✍️ Our paper is finally out!
All poetic forms come from somewhere, but figuring out their relationships is hard.
We use sequence alignment on scansion (010.10) to measure metrical similarity between poems. This allows us to detect related forms across languages and times 1/

“students are often unhappy with math, because they think it requires some innate things that they don’t have. But that’s not true; really it relies on the same type of intuition we use every day.”
I couldn’t agree more. Looks like a great book.
