Description
This SGSAH Discipline+ Catalyst training event is for doctoral research students who are based at SGSAH universities who want to learn some of the fundamentals of reading and critically assessing programming code, understand how to use generative AI in the form of large language models (LLMs) to generate and manipulate code, and explore simple workflows for building simple digital artefacts and tools without becoming full‑fledged programmers.Large language models are increasingly integrated into many of the websites and software applications around us. Generative AI is a topic of much debate, especially in education contexts, but in the humanities this is often primarily focused on using these tools for direct knowledge queries and in the writing process. Beyond this, however, LLMs have a lot to offer researchers in the humanities who want to engage with a world of coding and computational approaches. This workshop helps you develop a foundational knowledge around key technologies: how to begin using LLMs to create code and digital objects, manipulate files on the command line, and understand some of the limitations and challenges you are likely to encounter.
Participants do not require any specific previous experience related to programming, design, or the digital humanities but will be asked to bring a laptop and charger with them to the event.
