FAIR Science Café

What is FAIR Science Café?

FAIR Science Café is a informal and interactive online event where researchers get to talk about their work, research, and results in their own words. The discussion also highlights the data used, produced, and possibly openly available in the research.

Event aims:

• To provide researchers with a forum for presenting their research
• To increase understanding of research work and related data
• To promote open science and the implementation of FAIR principles
• To enable dialogue between researchers and the public

The events are held in a relaxed, café-like atmosphere where discussion and questions are warmly welcomed.

The speaker at November’s FAIR Science Café is Tomasz Galica who is working as a postdoctoral researcher in the TurkuNLP group.

TurkuNLP group does research on various aspects of natural language processing / language technology and digital linguistics, ranging from corpus annotation and analysis to machine learning theory and applications and Large Language Models for Finnish and other languages. Tomasz Galica also carries out research within OpenEuroLLM and LLMs4EU projects.

In this FAIR Science Café you will hear researcher Tomasz Galica telling about:

• His work in developing and evaluating the language models
• The data they are using as training datasets
• What are the challenges? (e.g. risk of representativeness of the data and the possible bias of language models)
• Open-source models democratizing access to AI technologies

The event is suitable for anyone who is interested in hearing about developing language models for transparent AI and about NLP:s. Join us for coffee, conversation, and discussion! Register and you will receive a link to participate in your email.

The event will be held in English.
