Hi everyone
Last chance for the upcoming 1-day seminar on Tuning LLMs for Text Analysis, livestreaming December 16 and led by professor Seraphine Maerz from the University of Melbourne. As large language models reshape scholarship across disciplines, this workshop equips researchers to fine-tune domain-specific LLMs for classification, sentiment, entity extraction, and topic modeling with higher accuracy and lower annotation cost. Blending concise conceptual overviews with step-by-step Jupyter/Colab notebooks in both Python and R, participants will gain hands-on experience preparing data, applying parameter-efficient methods like LoRA, evaluating performance, and implementing reproducibility best practices-no prior coding expertise required. You'll finish the day with reusable code, clear decision rules for when to fine-tune versus prompt-engineer, and the methodological confidence to extract robust insights from your texts.
Sign up today to secure your spot, and feel free to share this opportunity with colleagues and students who might benefit.
Best wishes
