Research

Here are some research projects that I have open-sourced:

Case Law for AI Policy : Our system artifact for the "Democratic inputs to AI".
We were part of 10 teams selected for the Democratic inputs to AI grant program run by OpenAI. For our project, we propose the concept of using cases as a foundation for defining AI policy. In this web demo, we present our workflow and provide a sample of the data we acquired in our pilot run.
Goldilocks : A template repo to deploy Goldilocks-like tasks on Amazon Mechanical Turk
Allows you to collect uncertainty via range annotations from crowd workers for tasks that contain ambiguous aspects. Please see our CSCW '21 paper for more details!
Cicero (System) : Cicero-Sync is a synchronous discussion framework built on top of TurkServer.
Pairs crowd workers who disagree on answers into synchronous real-time discussions leading to better quality answers on challenging domains. Please see our CHI '19 paper for more details!

Here are some non-research projects work on in my free time:

CommentCoreLibrary : A library for showing overlaid commentary on videos

Open Source JavaScript/HTML5 library to overlay comments (captions) onto a video's timeline. Supports live streaming and typographic art. Currently used by various video streaming sites.

Here are some projects that I've worked on for courses:

PennBook : A scalable social network service built using Express.js running on Node.

Featuring SimpleDB as a scalable backing K-V datastore, PennBook supports incremental updates, realtime notifications and search suggestions. Security hardened.

Won the Facebook Award 2013 . Best Term Project for NETS 212.
3D Snake : 3D Snakes Game with software Grid Rendering based on java AWT.

Inspired Snakes n Symbian S60 smartphones, this is a visually similar 3D Snakes game built in Java with naive projection-matrix based perspective 3D rendering.

Course Project for CIS 120. Featured in the course project demo for later semesters.
