OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Join us at the Centre for Digital Scholarship, Weston Library, on Wednesday 20 November for this practical workshop which will explore opportunities for new kinds of digital scholarship in the humanities and social sciences presented by Large Language Models.
Led by Dominik Lukeš, Lead Business Technologist at the AI and ML Competency Centre, the workshop will present Large Language Models as a new kind of machine for processing semantic information in text with completely new capabilities and also new limitations. It will then explore what opportunities these new machines present for digital scholarship based on practical examples. These opportunities lie not only in using Large Language Models as tools to assist with text data but also as a new kind of object to study.
The workshop is focused on enabling scholars in the humanities to get started with using Large Language Models in their work – no prior experience or knowledge is required. It will combine brief explanations and case studies with hands-on activities.
This free event is open to University of Oxford staff and students. Registration required.
