AI experiment that uses LLM to transform English to Conceptual Bliss. The aim of the experiment is, we lack training data to deal with word order issues and deal with “conceptual English”. A step closer to a translation system. Potential usage includes: (1) Could be used for making suggestions for continuations? (2) Able to infer from the words they’ve entered. (3) Could be used in either direction? Antonio: create a dataset. transform a couple of books to Conceptual Bliss structure. IN PROGRESS David: use this dataset (the one created by Antonio using Spacey) to fine tune a llama model in his lab. WAITING ON DATASET	David, Antonio, Hannes	IN PROGRESS	Antonio's repo for creating dataset: https://github.com/agamba/spacy-tests Sample generated data: https://github.com/agamba/spacy-tests/blob/main/C-Bliss-data-sample.json Next steps of dataset creation: Antonio will create a list of sentence patterns he has problems with, then send to the tech team especially David for advice Antonio will work on transforming what/where/how/etc questions. Hannes and Antonio will figure out how transformed sentences should look like for these questions.
Implement BMW input method Cindy: Coordinated the completion of points that will be used to invite Pete and Samara to co-design Created a google doc with the MS grant application form so we can all work on it Will merge Joseph’s PR into my encoding branch.

I think it’s good to be reviewed and merged at this stage. Will try to add auto deploy of the adaptive-palette repo to Netlify so the latest dev progress is accessible by the public Joseph: Meta/Llama grant, Added tests for the BlissSymbol component, Looked over the points that will be used to invite Pete and Samara to co-design, Will work on setting proper attributes for Bliss symbols	Joseph, Cindy, Hannes	IN PROGRESS	Joseph's PR for creating palette and BMW code icons: https://github.com/inclusive-design/adaptive-palette/pull/2 Cindy's branch for creating BMW encoding area: https://github.com/cindyli/adaptive-palette/tree/feat/create-bmw-encoding
