Robin Deits
Robin recently finished his PhD in robotics from MIT and is excited to have finally completed 23rd grade. He now works at Boston Dynamics, where he trains humanoid robots to do tricks. While at MIT, he helped to start the JuliaRobotics organization, dedicated to developing and promoting Julia tools to advance the field of robotics.
In his free time, he enjoys writing and solving puzzles, especially when he can figure out how to use Julia to solve them faster.

The Linguistics of Puzzles: Solving Cryptic Crosswords in Julia
Robin Deits
If you like using serious scientific tools to do silly things, then this talk is for you. Join me as I explore the intersection of computational linguistics, algorithm design, and machine learning in an effort to seriously overthink cryptic crossword clues.
