Andy Rueda

Also known as Andrew Rueda

As of May 2026, Andy Rueda is a forward-deployed engineer at Cohere. He moved from film and television production at New York University and a big-tech data analyst job into AI study at Brandeis, where he earned an MS in computational linguistics and worked as a research assistant. His research includes SeqScore, a toolkit for named entity recognition, and CoNLL#, a corrected test set for CoNLL-03 English error analysis; he received Brandeis's Aravind K. Joshi Award in 2024. In 2024, he competed on Survivor 47.

    A corrected CoNLL-03 test set

    He is first author of CoNLL# in 2024, introducing a corrected CoNLL-03 English test set and fine-grained error analysis of named entity recognition models.

  5. 2024

    An award for computational linguistics

    Brandeis gives him the Aravind K. Joshi Award in 2024 for outstanding achievement in computational linguistics.

  6. 2024

    Competing on Survivor 47
