Perspectives Engine

Perspectives Engine is an AI tool that automates the process of putting giant and unfamiliar numbers into familiar context, with a goal of improving reading comprehension. Perspective Engine has been integrated into Bing and PowerPoint Designer, where it and can now recognize when a slide contains a large number that might be difficult to interpret and put the number into perspective. Worked in designing and implementing the crowdsourcing platform for generating analogies for unfamiliar numbers, as part of my internships at Microsoft Research NYC.
