Welcome to Teapot, a dynamic research team comprising three dedicated computer engineering undergraduates and led by two esteemed computer engineering lecturers from the University of Peradeniya. In addition, we are fortunate to have the guidance of a seasoned Senior Research Scientist from Carnegie Mellon University.
Our Mission
At Teapot, our mission is to delve into the cutting-edge domain of the disagreement problem and explore the latest evaluation metrics introduced in the field. In 2023, we embarked on a research journey to unravel the intricacies of Human-Machine Learning (ML) interaction using Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI).
Research Focus
Teapot is dedicated to advancing the understanding of the disagreement problem and its implications in the realm of Human-ML interaction. Our research centers around exploring the barriers inherent in this interaction through the lens of Explainable AI, utilizing the most recent methodologies and insights available. Join us on this exciting journey as we strive to push the boundaries of knowledge and contribute to the ever-evolving landscape of artificial intelligence.
Research Gap Identified in the FYP

Our Plan to Bridge the Research Gap

Dataset We Chose
Our study relies on the DonorsChoose dataset (2014-2018), encompassing Projects.csv, Donations.csv, Schools.csv, and Teachers.csv. We've amalgamated these datasets, yielding 1,110,015 unique projects. Our focus extends to teacher donations, particularly analyzing four months post-project posting. We calculate total donations, determining the percentage of the project cost covered. Currently, we haven't explored converting text columns to NLP features. This dataset exploration forms the foundation for our research, providing insights into project funding dynamics and community engagement within the realm of Explainable AI.
