            <title><![CDATA[Case Study: Linear Regression & Business Decision Making]]></title>
            <description><![CDATA[This paper will examine a case study presented by Esö et al. (2017) in 'Pedigree vs. Grit: Predicting Mutual Fund Manager Performance'. The case study uses linear regression to evaluate fund manager performance based on five independent variables (Esö et al., 2017). More specifically, there are two candidates, Bob and Putney, being considered for an important role that come from different backgrounds (Esö et al., 2017). An analysis is done on the industry to prove empirically whether certain qualities and experiences have an impact on excess returns generated (Esö et al., 2017).]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Cognitive Security (COGSEC) is a field focusing on efforts and counterefforts to influence groups of people in virtual spaces (Waltzman, 2017). It’s suggested that these efforts are and will continue to be conducted by governments, academics, industry participants, etc. (Waltzman, 2017). While the field of COGSEC is focused on these issues at scale (Waltzman, 2017), it is necessary for individuals to implement practices to maintain the security of their own cognitive environments.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[In their paper titled “Attention Is All You Need,” Vaswani et al. (2017) proposed the transformer architecture, which is the foundation for many of today’s most advanced generative models (Foster, 2023). Approximately a year later, the Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) model was introduced by OpenAI (Radford et al., 2018). The model introduced by this paper, known as GPT-1, is a decoder model (Foster, 2023). Naturally, encoder models, such as BERT (Devlin et al., 2018), were also built using the transformer architecture. However, this paper will focus on Google’s T5 model, which uses a third structure called “encoder-decoder” (Raffel et al., 2019).]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Machine learning (ML) allows computers (machines) to learn about datasets without explicit programming but rather through various algorithms and statistical techniques (An et al., 2023). ML has been highlighted as being vital to the progression of the healthcare field (Habehh & Gohel, 2021). Researchers have even suggested that medical ML systems may improve access to healthcare as it is more economical and scalable when compared to human expertise (Yu & Vizcaychipi, 2022). However, the application of machine learning does not come without challenges and risks (Habehh & Gohel, 2021).]]></description>
