In this episode, Armaan and I interview Dr. Neil Heffernan, a professor at WPI specializing in AI/ML, specifically in the fields of education and personalized learning. We go into depth about recent developments in AI research, especially LLMs, and also talk about Dr. Heffernan’s biggest project: ASSISTments. The audio quality isn’t the same as usual as the interview was over Zoom, but we hope you...

Throughout this episode, Armaan and I discuss with Nihitha Reddy, a senior at Mass Academy, about her extraordinary ML project. Beyond simply just learning about the ML skills that were needed to accomplish the project, she provided excellent insight on important things to consider to make completing a research project enjoyable. Nihitha also discusses a fantastic opportunity that prepared her for...

In this episode, Armaan and I talk to Joseph Yu (Mass Academy Senior) about his independent research project: a disease detection AI model based on immune footprints. His project is not only novel but has also obtained a provisional patent, the process of which we all discuss in this episode. Hope you enjoy this episode!

In this episode, Armaan and I discuss hackathons and other tech things with Charles Tang, a fellow Mass Academy student and rising Brown University freshman. We talk about GOATHACKS, a hackathon at WPI that he recently won, and MAMS SISO, a really cool independent project that assists students with signing in and out. Hope you enjoy this episode and tune into our next one with Joseph Yu!

In this episode, Armaan and I delve deeper into the world of AI by analyzing some of the innovative research presented at the NeurIPS 2023 conference. Through thorough analysis of the gaps and advantages of this research, we reflect upon the novelty and astuteness within these papers. Hope you enjoy!
