SUMMARY:Masterclass on LLMs for Philosophers
DESCRIPTION:David Strohmaier (Philosopher/Computer Scientist University of 
 Cambridge)Large language models (LLMs)\, such as OpenAI's GPT models\, hav
 e changed our world: LLMs write texts\, summarise information\, and analys
 e data. Claims about their powers and limitations abound. Are they just st
 ochastic parrots or are they black boxes brimming with emergent abilities?
 In this masterclass\, you will be introduced to the transformer architectu
 re that powers all major LLMs. You will interact with transformer models\,
  encounter their internals\, and learn about ways of analysing them. If yo
 u want to gain a better grounding for your research or just want to see wh
 at's behind the headlines\, this masterclass is for you.The masterclass is
  aimed at researchers with little or no prior exposure to the technical de
 tails of LLMs. No knowledge of programming or mathematics beyond multiplic
 ation is required.
