  • FDS Workshop: AI for Social Science Research Methods

    Social scientists are increasingly incorporating AI into their designs, data collection, analyses, and workflows. Alongside rapid adoption, important methodological questions remain: What are the principled approaches to validating measurements via AI tools? To what extent are AI-generated observations interchangeable with those from human respondents — and what does that mean for the future of survey…

  • FDS Colloquium: Jon Kleinberg (Cornell), “AI’s Models of the World, and Ours”

    Abstract: Recent work on generative AI and large language models (LLMs) has addressed the simultaneous challenge of evaluating an AI system’s explicit behavior at one level and its implicit representations of the world at another. Such distinctions become crucial as people interact with powerful AI systems, where a mismatch between the system’s model of the…

  • FDS Workshop: AI for Scientific Discovery

    Recent advances in generative AI are reshaping how we design and discover mathematical and scientific artifacts. Problems in mathematics, engineering, and the sciences have recently been solved by systems that use LLMs to evolve search and optimization algorithms. If you can specify what you are looking for, they can help you find it. Concretely, LLM-guided…

  • FDS Seminar: Greg Holste (UT Austin), “Bridging the Gap: Building Medical AI that Meets Clinical Reality”

    Zoom Password: 123 Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) has enabled breakthroughs in the analysis of medical images, electronic health records, and diverse sources of health data. However, most medical AI systems can only answer narrow questions like “Does this patient have based on this single image?” This framing fails to capture how medicine is actually practiced.…

  • AI/Journalism Talk, Zach Seward (NY Times) Hosted by Carl Zimmer

    Abtract: Carl Zimmer will be hosting a lecture by Zach Seward, Editorial Director of A.I. Initiatives at the New York Times. The newspaper has been developing a lot of innovative methods to use artificial intelligence to investigate vast amounts of data in search of breaking news. Seward will talk about this new field of research, and also…
