Case study
Cognitive Processing Style Analyzer
Research trainee, with Dr. Cecilia Alm and Dr. Tina Sutton. Then NSF Regional I-Corps.
An NLP and machine-learning project that classifies cognitive processing styles from what a person writes. The customer discovery that followed it became Cogbias AI.
Classify a writer's cognitive processing style from their text.
A machine-learning classifier that reads the text, and an I-Corps process that turned it into a company.
Problem
The way someone writes about a hard experience carries signs of how they are processing it. The question for this project was whether a model could classify those processing styles from the text alone.
What I built
I built an NLP and machine-learning pipeline that takes written text and classifies the writer's cognitive processing style.
I presented it to the Air Force Research Laboratory during its visit to the AWARE-AI program in September 2022, at the RIT Graduate Student Showcase in April 2023, and at the Embracing the Digital Future of Healthcare Symposium in May 2023, with Dr. Cecilia Alm and Dr. Tina Sutton.
Result
From November to December 2023 I took the work through NSF Regional I-Corps customer discovery. What I learned in those interviews led to Cogbias AI.
