Deepseek-Driven Spreadsheet Recommendation System

The project aims to develop a chat bot that utilizes Deepseek technology to provide intelligent recommendations based on spreadsheet data. The primary goal is to enable users to upload spreadsheets and receive actionable insights and recommendations derived from the data. This project will allow learners to apply their knowledge of web development, data analysis, and machine learning. The tasks involved include integrating Deepseek with a web interface, designing a user-friendly interface for data upload, and implementing algorithms to generate recommendations. The project will focus on creating a seamless user experience and ensuring the accuracy of the recommendations provided. By completing this project, learners will gain hands-on experience in applying AI technologies to real-world data challenges.

MediPath
January 2025 - January 2025
https://github.com/DerekY2/MediPath

MediPath is an AI-powered symptom checker, fully developed and hosted on Gadget. It takes an input from the user, then returns a list of possible diagnoses. The user may then select any diagnosis returned for an in-depth explanation on how the result was determined, risks involved, preventional steps, and recommended next-steps.

MediPath uses OpenAI's ADA to generate vector embeddings from the user's input. They are then analysed with medical databases in order to find and display the best-matching diseases from the user's input. Upon selecting a diagnosis, MediPath additionally leverages GPT 4o to generate a informational report on the selected diagnosis, tailored to the user's symptom
