About Us
Connor Silviger -

I'm a senior here at UMBC. I study Computer Science and work in a research lab where I focus on
computational linguistics.
For this project I collated the datasets to make a master
dataset, fine tuned the model for text classification
focusing on bias and implemented it within the discord
bot.
​
I had a great time, thank you to the event organizers, worked and sponsors for job well done.
