Amcha Initiative

AMCHA INITIATIVE - AI DIGITAL DOCUMENTATION PROJECT [THIS PROJECT WILL USE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI), WITH HUMAN REVIEW, TO PRESERVE ONLINE CAMPUS MATERIALS AND PRESENT THEM AS TRUSTWORTHY, EASY-TO-USE RECORDS. SPECIFICALLY, IT WILL: 1) DEVELOP A CAMPUS NEWSPAPER PIPELINE TO IMPROVE ACCURACY, FILTERING, AND CLASSIFICATION ACROSS THOUSANDS OF ARTICLES THAT REFER TO ANTISEMITIC ACTIVITY; 2) DEVELOP AN INSTAGRAM PIPELINE TO CAPTURE PUBLICLY AVAILABLE POSTS FROM ELIGIBLE CAMPUS-AFFILIATED ACCOUNTS, IN COMPLIANCE WITH PLATFORM POLICIES; 3) APPLY ADVANCED AI METHODS USING LARGE LANGUAGE MODELS (LLMS), OPTICAL CHARACTER RECOGNITION (OCR), AND ENTITY EXTRACTION, TO TRANSFORM THE FRAGMENTED DIGITAL ARTIFACTS FROM THE NEWSPAPER AND INSTAGRAM CONTENT INTO COHERENT, CONTEXTUALIZED RECORDS; 4) ARCHIVE AND PRESERVE THESE RECORDS IN AMCHA INITIATIVE?S PUBLIC DATABASE, ENSURING STABLE, OPEN ACCESS; 5) ASSESS ADDITIONAL POLICY-COMPLIANT SOURCES OF ANTISEMITIC ACTIVITY FOR FUTURE PHASES.]
