Hi! PARIS Reading groups “Generative AI”
The Hi! PARIS reading groups propose to study a topic using scientific articles on a theoretical and a practical point of view. The reading groups are opportunities of interaction between our corporate donors and our affiliates academic teams around selected topics of interest.
Each Edition is planned for 2-4 sessions presenting one topic by the mean of 3-4 research papers. For each session: presentation of mathematical models and theoretical advances by a researcher + simulations with a Python notebook by an engineer.

Generative AI
Generative models are now a powerful tool for many applications in Artificial Intelligence such as Natural Language Processing (Chat GPT, Google Bard) or image and video generation. Of course, these applications entail ethical and societal applications. The objective of this reading group is to provide a general overview of the generative models used for these two popular applications on one hand, and to discuss the challenges involved by their developement on the other hand.
The reading group will be divided in three sessions in which we will present each of these topics.

Chain-of-thought prompting elicits reasoning in large language models.
Paper
This paper explores the concept of chain-of-thought in large language model, which consists in making explicit intermediate reasoning steps before giving the final answer.
