With the rise of AI-powered language models, there has been growing interest in their creative and critical capabilities. In this study, we investigated ChatGPT generating and evaluating poetry. We conducted experiments to test ChatGPT's proficiency in categorizing and producing poems in various forms and styles. Our findings reveal distinctive linguistic patterns in ChatGPT-generated poetry, such as the prominent use of the first-person plural (“we,” “us,” “our”), as well as forms and styles that the model can identify with surprising accuracy. Our research contributes to a growing body of literature on AI-powered language models in the field of literature and poetry.

This project was intended to evaluate the existing status of digital course material accessibility to better understand potential points of improvement the iSchool can make. We found that while Canvas site design almost always met the standards recommended by Washington State Policy #188, text materials and video content had areas where they lack. The results of this project will allow the iSchool to better understand where to begin remediating its courses to align with legal accessibility standards and accessibility best practices, ensuring disabled iSchool students get the support they need.

Wex is an open-access legal encyclopedia and dictionary. Wex uses a tagging system adapted from a homegrown system used by LII staff in the late 1990s. Over time, terms have been added/indexed but the tagging system has remained the same. Currently, the organization and navigation for the Wex subject categories is confusing for users to navigate. Due to some constraints, the taxonomy cannot be overhauled completely and research on law taxonomy is limited. This project is the first step in improving the findability of terms for everyday users by updating the Wex taxonomy by adding, deleting and updating categories.

Nurses spend the most amount of administrative time charting and reviewing information in health record systems (Yen et al., 2018). Based on our research, nurses confirmed that this stems from physical chart logging and data entries. LifeLens seeks to address this by providing a voice-to-text and automatic chart mapping system to allow nurses to record a voice note anywhere at any time. LifeLens’ processes the transcription and sorts the audio, saving at least 10-15% of time in our prototype testing. In doing so, nurses can redistribute this saved time toward their most important responsibility: Patient care.

The Longview Public Library’s adult collection required a diversity audit to assess current representational proportions and discover areas for improvement. By expanding the representation in Longview Public Library’s collection, we aimed to bolster patron engagement with the library by ensuring that everyone feels represented and welcomed there. We also hoped to encourage patrons to expand their perspectives by engaging with materials and lived experiences that differ from their own. Ultimately, we utilized the results of the audit and local/national demographic data to identify areas of focus for future purchasing and weeding efforts.
