What would you say the main focus of your studies is on? Is this also the topic of your thesis? 12/4/2009 3:51:21 PM |

The best way to characterize what I'm doing currently is "machine learning / algorithms research aimed at discovering causal cascades/relations in the brain, using fMRI data". Pretty specific, I know, but the techniques can be applied to other problems too. fMRI time-series just have particular peculiarities that makes analysis tough (so do brains).
The topic of my thesis was conversational implicature, and was in formal/computational linguistics. It was an application of mathematical logic and computer science to problems in natural language (I'm a computer scientist/logician/mathematician by trade; sometimes I work on strange things).
And before anybody asks yes I get paid to do this, I'm no longer a graduate student.

I spend a lot of time cooking with my friends. Most of my friends live in the same neighborhood as me (not uncommon in Pittsburgh), so we see each other frequently and form a commune of sorts.
I'm really into music, especially hip hop. I spend an appreciable amount of time listening to hip hop.12/4/2009 3:56:37 PM |

You know, I was starting to like you up until the Pittsburgh part, but then you redeemed yourself a little bit with the hip hop comment. My Pandora station list is pretty much nothing but lillith fair music, seattle grunge/alternative, and underground hip hop. 12/4/2009 4:03:41 PM |

your field of study sounds intriguing to me (took a course in AI and one in "soft computing" [fuzzy logic, neural networks, genetic algorithms] and am generally interested in such things).
so what are your degrees in, and from which schools? 12/4/2009 5:07:52 PM |

I don't really have any questions, so I'll steal them from the blood donor questionnaire:
Are you a man who has ever, even once, had sex with another man? Have you ever exchanged money or drugs for sex? You gots that bovine spongiform encephalitis? 12/4/2009 5:14:06 PM |

Do we not call it BSE anymore when humans get it? Whatever. Bovine spongiform encephalitis is possibly even cooler sounding than "mad cow disease," and I'm using it. 12/4/2009 5:23:54 PM |

Neat. I like fuzzy-valued logic / set-theory, as you might imagine, since I work with probability measures all day.
Quote : | "so what are your degrees in, and from which schools?" |
B.S. computer science, NCSU B.S. philosophy, NCSU (yes, you can get a B.S. in philosophy -- concentration in logic) M.S. logic and computation, carnegie mellon university
Quote : | "Are you a man who has ever, even once, had sex with another man?" |
No although I don't see anything wrong with such a thing. Not my tastes.
Quote : | "Have you ever exchanged money or drugs for sex?" |
Hahahaha how liberal of a reading is this question intended to have?
Quote : | "You gots that bovine spongiform encephalitis?" |
Yes but only 190%.
