Hi, I'm Jacob Fisher πŸ‘‹

MA Linguistics candidate at Brigham Young University (graduating April 2026), with a focus on computational linguistics, NLP, and machine learning. I enjoy working at the intersection of language and data β€” whether that means fine-tuning translation models for low-resource languages or building statistical pipelines in R and Python.

Skills & tools I work with:

  • 🐍 Python & R β€” data wrangling, statistical modeling, scripting
  • πŸ€– NLP & ML β€” Hugging Face Transformers, PyTorch, scikit-learn, sequence modeling
  • πŸ“Š Statistical Modeling β€” regression (OLS, GLMs, mixed models), model selection, hypothesis testing
  • πŸ”’ Data Analysis β€” pandas, tidyverse, visualization, experimental design

Current work: My thesis investigates low-resource machine translation for Georgian (αƒ₯αƒαƒ αƒ—αƒ£αƒšαƒ˜), comparing fine-tuned NLLB-200 and curriculum-pretrained LLaMA 3.2 models evaluated with COMET.

I'm actively looking for roles in Data Science, Data Engineering, Data Analysis, Business Analysis, or AI/ML Engineering where I can apply my background in language, modeling, and software to real-world problems.
