A friend of Henry's
The guy at DreamSongs.com is a Distinguished Engineer at Sun Microsystems and his first manuscript of poems (available as PDF) was a finalist for the National Poetry Series. Here's the last stanza of his poem "Unnormalized Models":Second, we derive an equivalence
between the well-known
technique of boosting and maximum
likelihood of exponential
models. The idea of
unnormalized models plays
a key role.
I'm not endorsing the use of computer science theory in poems, it's just kind of weird.
