OxTalks is Changing
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
Coding with AI: Experiments with GPT-4
Large language models have proven to be highly effective programming assistants, and GPT-4 has achieved human-level performance on coding challenges. I will present some analyses of GPT-4 coding performance in the context of data science and statistics problems, and demonstrate its potential utility to improve programmer effectiveness as well as its shortcomings. I will also discuss ethical and educational issues surrounding the use of these models for coding and highlight a road forward towards effective use of these tools in service of rigorous research.
