Carolyn Jane Anderson is an assistant professor in Computer Science at Wellesley College.
Her research interests lie in the intersection of computation and language. Within computer science, her work focuses on the evaluation of large language models for natural language and code generation. Within linguistics, her research explores how context-sensitive meaning is encoded in language using a variety of methods, including Bayesian modeling, psycholinguistic experiments, and machine learning. She received a PhD in Linguistics from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst in 2021. Before that, she studied technology for language revitalization as a Fulbright Canada scholar.
