[CLARIN-LIB] Webinar by Javier de la Rosa - Artificial Intelligence Lab (National Library of Norway)

[Martin Wynne]

Those of you who were in Oslo for the last workshop will remember an 
excellent short presentation from Javier de la Rosa, where we got an 
introduction to some of the work going on in the National Library of 
Norway with LLMS. Our colleagues in the Basque Center for Language 
Technology are now offering an opportunity to hear more from Javier next 
week - see below.


We are happy to announce the next webinar in the Language Technology 
webinar series organized by the HiTZ Chair of AI&LT (https://hitz.eus).

Next webinar:

*Speaker:* Javier de la Rosa - Artificial Intelligence Lab (National 
Library of Norway)
*Title:* The Mímir Project: Impact of copyrighted materials in LLMs
*Date: * Thursday, December 12, 2024 - 15:00
*Summary:* The Mímir Project is an initiative by the Norwegian 
government that aims to assess the significance and influence of 
copyrighted materials in the development and performance of generative 
large language models (LLMs) tailored to the Norwegian languages. This 
collaborative effort involves three leading institutions from different 
regions of the country: the National Library of Norway (NB), the 
University of Oslo (UiO), and the Norwegian University of Science and 
Technology (NTNU); each contributing unique expertise in language 
technology, corpus curation, model training, copyright law, and 
computational linguistics. The ultimate goal of the project was to 
gather empirical evidence that informed the formulation of a 
compensation scheme for authors whose works are utilized by these 
advanced artificial intelligence (AI) systems, ensuring that 
intellectual property rights are respected and adequately compensated.

*Bio:* Javier de la Rosa is a Research Scientist at the Artificial 
Intelligence Lab at the National Library of Norway. A former 
Postdoctoral Fellow in Natural Language Processing at UNED, he holds a 
PhD in Hispanic Studies with a specialization in Digital Humanities by 
the University of Western Ontario, and a Masters in Artificial 
Intelligence by the University of Seville. Javier has previously worked 
as a Research Engineer at the Stanford University, and as the Technical 
Lead at the University of Western Ontario CulturePlex Lab. He is 
interested in Natural Language Processing applied to historical and 
literary text, with a special focus on large language models.
