**p-Interact: Applying GPT-3 to Interactive Fiction** (Lead: Andy Liu HMC '23)
- Language models like GPT-3 have become very good at generating shorter sequences of text, but lose coherency and consistency over longer stretches, such as fiction.
- Goal: apply GPT-3 towards writing interactive fiction (stories where the reader can interact and influence the outcome).
- Work will include training GPT-3 to generate fiction, encoding information within GPT-3 prompts to maintain coherency, and evaluating model outputs.
- Ideal for those interested in computational creativity, working with GPT-3, and more applied ML projects.
**p-TCM: Bridging Traditional Chinese Medicine & Modern Nutritional Science** (Lead: Aaron Xie CMC '24)
- Use classification machine learning algorithms to associate modern nutritional science properties with the traditional Chinese medicine hot and cold classifications
- Gain familiarity with common elements of ML pipeline (eg. Data exploration, data cleaning, visualization)
- Train models using Logistic Regression, SVM, KNN, Decision Tree and more; tune and compare their accuracy
- See how ML is used as an analysis tool in science research
- Possible opportunity to collaborate with researchers in the nutritional science field to write it up and submit to journal (depending on results and quality of analysis)
**p-Climate: Reconstructing Climate Signals from Natural Records** (Lead: Hannah Mandell PO '23)
- Use the skeletal and physical composition of natural records to peer into Earth's climate past
- Explore the efficacy of Neural Networks in a field that has long relied on linear statistical models
- Intersection of environmental science and artificial intelligence -- a rapidly expanding field of interest!
- Recreate Earth's historical temperature, so we can begin to predict and understand the future of climate
**p-Deepfake: Feature Extraction of Deepfake Images** (Lead: Danica Du HMC '23)
- Deepfakes are manipulated digital media where the likeness of one person in an image or video is replaced with that of another person — a growing problem in modern society because of how difficult it has become to detect with the naked eye!
- We’ll research feature extraction methods useful for deepfake image classification,
- Create a deepfake image dataset from existing benchmark deepfake video datasets,
