Silent Disco: Interrogating a National Narrative with GPT-2 (large-scale corpus)
Online
Our 'Silent Disco' workshops are based on tutorials from the Programming Historian website. This training event will follow content from the tutorial, Interrogating a National Narrative with GPT-2
This tutorial will teach you how to apply Generative Pre-trained Transformer 2 (GPT-2), one of the largest existing open-source language models, to a large-scale text corpus in order to produce automatically written responses to prompts based on the contents of the corpora.
This is a self-paced event: when taking part, you will work through the tutorial at your own pace with an instructor available online to help you with any issues.
Participants will work on the tutorial at their own pace. The facilitator will be available via Teams Chat to reply to any questions that arise during the workshop, and to help with installation, troubleshooting or other issues.
This is an advanced-level workshop. You will need a basic understanding of Python and how to run Python code and some basic knowledge of how text analysis works.
To attend this course, you will have to join the associated Microsoft Teams group. The link to join the group will be sent to attendees prior to the course start date, so please make sure to do so in advance.
After taking part in this event, you may decide that you need some further help in applying what you have learnt to your research. If so, you can book a Data Surgery meeting with one of our training fellows.
