Dr. Michael Miller Yoder is a postdoctoral researcher at the Collaboratory Against Hate and the Center for Informed Democracy and Social Cybersecurity at Carnegie Mellon University. His research focuses on computational approaches to countering hate and extremism, such as automated hate speech detection and network analysis of social media data. With colleagues at the Collaboratory Against Hate, he also investigates how academic research can best support the work of practitioners working against hate and extremism.
Before working with the Collaboratory Against Hate, he completed a Ph.D. at the Language Technologies Institute in Carnegie Mellon University’s School of Computer Science.
The effort to eradicate hate requires the active participation of every component of our society, to include governments, the private sector, communities of faith and indeed every aspect of civil society. There is no more urgent task in front of us. The organizers of the Eradicate Hate Global Summit are doing the United States and the world an enormous service by tackling hatred and extremism with a focus on honest dialogue and conversation, genuine learning and practical solutions. This will not happen overnight, but the Pittsburgh community’s leadership in this effort is genuinely inspiring and motivating.
