Individual and collaborative efforts within the past month have set everyone up to curate the data needed to fulfill core objectives while advancing the AI “Hallucinations” Project in other foundational ways. The website draft, presenting the BEKD as well as methodologies for constructing “hallucination” data, provides a base for designing an interactive, and appealing platform. Additionally, Michelle’s outreach form successfully enabled Sasha to begin finding initial audiences at Open Data Week.
With these accomplishments in mind, we still have a few tasks to complete between today and the beginning of spring break. One of them is scheduling an appointment with a GCDI fellow, in which Michelle will soon find a time that is realistic for everyone, even if Spring Break permits. Lastly, I plan to assign Sasha and Michelle each to at least 2 of the digital libraries and databases already listed in the google doc. In doing so, each group member will have a set of digital locations to visit in order to begin conducting some research, which would be helpful with making ideas for prompts. The query prompts, as we have established, will inquire Puerto Rican histories, therefore some research ahead of time will benefit the overall pacing. In addition to post-Spring Break tasks, Michelle will finalize the website’s domain name. On that note, the project is in a solid position, where progress is certain after this point. The developmental successes made in this month have set the foundations for completing core objectives, such as writing up the prompts. Especially considering that I recently made guidelines for prompt engineering, it is further evidence that the AI “Hallucinations” Project has the tools and overall means to curate and share details of generative hallucinations to academia.
