Our company is developing Sunny, a AI powered companion doll for older adults and children. Sunny has a corresponding app that allows health providers and family members to access emotional health analytics of their loved ones using Sunny.

We would like to collaborate with students to apply the latest artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) techniques to expand our emotional health/sentiment analysis detection capabilities. Students will develop an AI / ML model related to any of the aforementioned applications.

This will involve several different steps for the students, including:

• Conducting background research on our existing products and the dataset.
• Analyzing our current dataset.
• Researching the latest AI / ML techniques and how they could be applied to our data.
• Developing an AI / ML model that provides unique outcomes or insights into our data.
• Providing multiple solutions that can be applied to solve the same problem.

By the end of the project, students should demonstrate:

• Understanding of the available dataset
• Understanding of the latest AI / ML techniques
• Identification of ways in which AI / ML can be applied to our company

Bonus steps would include:

• Providing multiple versions of potential models

Final deliverables should include

• A final report on the dataset, the problem solved, methodologies and approaches, outcomes and results, and recommended next steps.
• Source materials such as code and workbooks.
