Building a Fake Amazon Review Detector

The image above was created using AI. More specifically, this was the first image generated by Runway, when given the prompt “Amazon Fake Review Detector”. For my final project in my Applied AI in Python course, I wanted to address a real-world issue that is extremely prevalent today. In recent years, fake reviews have emerged…
[Paper] From Consonants to Curses: An Inspection of Approximants and Swearing Patterns

This summer, for my final project of LING-S101, I wrote a paper about phonological patterns in swearing and cursing throughout multiple languages, which I have attached to this blog post. My LING-S101 professor reviewed it and seemed to have enjoyed reading through it, so I hope you will too!
Creating Simple Linear Logistic Regression Models

The image above was created using AI. More specifically, this was the fourth image generated by Stable Diffusion, when given the prompt “Ice Cream Python Logistic Regression”. Somewhat recently, I wrote some code for a Colab-assignment from my Applied AI in Python class, which I thought was pretty cool and was a good opportunity to…
Hyphen-Hacks 2023

Above, the slideshow my group presented at Hyphen-Hacks 2023 on September 29th is attached. For this post, I wanted to briefly record my experience at my very first hackathon. Honestly, coming into the hackathon, I didn’t know what to expect – I had never participated in any programming competitions, and so I walked into the…
CSCI S-80 @Harvard [Week 5: Neural Networks] (Extension)

The image above was created using AI. More specifically, this was the first image generated by Stable Diffusion, when given the prompt “Neural Networks Language”. Neural networks, which are also referred to as artificial neural networks or simulated neural networks, represent a specialized branch of machine learning (which is a specialized branch of AI), and…
CSCI S-80 @Harvard [Week 5: Neural Networks]

The image above was created using AI. More specifically, this was the fourth image generated by Stable Diffusion, when given the prompt “Neural Networks Harvard”. It’s almost been two weeks since the end of my CSCI S-80 class, so I felt that this would be a good time to talk about one of the most…
CSCI S-80 @Harvard [Week 4: Learning]

The image above was created using AI. More specifically, this was the first image generated by Stable Diffusion, when given the prompt “AI Nim Harvard”. Today officially marks the end of the fifth week of my participation in the Harvard Summer School Program. Since my last post on Minimax, there hasn’t been too much conceptual…
CSCI S-80 @Harvard [Week 0: Minimax]

The image above was created using AI. More specifically, this was the fourth image generated by Stable Diffusion, when given the prompt “Harvard AI”. Today officially marks the end of the second week of my participation in the Harvard Summer School Program. I therefore felt it appropriate to post about my experiences in my courses,…
How GPT-3 Works

The image above was created using AI. More specifically, this was the third image generated by Stable Diffusion, when given the prompt “How GPT3 Works”. It has now been half a year since ChatGPT took the internet and the world by storm, being an instant, highly controversial success. Hundreds of millions of users have reportedly…
Creating a Wordle Simulation

The above image was the second image generated by Stable Diffusion when inputted the prompt “Wordle Simulator”. Once again, it was only after I had established (and finished coding) my last strategy that I realized its flaws. I realized that only looking one level deep to find the optimal first word would result in a…
