Exploring Data Storytelling with Large Language Models

Explore the power of storytelling and data analysis. Whether you are a digital humanities researcher, a scientist, a business analyst, or just someone curious about the future of Human-AI collaboration, you will learn how to take the driver’s seat and work with Large Language Models to analyze datasets, uncover hidden patterns, and craft stories that captivate and inform.

In this workshop with Dr. Tommy Xie, Director of the Fredrickson Family Innovation Lab, we will discuss a variety of topics including the strengths and weaknesses of LLMs as a data analytics tool, knowledge- and context-driven prompt engineering,  assessment methods of LLM outputs, and ways to discern and minimize hallucination. Additionally, we will address strategies to transform analytics into compelling narratives and leverage the human-AI collaboration to grow your data literacy.

The workshop will be delivered in a hybrid format - in person and online. A Zoom link will be distributed to the registered participants an hour before the event.
