Within the City of Seattle, the IT Department resolves service requests and incidents through service/help desk or the Service Hub system. Given the complexity of the data generated from the system, it's challenging for IT staff to extract actionable insights to expedite the resolution of stalled requests. This project aims to transform organizational management embedded with AI techniques. By implementing Llama 2 with the LangChain framework and running open-source large language models locally, we developed a chatbot (EVAN9000) to optimize operational efficiency while ensuring data security. Extensive experiments and evaluations have validated its effectiveness for promising enterprise-level use cases.

Team Cherry Balls worked alongside Arena Sports to modernize and migrate their data pipeline to a new system. Previously, their data services utilized a less-efficient platform that led to inaccurate reports and laborious report building. The new system utilizes Fivetran, a cloud based data movement service, and connects to Microsoft’s Power BI, allowing for more consistent synchronizations and easier access to data. With our new workflow, we can now provide easier and more accurate dashboards to help various stakeholders of the firm gauge their operational health.

In today's digital age, the internet and social media have transformed into essential tools for skincare beginners.

The Catastrophe Awareness Team project helps students stay safe in an emergency by sharing earthquake preparedness information for the Seattle area. Seattle lies over a number of large fault lines, making it particularly susceptible to earthquakes, and is in anticipation of ‘The Big One,’ an earthquake of magnitude 6.0 or higher sometime in next 30 years. By targeting users new to the Seattle area, we provide directions to their nearest emergency shelter, a concise and downloadable preparedness guide, and a resource-filled quiz to reinforce knowledge. Ultimately, SEACAT is a one-stop shop for Seattle residents to gain baseline preparedness for earthquakes.

Gender disparities in computer science authorship persist as a significant challenge in academia. Our project involves creating a data visualization website to highlight the gender gap in computer science research. We discovered that women represent a mere 21.9% of published papers. Additionally, women constitute only 25% of full-time professors and earn just 80% of what their male counterparts make. By presenting engaging data visualizations and employing a predictive algorithm, our website sheds light on the future gender gap. This project empowers others by raising awareness and facilitating informed actions to combat gender disparities in computer science

One of the most challenging topics in healthcare today is thinking about the impact of AI. This project centered on developing accessible teaching material using an anti-bias and equity lens. The crux of the challenge was creating content that spoke to Faculty, C-Suite decision makers and clinicians. Unfortunately, expertise is often siloed across these groups leading to negative outsized impacts. The key take-way was demonstrating the importance of expertise and demographic diversity across the data provenance pipeline in order to achieve more equitable healthcare outcomes. This collaborative work will continue towards making healthcare AI models more accessible and transparent.
