Date: Wednesday, November 15, 2023
Time: 12:30pm-2:00pm
Location: Zoom
Presenter: Chris Magnano, PhD. Curriculum Fellow in the Center for Computational Biomedicine
Description: This 1-hour workshop will be about AI and large language models (LLMs) in education, after the workshop participants will be able to:
- Define neural networks, machine learning, large language models, transformers, and other terms around LLMs
- Describe the key innovations in machine learning which allowed for the high-performance of current generation LLMs
- Summarize the training and prediction process for models like ChatGPT
- Engage with some of the ethical issues around LLMs and other AI models, both inside and outside the classroom
- Create effective LLM prompts for use in-class or for instructional design
Immediately after the workshop, for about half an hour (from 1:30-2pm), we will stay on in the Zoom room to hold a collaborative work-session to brainstorm prompts and activities using AI in our respective areas of expertise. The goal of the work-session is to create the start of a resource internal to HMS for example prompts to use in-class.
Please note this session will be recorded for Chris's teaching portfolio. All Harvard members are welcome to attend!
