Text generation tutorial

Are you a social scientist or humanist interested in using text generation to learn about a particular dataset? I’ve created a Colab tutorial on fine-tuning models for text generation (in English), aimed at researchers from fields outside of natural language processing and machine learning. Code from this project was created during my fellowship with the New York Botanical Gardens, in Summer 2022.

Large Language Models

Also with humanists and social scientists in mind, I’ve curated a list of my favorite video introductions, visual explanations, and academic papers for learning about LLMs. These resources were collected specifically for researchers without traditional computer science or natural language processing training. Up until my PhD, my formal training has been in the humanities (literature and film studies) so these resources reflect what I’ve found most helpful. They are non-exhaustive, and I welcome suggestions for what might be added.
