Gilbert appointed visiting instructor at Clarkson University

Posted

POTSDAM – Michael Gilbert has been appointed Visiting Instructor in Clarkson University's Applied Data Science Master’s program. Gilbert will teach machine learning and natural language processing.

He joins Clarkson from the Mercatus Center at George Mason University, where he worked with the Policy Analytics Team, applying machine learning and artificial intelligence to analyze and aggregate federal and state statutes and regulations. A 2021 graduate of the same Applied Data Science program, Gilbert also has five years of experience in the banking industry, following his 2014 Bachelor’s degree in mathematics from Saint Michael’s College in Colchester, Vt.

In addition to teaching several existing MS-ADS courses, Gilbert has developed and is teaching a new course IA 653, Natural Language Processing, which focuses on fundamental methodologies and widely used toolkits beginning with basic processes for parsing and cleaning text data, moving to applying statistical/machine learning methods to text and finishing with deep learning and large language models, especially those using the transformer architecture.
