Adam Visokay

I am a Bellwether Postdoctoral Scholar at the University of California, Berkeley, supervised by Joshua Blumenstock. I recently completed my Ph.D. in Sociology at the University of Washington, co-advised by Sasha Johfre and Tyler McCormick. My research explores how to leverage computational methods and statistics to study social phenomena, typically motivated by questions in public health, economics, and sociology. I am particularly interested in how to perform valid inference using predictions from black box algorithms, and how to use language models in a way that is both transparent and socially grounded. My work has appeared at venues including EMNLP, COLM, and the ACL.
