Hillhouse faculty guide students in applying AI to various research areas

Hillhouse faculty members are dedicated to fostering and enhancing the research skills of our students. During the summer, our students actively engage in data science and AI-related research studies. They integrate Data Science & AI into their areas of interest, gradually exploring their future specializations through data-driven projects (see examples below).

As a foundation for Data Science & AI, students in grades 9-12 are encouraged to focus on Hillhouse's statistics program , which offers the following features:

- Improved performance in school statistics courses

- Preparation for AP Statistics

- A research-oriented statistics course

We welcome inquiries about Hillhouse's statistics and AP Statistics courses, as well as our commitment to developing students' research skills .

 

 

This is the statistics textbook we use at Lord Byng, St. George's, and Crofton Schools:

Case 1: Data science analytics can be applied to gene sequence and protein function prediction. By extracting valuable information from large datasets and combining it with statistical hypothesis testing, significant results can be discovered in complex gene sequences.

 

 

Case 2: Our students apply AI in everyday scenarios, such as music recommendation systems and object recognition algorithms.

 

 

Some of the course syllabi are listed below:

 

 

Case 3: Some of our freshmen completed an internship at Google on the project "Does AI Lead to Bias?" Under the guidance of faculty, they produced high-quality work, earned recognition from the department, and laid the foundation for future internships and activities. More importantly, they gained an understanding of the value of technology.

 

 

Case 4: Several students participated in an academic event that brought together leading AI scientists from around the world. After nearly a month of intensive research, the students successfully completed a paper at the undergraduate research level. This experience not only introduced them to fundamental concepts in mathematics, programming, and AI but also provided their first exposure to scientific research, laying a strong foundation for their future academic endeavors.

 

 

More about Hillhouse's integration of AI into coursework, research, and internships, including SAT preparation, can be found at the link: AI tech reaches into Hillhouse's coursework, research, and internships.

Through these activities, our students develop an early appreciation for the importance of data and data science. They become equipped to thrive in the AI ​​era and apply AI skills to their scientific studies.
