You’ve probably used ChatGPT or other large language models, but do you know how they work? Come to this taster session to find out how the fundamentals of data science affect how chatbots and large language models respond to you, and the surprising reasons why ChatGPT is more like Netflix than it is like Microsoft Word. In the session, we will explore the core ideas behind large language models, using working examples from real data, and discuss the complex social processes that affect what you see and how large language models are produced.
