Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolAdam Anderson is a scholar-founder who blends 13 years of expertise in Near Eastern philology, archaeology, and computational linguistics to model social and economic networks from cuneiform corpora. As Co-Founder of TokenWorks and Research Director of the FactGrid Cuneiform Project, he turns NLP and machine learning research into deployable tools and open knowledge graphs for low-resource, ancient languages. His research at UC Berkeley and Harvard applies geospatial network analysis to trace people, commodities, and institutional hierarchies across Bronze Age (2100–1800 BCE) archives of roughly 100,000 tablets. He uniquely fuses classical philological methods with scalable computational pipelines to disambiguate actors, cliques, and place‑relations in fragmented archaeological texts. Based in Saint Augustine, he operates at the intersection of academic rigor and product-driven research, making specialist datasets accessible for broader computational study. An uncommon strength is his ability to translate deep domain expertise in Assyriology into practical ontologies and tools that support both humanities scholars and applied AI workflows.
