AI & Large Language Models

The Accelerate Programme for Scientific Discovery, based in the Department of Computer Science and Technology, offers support for researchers across the University to use AI in their research. We are pleased to announce that our AI training courses & workshops for this term are open for booking!

Join us for courses exploring key topics in AI as well as hands-on workshops to apply your AI skills. 

AI & Large Language Models

This is a 1-day workshop designed to equip you with knowledge of large language models (LLMs) for use in scientific research. The course will introduce LLMs and how they work. Next, we’ll discuss approaches to prompting and RAG, along with the methods that are used to finetune LLMs. The day concludes by covering responsible use and the landscape of models that are available to researchers with some of their pros and cons. After taking this workshop, you will be more confident to take the first steps in using LLMs in your own research.

Open to all postgraduate students and staff, our courses are designed to support you at all stages of implementing AI in your research. 

Registration is required to attend. Lunch will be provided with the opportunity for networking during the breaks.
