Morgan Evans '17Morgan Evans is a PhD student at the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University, researching natural language processing on privacy policies. She published and presented a portion of her Senior Project, "An Evaluation of Constituency-based Hyponymy Extraction from Privacy Policies," at IEEE's 25th International Requirements Engineering Conference in Lisbon, Portugal. While a student at Bard, she was a research assistant in the Memory Dynamics Lab and a student fellow at the Hannah Arendt Center for Politics and Humanities. -
Steven Wu '12After studying math and computer science at Bard, Steven went on to get a Ph.D. in computer science from the University of Pennsylvania in 2017. He is now an Assistant Professor in the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University. His research focuses on (1) how to make machine learning better aligned with societal values, especially privacy and fairness, and (2) how social and economic dynamics, such as strategic interactions, influence machine learning.
