Ask NJEMS- natural language queries of NJEMS

Description

This project would pilot the use of Large Language Models (LLMs) to use natural language prompting to produce SQL queries that return data and execute data analysis. This will require pairing one or more LLMs tuned or trained in databases and SQL, with NJEMS database schemas and metadata in order to enable model outputs of figures, tables and possibly charts.

Problem Statement

Too much DEP data remains under-used. One obstacle to greater use has been the friction involved in learning to use a reporting tool or engaging with report experts.

Project Justification

Unlocking greater insights from existing data is likely to directly advance NJDEP goals. Constraints in personnel time and limited report building expertise remain a likely obstacle to rapid and iterative querying that leads to insight.
