LLM Literacy for Computational Scientists
A virtual discussion series for building intuition around large language models (LLMs) — no machine learning background required, just curiosity.
What You’ll Get
Each session works through a paper, walks through concrete examples, and discusses the underlying concepts — without diving deep into the math. By the end of the series, you’ll have a working intuition for how LLMs are built, trained, and used.
Who Should Attend
Anyone curious about LLMs, regardless of technical background. No prior machine learning experience is needed — just curiosity.
Series Details
This is Part 3 of a 4-part series running weekly on Fridays from 1–2 PM ET, September 25 through October 16, 2026. One $10 registration covers all four sessions.
