Jeremy G. Kahn has a PhD in computational linguistics, with a focus on information-theoretic and empirical engineering approaches to dealing with natural language (in text and speech). He’s gregarious, polyglot, a semi-auto-didact, and occasionally prolix.
Yes, he does like big words. And the third person.
He also likes comic books, coffee, progressive politics, information theory, lateral thinking, science fiction, science fact, linear thinking, bicycles, beer, meditation, love, play, and inquiry.
He lives in Seattle with his wife Dorothy.

Hello Jeremy, I am a recently-admitted sociolinguistics grad student at Old Dominion. I am interested in developing a computational focus during my studies as I believe my degree plan is flexible enough to accommodate both interests and corresponding coursework. Given your high profile and standing as a computational linguist, I was wondering if you wouldn’t mind advising an up-and-comer.
Best,
Johnny Michael
Mr. Michaels,
I am flattered by the request! I’m not sure what kind of advice you seek, but perhaps I can help.
Please feel free to contact me by email (jeremy at this domain) with more specifics.
