The CLAIM (Cultural Linguistics Artificial Intelligence Model) simulator is a plugin for interactive exploration of language nuances, social expectations, and cultural mannerisms through artificial intelligence (AI) interactions. 

Outcomes and Additional Information

• The purpose of the project was to create program that can increase cultural comprehension, prevent culture shock and insensitivity, and support better social understanding.

• The students modeled animated facial movements as well as speech tones. Users can engage with the AI model through natural language conversations, asking questions and receiving contextually appropriate information.

• Prompt engineering utilized ChatGPT with personality customization and emotional analysis. A "human editor" was created to customize visual, behavioral, and cognitive attributes.

• Although the project started with ChatGPT, the team shifted to the Local Large Language Model (LLAMA 2-Tiny LLM), inputting information to train the model to the use case.

• Future projects can feature large language models, more emotionally expressive facial animations, and integration of additional languages and cultures.
