Currently collaborating with a team to analyze public opinion on gun control across Twitter posts using BERTweet . Implementing topic modeling with BERTweet to group tweets and identify the stances of opposing sides. Aiming to publish a paper presenting insights on the discussion of gun control on Twitter.

Trained two BERTweet models to predict main emotion and themes shown in inputted text based on Twitter data from late 2024. Built a web interface that allows users to interact with models. Models used and web app are stored on Hugging Face for easy access and deployment.

Implemented CRUD operations for each of the six entities which includes a many-to-many relationship.
