Sil Hamilton

I’m Sil. I’m a PhD student in Information Science at Cornell University studying under David Mimno and Matthew Wilkens.

What do I study? My goal is to sharpen intuitions on where humans and language models epistemologically diverge. My published research draws on narratology and model interpretability to investigate how LLMs capture cultural concepts in areas like jurisprudence, journalism, and storytelling.

I’m public! Wired, The Financial Times, and Le Devoir among others have all mentioned me or my work. I've also spoken for Harvard's CS50 (Introduction to Computer Science), the Nieman Foundation for Journalism, the Brown Institute for Media Innovation, and the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California.

I’m looking to collaborate. Reach out to me on Twitter, over email, and through LinkedIn. I’m also on Libera and OFTC as srhm.
