Large Language Models for Language Data Analytics - Detailseite

This class offers an introduction to the state of the art in the way methods of Generative Artificial Intelligence are employed in the realm of language. We will start with a brief overview over the history of the field, which will present the concept and important kinds of neural networks (e.g., Convoluted Neural Networks, Recursive Neural Networks, Long-Short Term Memory Networks). Then we will focus on Large Language Models, which today form the foundation of cutting-edge language technology, in particular, ChatGPT. This includes an investigation of the kind of linguistic data that are used for these models, and ensuing legal and ethical questions.
