Tracks

We will be offering the project track in Spring 2026! Join our instagram or discord to stay updated! :> Collaborate with friends and fellow students on a self-led or mentor-led project in AI. Present your findings to research and industry experts at our end-of-semester hackathon! Self-led projects are solo or led by groups of students. If you need teammates, we'll help match you to students with similar interests during the first meeting. Teams and solo projects will be finalized during the second meeting. You'll receive mentorship from MassAI, but you have full freedom to lead your project. Mentor-led projects are chosen both by groups of students and the club. They are led by a project lead on the E-Board. We'll match you to mentor-led projects in the second meeting and finalize teams in the third meeting.

Hi! I'm a senior CS/Computational Linguistics major, and I'm excited to build ML projects with y'all this semester! My main research focus is NLP, specifically mechanistic interpretability and the intersection of deep NLP and linguistics. I am currently doing an honors thesis on LLM tokenization schemes, and helping out with some interpretability research at Amherst College.
