 So, well, I think it started, but I'll just introduce myself first. So, my name is Ava. I'm a junior computer science engineering and the peer advisor for computer science engineering. And today we're joined by the Michigan students, artificial intelligence lab and sale. So, do you want to go ahead and choose to yourself? Yeah, I'm a co-president education lead of the Michigan student artificial intelligence lab. I'm a sophomore student computer science at the university. Great. So, to get us started off, could you talk a little about what is I'm sale and maybe about what types of majors and people are in this organization? Yeah, I'm so sense for the Michigan student artificial intelligence lab. There's also a lot of different events and initiatives. We have a greeting group talk where essentially speakers come and talk about their research. We've had a lot of different professors come in and CEOs such as Edwin else and the CEO of main mobility. We have an education section where essentially students get to learn stuff or a material of education and then replicate a research paper. So, this semester we're planning on learning the material of the research paper. Deep CNNs with the image and a set and also we have a project section where students kind of learn the practical step by step process of applying AI projects and this semester we're doing music recommendation through the Spotify API. And we also have a socials initiative where students get to basically meet each other and get some really good food. And yeah, cool. That's perfect overview. So, you mentioned that you have different talks and educational programs and also social events. Can you talk about if they're on like specific dates and maybe like some other examples and maybe your favorite ones that you've been to. Yeah, so we have our education projects weekly from 6 to 7 at East Quad. I believe both rooms are at each quad. 1506. Yeah, these are at 6 to 7pm they meet weekly. They really build off one another. So joining now might be a little tough, but we're definitely accepting rolling members and yeah, and I guess something that. I think that I'd like the most about these education project meetings or just really the community you can build and the cool stuff that we can do. For example, we do a lot of like, we will collab work for work and get our hands dirty with tensor flow and we can actually like code like CNNs and stuff like that. That's really cool. And then you mentioned a lot of like technical words that are probably with AI. Do you need skills to before you join a team or is there a requirement? Yeah, so our club is really like beginner focus because we know that usually the people who want to join these clubs are like freshmen and sophomores just really trying to get a good overview of AI. So our, our like application process is really like it's really open. There's really no application process anyone can join and we accept all types of people, beginners, intermediate, advanced and we're really being focused. And then I also want to ask about time commitment, especially for you as a student. How has it been managing beyond a project and going to talks and stuff. And then what is like the expected time commitment from club? Yeah, for sure. It's really like what you put in is what you get out of it. But. A general baseline is around 1 to 2 hours a week. So we have for education meetings or project meetings and reading group talks. Usually twice a month. Usually students pick 1 of projects or education. Some go to both, but usually students just pick 1 of them. And usually, yeah, they're just expected to go to that meeting. Usually, we don't expect any homework like outside of the club work because we understand that a lot of these students are just really busy and it's just not like feasible to do so. So, depending on what they plan to do, it's usually around 1 to 2 hours a week. And then you mentioned that you have different projects that you guys work on. You mentioned one with Spotify. Could you talk more maybe about what those projects you currently have and maybe some past projects that you've done? Yeah, so as of right now, we have our music recommendation through Spotify project through the park project section education. We don't have a specific project, but we're trying to replicate a research paper and use like what they've done. What they're the main purpose of the research paper was to develop CNN's using the internet data set and using different like machine learning techniques such as dropout and stuff like that. So, basically, we plan for education members to do something along the lines of that previously we've done housing prices regression project. It's a classic 1 on Kaggle back in my day, like, when I joined this club in high school, like, virtually, since everything was in the pandemic, I didn't ASR project, which was an automated speech recognition project. Really cool. That's awesome. And then what types of professional opportunities can members gain from them? So, yeah, so as of right now, I feel like our reading group talks is a good way for our members to network with people. Um, just kind of above, like, for example, our reading group talks, we've had professor Olson and professor woman talk and professor woman is like the head of the CS department, I believe. So, just getting him to talk and then a lot of students talk with them afterwards. That's pretty good professional opportunity. They could have professor also professor here and he's the CEO of main ability. It's a multimillion dollar company. So, just being able to talk to these guys and then also just the material kind of learn in this organization is in itself a professional opportunity. Um, and then going out that to what types of like leadership opportunities are there available for students or members when they're like more involved in it. Yeah, sure. Um, so, um, our applications are out as of right now and admin basically means being a leader of this organization. We have a lot of different leaders who do different stuff. For example, I'm the co-president education lead. So I'm kind of double downing on 2 different initiatives. And different initiatives that we that we have that could like kind of support leadership opportunities are our research initiative or education initiative or research reading group talks and our socials. Also finance and yeah, there's some other roles. So we definitely have a lot of research leadership opportunities and definitely if anyone's interested, we have a Google form in our weekly updates that. Is an application for this organization. And then you mentioned earlier that basically anyone can join, no matter your experience and, you know, your background, but is there a specific way that students need to join? Like, is there a form they should fill out or like place they should go to? Yeah, so in the past for 1 semester, we kind of had this cohort, which was an application process, but we decided that we really wanted to be an inclusive environment. There's a lot. I know that I myself and my friends and other people like applied to clubs that they really want to get into. And the selection process sometimes is a little bit arbitrary. So we just want to be inclusive and anyone who really wants to join this organization can. So, there's no application process at all. Awesome, do you have any events coming up? I guess, like, before the semester ends that people would be able to attend. I know you mentioned it's kind of hard to join the middle semester, but maybe I guess for next semester or 2. Yeah, yes, our education projects. It's a little hard to join right now, but a reading group talks definitely can join anytime. We have a reading group talk coming today. Actually, 6 to 7 at the, at East quad, 8, 8, 1, 4 is the room. It's with Jacob cross. He's the president of the Michigan safety initiative. We also have another reading group talk with a PhD candidate next Tuesday from 6 to 7 at East quad. So those are 2 events that anyone can kind of join right now. And then to kind of end things, I wanted to ask what your favorite thing or your favorite memory has been from I'm still. Yeah, honestly, just like the community and the people like me, I mean, that might be a little cliche, but I just started learning like AI and machine learning in high school. Like, kind of by myself and I don't know. It was a little bit lonely at times. Like, it definitely help if I had like some people, if I could do it with or just an overall support or like community. And this is kind of what this club does. It gets a group people together to learn some cool stuff about AI. So, being able to kind of facilitate that is something that I kind of enjoy because back in the day, like in high school, I really wish I had something like that. That's awesome. Well, thank you so much for joining us and giving us a great overview of sales. There's a lot of great professional educational and leadership opportunities as well. So I really appreciate your time today. Thank you. Yeah. Thank you. Bye.
