Making Sense of ChatGPT - Understanding the technology, its limitations and opportunities
March 10, 2023
Recent Artificial Intelligence (AI) models such as ChatGPT have captured the imagination of the public on the recent advances of the field, sparking a debate on the potential applications and implications of this technology.
The event is dedicated to the discussion of Large Neural Language Models, the underlying framework behind systems such as ChatPGT. In the workshop we will aim to answer some critical questions about the principles behind these models and the associated challenges, emerging applications and opportunities that this technology brings.
The workshop is targeted towards academic and industrial participants willing to understand how these models work, their strengths, limitations and general societal impact.

Valais/Wallis AI Workshop 5th edition: Interpreting Machine Learning
May 3, 2019
Machine learning has become an integral part of many fields of research and has achieved considerable success. Despite continued advancements made, it is not always explainable: (a) what information is the machine learning from the data? and (b) how is the machine making the decisions? The 5th edition of Valais/Wallis AI workshop focuses on these questions by engaging researchers from various fields through presentations and discussions.
