Overview

As we seek to improve and streamline user experiences across departments of the University, chatbots have been proposed by various departments as a means to accomplish this goal. While there are many different chatbot offerings in the market today, TTS seeks to create a single, unified chatbot in-house to serve all departments, leveraging Generative AI and Tufts internal data and systems.

Data: “Garbage in, garbage out” The training of any model hinges on accurate, high quality data in an optimal format. If a department lacks this, it can hinder development and even worse, lead to unreliable model output. Data can broken down into the following aspects:
- Accuracy: The data for a process is accurate and up-to-date
- Volume: There’s an adequate amount of data to train, per model requirements
- Format: Data is in an adequate format for training
Hallucinations: If a model lacks adequate data on a particular topic it can potentially provide false information. Tuning of model parameters (e.g temperature) can help minimize hallucinations.
