Top SchoolRosamond Thalken is a research scientist in AI/ML with eight years of experience bridging computational methods and humanities scholarship; currently at Apple after completing a PhD in Information Science at Cornell. Her work pairs large language models with domain-expert qualitative methods to study cultural history in legal and literary corpora, and she co-authored the second edition of Text Analysis With R. She has deep experience in personalization and recommendation systems from multiple AI/ML internships at Apple and brings a practised interdisciplinary lens from prior roles at Authors A.I. and the Nebraska Literary Lab.
