Bianca Work, Alvio Founder and Principal Quant Researcher | What Partners Say | Recommendation Dashboard

Recommendations

What it's like working with me.

I used an open source LLM to thematically classify 34 recommendations from current and former colleagues and students. I wanted to understand patterns in how they describe our working relationship. This dashboard is a look into my process: raw input, structured into meaningful constructs, sized through data, and translated into meaningful insight.
