Testimonials
“Innovation has always guided humanity forward. In this new age of AI, I want to understand how it can be applied to everyday life and science to help society progress further.” - Tasnim Haque
“I’ve thoroughly enjoyed participating in the ARNI program so far. Although I began with limited experience in natural language processing, I’ve already learned a great deal and continue to grow through this experience. The faculty has been incredibly supportive, and my research project has been a good challenge and an ideal opportunity to deepen my understanding of NLP this summer.” -Medha Morparia
“Over the summer, I am looking most forward to determining the kinds of stimuli that can be deemed as positive or negative to different people. I am also curious to see how this can be connected to the ever evolving Artificial Intelligence.” -Leilanie Lewis
