🚀 Unlocking New Frontiers: Large Language Models in Humanities and Social Sciences On June 10, 4POINT0 organized a session at the International Schumpeter Society Conference (ISS2024). The conference took place in Gothenburg, Sweden, and was hosted by Maureen McKelvey, 4POINT0 Advisory Board member and ISS President. The session was organized and moderated by Catherine Beaudry, 4POINT0 Director. The remarkable advancements in AI model capabilities have led to significant progress in text synthesis and diverse downstream Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks. This evolution presents a substantial opportunity for researchers in the fields of Humanities and Social Sciences. This session aimed to illuminate the potential of LLMs and guide researchers on how to effectively integrate these tools into their work, opening new avenues for research and discovery in these dynamic fields. 📽 You can watch a replay of this insightful session here: https://lnkd.in/gkcJRthX Speakers & Presentations: ‣ Generative AI - Opportunities and Challenges  Arash Hajikhani, Research Team Leader, VTT Technical Research Centre, Finland ‣ Generative AI and ML - A paradigm change?
