Upcoming workshop
- "Keeping things private: Exploring open-source large language models for sensitive text data"
- workshop with prof. dr. Enrique Manjavacas
- 15 April 2024 10:00 - 16:00
- Abstract: Do you work with sensitive text data and does that make you hesitant about using AI-models such as ChatGPT? Are you unsure about what really happens to your data, and are you concerned about privacy and security? And most importantly: are you looking for a safer alternative? This course, brought to you by TEXTUA and VAIA, explores the use of open-source large language models as alternatives for dealing with sensitive data in a more secure way. But does their performance match that of the likes of ChatGPT? During a lecture and a hands-on workshop, you gain insight in current large language models' potential and implications for data safety, and you tackle case studies that you can afterwards apply to your own data.
