Add to Calendar 2025-02-12 11:00:00 2025-02-12 13:00:00 CSC Workshop: Phylogenetic Analysis of Linguistic Data: Visualization of Words as Sound Sequences The presentation will discuss aspects of phylogenetic analysis and how it is applied to linguistic data including the algorithms used to create, optimize, and search for phylogenetic graphs. The use case will be Indo-European languages. The visualization tool allows users to explore alternate hypotheses of linguistic evolution and their impact on comparative optimality scores. No prior coding knowledge needed. This workshop is taught by Ward Wheeler (Curator, AMNH Science Computing Facility; Professor, Richard Gilder Graduate School). This workshop is planned to take place in-person only (Milstein 516). We look forward to seeing you there!
