The European Association for Data Science (EuADS) has announced that it is organising a summer school dedicated to "Generative AI", at the Maison d'Accueil (Convent of the Franciscan Sisters; 50 Avenue Gaston Diderich, L-1420) in Luxembourg-Belair from Tuesday 18 to Friday 21 June 2024.
EuADS noted that the rise of Generative AI, especially with the advancements in large language models (LLMs), marks a transformative era in artificial intelligence (AI) that is expanding across all disciplines. LLMs aim to bridge the communication gap between machines and humans, paving the way for models that can grasp the nuances of human language and generate outputs in various formats that mimic human cognition and creativity.
According to EuADS, the critical moment for generative AI came with the adoption of neural networks, particularly transformer-based architectures, which have become its backbone. These models stand out for their profound ability to digest and learn from extensive corpora and datasets, and also to generate original, contextually rich content- but this is just the beginning, noted EuADS. The emerging models present challenges related to ethics, reliability, the way we experiment with these models, the scope of their inferences, their applications to more specific domains, etc. All this has created a vibrant field of work and opens the doors to a community that EuADS said it hopes will find the right forum in this summer school.
The summer school will be preceded by a public event on the afternoon/evening of Tuesday 18 June 2024. At the heart of this event is the Sabine-Krolak-Schwerdt-Lecture, in memoriam of EuADS' founding president. This will be held by Peter Flach from the University of Bristol (UK).
