From Letter Shapes to Large Language Models: Measuring Information and Meaning
Organized by ACSS-PSL Institute with the financial support of PSL Global Seed Fund
This seminar explores how we measure information and meaning, from the fundamental shapes of written letters to the sophisticated capabilities of Large Language Models. The session brings together leading researchers to discuss how computational methods are transforming our understanding of language, text, and information across multiple scales and disciplines.
