TDAI is excited to offer a new hands-on workshop series for OSU researchers, AI in Your Research, designed to help academic researchers integrate cutting-edge AI tools into their scholarly work. The first session focuses on Generative AI in Your Research. This interactive, application-focused workshop will guide participants through the technical details of using Large Language Models (LLMs) in research by building a tool to enhance and streamline the academic literature review process. Participants will work directly in Python environments with access to commercial LLMs. Key topics covered:
- Understanding the transformer architecture behind modern LLMs
- Overview of commercial and open-source LLMs, including cost comparisons
- Ethical and security considerations for using LLMs in research
- Prompt engineering best practices
- Processing and formatting documents for effective LLM ingestion
- Hands-on tutorials for working with LLMs in Python
- Setting up Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to overcome document length limitations
- Techniques for summarizing articles, identifying connections across papers (authors, references, methods), and uncovering key themes
- Constructing a knowledge graph to visualize and interpret findings
The workshop starts at 10 am and goes until 5 pm with an hour break for lunch. We will be available at 9 am for any troubleshooting related to the workshop material, which will be sent out the day before.
