[PROJECT MILESTONES] What are the key milestones you need to achieve in order to complete your project successfully?

Set up AI training infrastructure – 15% of budget

• Objective: Establish the technical groundwork for the AI models by provisioning servers, selecting appropriate machine learning frameworks, and preparing datasets.
• Activities:
• Install necessary software and tools on cloud-based servers or local computing resources.
• Finalize choices of machine learning algorithms for sentiment analysis, developer insights, and misinformation detection.

AI model training with Cardano forums and GitHub repository data – 20% of the budget

• Objective: Create accurate and robust AI models through iterative training cycles using the collated data.
• Activities:
• Implement natural language processing techniques to interpret the context and structure within the forum and repository data.
• Run training cycles to fine-tune the AI models for high accuracy in real-world scenarios specifically relevant to the Cardano ecosystem.
• Evaluate the models using a set of performance metrics and refine based on feedback and results.

Develop and integrate the developer Aid Chat bot system with Cardano – 20% of the budget.

• Objective: Construct an AI-powered interface that assists developers by providing insights and recommendations based on their queries or code snippets.
• Activities:
• Design a user-friendly interface that can connect with the AI backend.
• Test the system with real users for usability and incorporate the feedback into further refinements.

Establish misinformation detection and alert mechanism – 20% of budget

• Objective: Create a system capable of analyzing information to detect potential misinformation and issue alerts for the Cardano community.
• Activities:
• Adapt AI models to recognize patterns indicating misinformation, relying on both linguistic cues and historical data.
• Develop a protocol to notify users of suspicious information, possibly integrating with social media platforms, forums, or other communication channels.
• Validate the detection mechanism’s accuracy and minimize false positives through iterative testing.

Milestone 5: Implement real-time Cardano popularity/sentiment analysis tool – 15% of the budget.

• Objective: Develop a tool that provides analytics on Cardano's presence across various media platforms.
• Activities:
• Create data pipelines for live data streaming from multiple sources like Reddit, Twitter, and news outlets to monitor Cardano's presence.
• Implement visualization and dashboard tools to display real-time analytics for the community.
• Include features for historical trend analysis and forecasting, utilizing AI predictive modeling.

Open-source release, documentation, and community handover – 10% of budgets

• Objective: Officially release the AI suite and its documentation to the public, encouraging adoption and further development within the community.
• Activities:
• Polish and prepare comprehensive documentation, developer guides, and usage tutorials for the AI suite.
• Finalize licensing and set up public repositories on platforms like GitHub.
• Facilitate a campaign to introduce the AI suite to the Cardano community through webinars, interactive Q&A sessions, and support channels.
