UNESCO Chair on Digital Methods for the Humanities and Social Sciences

Abstract

The Open Access (OA) movement is quite complex: it involves diverse principles, models, and policy frameworks. The goal of this presentation is to introduce learners to the origins and evolution of Open Access and provide insights into its objectives and global impact. We will progress into the following chapters and end with a Q&A interactive session:

• the historical development of the Open Access movement;
• key milestones and activities of specific pioneers that helped structure the movement;
• Terminology and concepts of Open Access models

Audience: Current students and alumni of our MSc in Digital Methods for the Humanities program, who bring diverse perspectives and a keen interest in the intersection of technology and the humanities. Post graduate students who have never heard about OA and AUEB staff.

Format: 1-hour long followed by a Q&A session

Possible topics: The OA routes for beginners

Françoise Gouzi is working as Open Science Officer at DARIAH-EU. She is responsible for fostering and implementing Open Science practices across the DARIAH network. She contributes to the design and implementation of open science policy statements, guidelines and services related to the open dissemination of research results in the humanities.

ΑΙ@AUEB talk, Friday 10 November, 16:15-17:45 (Greek time)

Speaker: Ion Androutsopoulos (https://www.aueb.gr/users/ion/)

Title: "An Introduction to Deep Learning for Natural Language Processing -- from word embeddings to ChatGPT"

Room: T203, Troias building (2 Troias St.) and virtually via MS Teams:

https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3aOiYUJgd5vTDTv9p0FnXvTdZ9TTZxIBRHwZzEpD02P-Y1%40thread.tacv2/1698736417858?context=%7b%22Tid%22%3a%22ad5ba4a2-7857-4ea1-895e-b3d5207a174f%22%2c%22Oid%22%3a%225b49c8b5-6801-409c-a8f8-6e18215b3a08%22%7d

Abstract:
Like most areas of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Natural Language Processing (NLP) has been transformed by Deep Learning and has produced impressive results, most recently with systems based on large language models, like ChatGPT. This talk will provide a gentle introduction to key concepts of modern NLP, including word embeddings, Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), Transformers, encoder-decoder models. It will also provide examples of applications, such as information extraction from documents, filtering toxic posts on social media, legal judgment prediction, machine translation, image captioning, and code generation.

This will be a slightly extended English version of a talk given in Greek to the HIAS Universal AI summer school (Greek video available at https://www.youtube.com/@hellenic-ias/streams -- day 3, 4:05:00 to 5:12:00).
