In episode 23 we talk with David Mimno of Cornell University about his work in the digital humanities, and explore what machine learning can tell us about lady zombie ghosts and huge bodies of literature. Ryan introduces us to probabilistic programming and we take a listener question about knowledge transfer between math and machine learning.
