Abstract

In this UDM AI workshops series, four workshops are scheduled ahead of the summer break, each focusing on a distinct aspect of applied AI. In this particular session, we will focus on Large Language Models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, Claude, and others. We will explore their practical uses across the research pipeline, from literature reviews to data analysis, and even code generation. Participants will gain insights into the tools that can enhance their research productivity, alongside essential guidance on the legal and ethical use of AI. Importantly, participants will also have the opportunity to test these tools firsthand, compare their functionalities, and assess the strengths and limitations of each depending on specific research needs and use cases.

Biography

The UDM Department is excited to announce the launch of a series of practical, hands-on AI workshops starting in May 2025, open to all LISER staff.

• No prior experience with AI required;
• No software installation required;
• Just bring your curiosity and your laptop!

These interactive sessions are designed to provide a collaborative and accessible introduction to AI tools and techniques, using real-world research scenarios to demonstrate their value and impact.

This initiative is part of a broader effort to enhance AI literacy across LISER and empower staff with practical, research-relevant skills.

Additional information:

• Seats are limited, so we strongly encourage early registration to secure your spot.
• The sessions will be recorded;
• Training materials will be stored in a shared folder accessible to all LISER staff;
• Materials will include step-by-step guides, datasets, and tools for further practice;
• Who can benefit most: staff who are not familiar with AI tools for research or daily work.

Join us in exploring how AI can enhance your work and open new possibilities for research and communication. We look forward to seeing you there!
