24 January 2023, Webinar about causality in economics, computer science, logic and language
Reasoning about causal relationships is an important theme throughout science. The Nobel Prize in Economics was awarded last year to Guido Imbens and Joshua Angrist, for their role in the development of methods to investigate how researchers understand and analyze causal relationships. This webinar, which the Academy organizes together with the Association for Logic (VvL), brings together various experts in the field of reasoning about causality from different disciplines.
Speakers: Guido Imbens, Sara Magliacane, Thomas Icard and Katrin Schulz. The evening will be chaired by Rineke Verbrugge, professor of logic and cognition at the University of Groningen, and Balder ten Cate, associate professor of logic and theoretical computer science at the University of Amsterdam. The language will be English.
24 January 2023, An afternoon with ChatGPT: A discussion of generative language models & its impact on the university
Everyone is talking about ChatGPT, and many predict that it and similar ‘large language models’ will have a major impact on education, learning, science and publishing. The ILLC – home to Amsterdam’s largest research group studying language models – invites lecturers, students and collaborators to an afternoon on ChatGPT & the university.
How does it work? What can it do, and what can it not do? What are some of the ehtical and legal dilemma’s when using this technology? We’ll have some short talks and demonstrations, and plenty of time to answer your questions.With: Prof Raquel Fernández (dialogue systems), Prof Robert van Rooij (semantics), Dr Jelle Zuidema (explainable AI), Dr Jelke Bloem (digital humanities), Dr. Sandro Pezelle (responsible AI), Ece Takmaz (vision-language models), Mario Guilianelli (language generation), and others.
