Join the AI User Group on Friday, September 13 from 12:00 to 1:00 PM. All Research Park events are free; however, registration is required to ensure that we have adequate seating and food for all participants: https://forms.illinois.edu/sec/1635161783
This user group will welcome Volodymyr Kindratenko, Director of the Center for Artificial Intelligence Innovation at NCSA, who will be presenting "From Chatbots to Scientific Computing- Workflow Management with Large Language Models." The presentation will cover the array of LLM-based tools created at NCSA, their diverse applications, and the practical ways in which they have been implemented. Additionally, it will address the challenges encountered in the process of working with LLMs.
The aim of the user group is to build a community of interest around data + AI to foster learning, collaboration, and networking. The group will serve both students and professionals to bridge the gap between the analytical sciences and practical applications of industry.
