Hello! I'm Mackenzie.

(she/her)

I am a Master student in Information Management and Systems at the iSchool at UC Berkeley. At Berkeley, I've been working at Bancroft Library and have been researching in the field of cultural analytics, advised by David Bamman. I am interested in topics related to computational social science, digital scholarship, and digital humanities.

Currently, I'm a TA for Data 102. I've done work promoting equity in education, working as a student advisor in making Ethnic Studies Curriculum for Sonoma County. I was lucky enough to be data analytics intern The Institute for Youth in Policy and more recently, I've interned for companies like Emotect AI and Evolent Health .

I also studied abroad at Yonsei University in South Korea! I worked at the Barun ICT Research Center as an intern.

Publications

Speak, Memory: An Archaeology of Books Known to ChatGPT/GPT-4
Kent K. Chang, Sandeep Soni, David Bamman, Mackenzie Cramer

In this work, we carry out a data archaeology to infer books that are known to ChatGPT and GPT-4 using a name cloze membership inference query. arXiv preprint.

Multimodal Conversation Structure Understanding
Kent K. Chang, Anna Ho, Ti Ti Nguyen, Yilin Yuan, David Bamman, Mackenzie Cramer

We introduce a suite of tasks focused on conversational role attribution (speaker, addressees, side-participants) and conversation threading (utterance linking and clustering), drawing on conversation analysis and sociolinguistics. To support those tasks, we present a human annotated dataset of 4,398 annotations for speakers and reply-to relationship, 5,755 addressees, and 3,142 side-participants. arXiv preprint.

Some Background

I'm a NorCal native (I am disappointed about the A's leaving).
Although I don't have one, I love dogs, chickens, and most other animals.
I'm always open to talk and love to get music, travel, and food recs!
I played piano and clarinet, but I'm very rusty so keep expectations low.
