David Mimno is an Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Information Science at Cornell University. He holds a PhD from the University of Massachusetts Amherst and previously worked at the Perseus Project and Princeton University. His research focuses on computational social science, natural language processing, and historical text analysis. Mimno is known for developing the MALLET toolkit, a widely used Java-based platform for machine learning in text processing. He teaches courses such as INFO 4940: How LLMs Work and INFO 6150/CS 6788: Advanced Topic Modeling. His work has been supported by the Sloan Foundation, NEH, and NSF. Mimno advises PhD students in Information Science and Computer Science, emphasizing interdisciplinary research at the intersection of computing and humanities/social sciences. He also contributes to initiatives like AI for Humanists, making large language models accessible for text-as-data research. Bachelor’s degree: Not explicitly stated in text PhD: University of Massachusetts Amherst Research Interests: Mimno explores large language models, topic modeling, cross-lingual semantics, and ethical AI applications in humanities and legal domains. His recent work addresses data curation practices for language models, LLM memorization of poetry, and generative AI’s societal impacts. He co-authored reports on generative AI in academic research and education. Grants & Collaborations: His projects include the Text as Data (TADA) conference and collaborations on generative AI law workshops. Mimno’s MALLET toolkit supports document classification, clustering, and topic modeling, with applications in cultural analytics and computational historiography.
