The CDS Brown Bag HS23 will be dedicated to the topic of Large Language Models for the Behavioral Sciences.

Language models like GPT-4 and co. are set to transform how we conduct research and acquire knowledge. In the HS23 CDS Colloquium, we're diving deep into the exciting opportunities and critical challenges associated with these models. We're keen on understanding how these tools can enhance teaching and research in behavioral sciences, covering a spectrum of applications from clinical and educational realms to many other professional settings. In addition, we'll tackle head-on the crucial issues of bias, inequality, and fairness that come along with these applications. To provide a practical, hands-on approach, we're setting up a series of bootcamps covering the research cycle to better comprehend the practical implications and uses of large language models.

The CDS Brown Bag HS22 was dedicated to the topic of Science Communication: Conveying Evidence, Risk, and Uncertainty.

The communication of scientific evidence has become of imperative interest given the backdrop of recent and anticipated financial, health, and ecological crises that require evidence-based decisions. This semester's program is concerned with both theoretical and practical efforts to improve science communication and public engagement with science with respect to communicating evidence, risk, and uncertainty.
