AI tools for research

This presentation provides an overview of AI tools, particularly Large Language Models (LLMs), and their applications in research. Focusing on the capabilities of models like GPT-4, it covers their potential use cases, including writing assistance, coding, entity recognition, and literature review. The presentation highlights how LLMs can enhance productivity in tasks such as drafting, editing, and idea generation, while also addressing limitations like hallucinations and plagiarism concerns. Practical demonstrations of interacting with LLMs through chat interfaces, APIs, and AI copilots are provided, emphasizing the importance of prompt engineering and customization. The talk concludes by noting the rapid advancements in AI tools and their growing role in academic research.
