Mini-workshop - Analyzing and creating text with computers
Description
How can computers participate in our attempts to write creatively? Is recent progress in artificial intelligence and in the field of ‘natural language processing’ making a difference? During this workshop, we will experiment with writing and how computers can analyze and generate text. You will first write short pieces of text given a prompt, which we’ll then analyze in terms of style and content. Using the same prompt, we will then see how well computers can write, and if you’re able to distinguish a text written by a human from one written by a machine. Be ready to be involved, intrigued by, and amazed at what the latest algorithms and computer models are capable of when it comes to language!
