AI Spark – Opening the Black Box: Unlocking the Mystery of Large Language Models
U of A Campus Store, lower-level
Ever wonder what's actually happening inside tools like ChatGPT and Claude? Join the School of Electrical, Computer, and Software Engineering for this AI SPARK Workshop as we go beyond the hype and dive into the real foundations of large language models – the math, the probability, and the patterns that make them work. No magic. No black box. Just clarity.
Worried about what AI means for your job or the world around you? Understanding how these systems actually work is the first step to using them wisely instead of fearing them.
Open to U of A students, faculty and staff. Free food and light refreshments included!
Hosted by ECSE assistant professors Huanrui Yang and Jyotikrishna Dass.
