that you could be doingDetecting and Mitigating AI Blindspots
AI blindspots refer to limitations or shortcomings in artificial intelligence systems that can lead to unexpected errors, biases, or failures. These blindspots can arise from various factors, including the data used to train the AI, the algorithms employed, and the inherent complexities of the real world. Addressing AI blindspots requires rigorous testing, diverse and representative training data, ongoing monitoring, and a commitment to ethical AI practices. Researchers and developers are improving AI robustness and mitigating these blindspots to create more reliable and trustworthy AI systems.Quantifying Inequitable Access to Election Polling Sites
Improving equitable access to community resources such as voting sites is an important first step towards addressing the needs of underrepresented populations. This project will focus on the precise quantification of inequitable access to voting booths and the automated identification of electoral ``deserts`` using real-world maps of polling coverage. The technique employed will be topological data analysis (in particular, persistent homology), a mathematical framework for detecting ``holes`` in a network or a cloud of data points.Detecting Cardiac Arrhythmias’
Are you passionate about making a real-world impact through technology? Our winter cohort will embark on a groundbreaking project to develop an AI-powered solution for detecting Atrial Fibrillation - the most common cardiac arrhythmia affecting seniors. This isn't just a learning project; it's an opportunity to potentially save lives. Senior citizens, especially those from underserved communities, face significant challenges in accessing healthcare. Our focus? To utilize AI for remote monitoring, thus drastically improving their quality of life. You'll delve into advanced techniques like Shannon entropy, k-nearest neighbors, support vector machines, and various signal processing methods.Personality Detection for AI Systems
The proposed project aims to develop a robust framework for detecting and characterizing the personality traits of Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems. Understanding the personality of AI is crucial for enhancing user interaction, trust, and the overall user experience. This project will explore methods to assess and categorize AI personalities, facilitating the development of more personalized and adaptive AI systems.Next Cohort Applications Open!!

Project 2: Analyzing Building Architecture with Computer Vision
The objective of the project was to apply Computer Vision Machine Learning tools in Artificial Intelligence to analyze and classify Buildings based on their architectural features.
Project 3: Building an AI Model for Depolarization
The objective of this project was to develop an AI model using LLM (Language and Learning Models) techniques to address depolarization. The model aimed to analyze and understand polarizing language patterns, detect potential sources of polarization, and suggest strategies for promoting dialogue and understanding.
Project 4: Building an ML Classification Model for Knee MRI to help doctors with diagnosis
The objective of this project was to build a Machine Learning Classification Model to predict if a Knee had an ACL or Meniscal Tear based on an MRI image. This model could be used for an app to give a second opinion to a doctor as they evaluate a patient's Knee MRI to help prevent misdiagnosing.
