CeSANI Seminar

Large Language Models (LLMs) for scholarly work (free attendance). 

Prof. Horacio Saggion (DTIC-UPF), Prof. Gael Le Mens (Dept. Economics - UPF, BSE) and Prof. Davinia Hernández Leo (DTIC-UPF).

Date: Thursday January 25th 2024. 15:30h - 17h.

Location: Room 55.309 (Tanger building, Roc Boronat 138). Zoom connection available.

Abstract:

The seminar will be framed with an introduction by Horacio Saggion of the general characteristics of Large Language Models. Gaël Le Mens will provide an overview of his research on using LLMs for measurement [1]–[3]. Finally, Davinia Hernández Leo will review her ongoing research on LLMs and generative AI for teaching and learning [4]–[7].
