Hi, I'm David Kartchner

I'm a PhD Student at Georgia Tech
I research natural language processing methods for extracting and synthesizing information from biomedical text to power applications in biomedicine, drug discovery and healthcare. My research at Georgia Tech focuses on semi-supervised learning and large language models (LLMs) text mining and information extraction with limited to no labeled data.
I currently work with Cassie Mitchell in the Laboratory for Pathology Dynamics. I previsouly completed a MS in Mathematics from Brigham Young University advised by Jeff Humpherys.
I have collaborated with scientists, developers, clinicians, and epidemiologists while working at Enveda Bioscienes, Facebook, GlaxoSmithKline, Recursion Pharmaceuticals, and Intermountain Healthcare.
