Pinkerton Elementary - Cowpokes

Coppell High School junior Sahasra Kalakonda achieved a remarkable academic milestone this summer with the acceptance of a research paper she co-authored on the Theory of Mind in AI to the NAACL Student Research Workshop. The North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics (NAACL) is one of the most respected organizations in the field of computational linguistics and natural language processing. The student workshop is highly competitive, selecting only a small number of papers from across North America. Kalakonda was part of a team that presented their work to leading scholars and researchers from across the United States, sharing insights from their study, DIG-DIS: Transformer-Based Models vs. State Space Models on Complex Theory of Mind Reasoning Tasks. This accomplishment reflects exceptional dedication and expertise, and she hopes it will inspire other students interested in STEM and research. The authors of the research paper "DIG-DIS: Transformer-Based Models vs State Space Models on Complex Theory of Mind Reasoning Tasks" are Aayushya Patel, Maximilian Prince, Adithri Manda, Hannah You, Sahasra Kalakonda, Kevin Zhu, Aslihan Akalin, Sean O’Brien and Vasu Sharma.
