Happy first day of the Autumn Term! 🍂

I had the pleasure to teach a 3-day crash course on #LLMs for PhD students.

We covered:

1️⃣ Text Representation and Embeddings
2️⃣ Machine Learning & Transformer Architecture
3️⃣ Generative Models for Social Sciences

The 6 slide sets and 10 notebooks are available on github: github.com/nicolaiberk/...

Getting organized for the 2026 CES conference (deadline fast approaching); if you have a paper you're planning to present that is either on 1.) group appeals, or 2.) contemporary sources of social closure, lmk and we can see whether there's enough overlap for a shared panel submission! #polisky
