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 Summit was more than empty words – it made clear that a solution-driven approach is the only way to fight hate. That’s why the working group activities, which are results driven are going to be critical in defeating violent extremism. The Summit brought together the best minds in government, private sector, academia, and civil society. Being surrounded by these experts sparked new ideas – some of which I’ve already implemented or have written about.
