As fake news becomes more prevalent across the US, important issues become harder to solve. One such issue is climate change, where climate misinformation has worsened viewer’s abilities to distinguish between fake information and real information. This project’s objective is to tackle climate misinformation using an artificial intelligence model.

One such issue is climate change, where climate misinformation has worsened viewer’s abilities to distinguish between fake information and real information. This project’s objective is to tackle climate misinformation using an artificial intelligence model. The model utilizes a BERT model tested on the “climate_fever” dataset to classify whether climate-related claims are true based on pieces of evidence.

The Use of Artificial Intelligence in Gravitational Microlensing Detection for Dark Matter Discoveries

This research utilizes Artificial Intelligence to enhance the speed and accuracy of microlensing detection using data from 600,000 stars observed by The Zwicky Transient Facility. Through comparative analysis and hyperparameter tuning, the KNN model was identified as the most accurate, achieving 97% accuracy in detecting microlensing events, which may include dark matter, within the Milky Way.
