FREQUENTLY ASKED
Do I need an AI background?
No. You need curiosity, discipline, and willingness to learn. Projects can begin from biology, games, education, language, or operational problems.
How does a project begin?
We define the question, contribution, smallest credible baseline, data plan, and evidence needed to challenge the idea.
Can undergraduate work become a paper?
Yes, when the question is focused, the experiment is rigorous, and the student develops genuine ownership of the work.
