Xanda Schofield is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Harvey Mudd College. Her work focuses on the practical aspects of using distributional semantic models for analysis of real-world datasets, with problems ranging from understanding the consequences of data pre-processing on model inference to enforcing text privacy for these models. She also is interested in pedagogy at this intersection, having co-developed a Text Mining for History and Literature course at Cornell University with David Mimno. She is currently focusing pedagogical efforts on how to introduce considerations of ethics and bias into other courses such as Algorithms.
