Developing Personalized Degree Planning System
AskOski is a degree planning system that incorporates machine learning models built on various data like course description, past preferences, and historic enrollment to help students explore their academic interests. To further facilitate the system’s exploring and planning features, my summer research project will focus on exploring, building, and fine-tuning different variations of the bag-of-words and course2vec models. Additionally, I plan to leverage tools like OpenAI’s models to perform feature extraction and searching.
Message To Sponsor
I would like to express my gratitude to my donor for giving me the opportunity to continue with research into the summer. This project has played a significant role in helping me discover and consolidate my interest in machine learning. As I continue down the path, I'm excited to leverage my interests and skills to contribute to human-centered AI research that benefits colleges and students around me.
