Workshop on Large Language Models for the History, Philosophy, and Sociology of Science

Event date:

2 April 2025 - 4 April 2025

Location: Hybrid: online and at the Technische Universität Berlin, Germany.

This three-day workshop will feature two keynote presentations, alongside 16 contributed short talks - one by DANS colleagues - focusing on the potential of large language models (LLMs) to address long-standing challenges in the history, philosophy, and sociology of science (HPSS). Participants will explore use cases and proposals for integrating LLMs into HPSS research.

This workshop raised a lot of awareness, so we proudly report that a presentation from Philipp Mayr (GESIS), together with Slava Tykhonov, Jetze Touber, and Andrea Scharnhorst (DANS) was accepted. In the presentation “Chatting with Papers – the mixed use of LLM’s and semantic artefacts to support the understanding of science dynamics” we demonstrate a new workflow (Ghostwriter – a local AI+SKOSMOS solution) that can be applied for information spaces locally defined. We demonstrate the use of such a new information retrieval tool to unravel hidden processes in the dynamics of the sciences and also discuss how it can be used to enhance interfaces to arbitrary collections.

The workshop is a hybrid event, free and open to the public, but registration is greatly appreciated. More information can also be found here.
