. I am not repsonsible for the translations generated. In its current state, ShiftView is simply a guide for what is possible with automated moral reframing.

Fulbright 2019-2020 Recap & Notes

In 2019-2020, I was a Fulbright research student in Singapore. I kept a weekly blog (formerly called bitsvbytes because I was using ML techniques to reduce mosquito bites) that turned into a daily blog at the start of COVID. Unfortunately, I kept my blog (with all my writing, pictures, models, and demos for Buzznet) on Heroku (with a Heroku database) with the hope of eventually restarting the service once I could shrink the footprint (and the cost) of hosting this resource.
