OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
How LLMs Understand Text: Context and Meaning in the AI Age
This talk, presented by Dominik Lukeš, a Lead Business Technologist at the AI Competency Centre, will outline how Large Language Models “read” and “understand” text, and how they generate their response. This contrasts with how humans perform the same tasks (which is not always the same as how they perceive them). The talk will explore how humans deploy attention, working memory and external tools to deal with complex text in contrast to the models which only use a form of attention.
