Intertextual Sentiments In Ulysses And The Odyssey, Aidan Jordan, Katherine Elkins Oct 2024

Intertextual Sentiments In Ulysses And The Odyssey, Aidan Jordan, Katherine Elkins

IPHS 200: Programming Humanity

The form of Ulyssesrelies heavily on the structure of the Odyssey for its movement. With chapters taking key events from the Odyssey as inspiration for their themes, characters, and events. One chapter for example is based on the episode where Odysseus travels into the underworld and Joyce’s stand-in character Bloom goes to a funeral. These structural and tonal suggestions have lead me to ask if this …

Unraveling The March Sisters: A Digital Network Analysis Of Little Women's Evolving Bonds, Jessica Daugherty, Katherine Elkins

IPHS 200: Programming Humanity

Little Women is one of the most female-focused novels of the 19th century. The book, being so popular, inspired numerous film and television adaptations. The three most recognized film adaptations are: 1933 directed by George Cukor, 1994 directed by Gillian Armstrong, and 2019 directed by Greta Gerwig. This project aims to analyze and compare the social networks in these three adaptations to assess how genuinely female-centric the films are. I am curious to see if there have been any changes in the social networks and if they have evolved in response to cultural context. Using AI for coding assistance and …

Mastering The Art Of Ai Language: An In-Depth Exploration Of Prompting Techniques And Their Influence On Model Performance, Junaid Yeasir Fahim Apr 2024

Mastering The Art Of Ai Language: An In-Depth Exploration Of Prompting Techniques And Their Influence On Model Performance, Junaid Yeasir Fahim

IPHS 484: Senior Seminar

AI language models like ChatGPT(GPT-4), Claude, Grok, PI, and Gemini Advanced have revolutionized various domains with their remarkable capabilities. However, their performance varies significantly depending on the prompting techniques and the domain of application. This research investigates the performance of these models across zero-shot, few-shot, and chain-of-thought prompting techniques in three domains: HELLASWAG (common-sense reasoning), TRUTHFULQA (popular misconceptions), and Game Theory (textbook problems). By evaluating the models using a qualitative scoring rubric and exploring a novel domain, we aim to identify the most effective prompting strategies, gain insights into their strengths and limitations, and inform future research and development efforts …
