Leiden Science’s monthly dose of research inspiration from our staff, for our staff and all other curious minds. On Tuesday 12 November, Suzan Verberne, professor of Natural Language Processing, will give an interesting lecture!
The role of truth in Large Language Models
ChatGPT is used for many different purposes: as a writing assistant, as a programming assistant, to get inspiration for creative tasks, and to find information. The rise of Large Language Models (LLMs) has had a huge impact on the interaction of users with information. In this presentation I will discuss issues of misinformation and bias in Large Language Models. I will introduce where these problems come from, how we can measure them, and what their implications are. I will follow-up with recommendations for responsible research with LLMs and the importance of keeping the human in the loop.
