About this Event
AI Tools Series
AI large language models have demonstrated rapid performance progress in the last few years across reasoning, coding, and domain-specific research benchmarks — including Abstract Reasoning (ARC), Coding (SWE-Bench), and Graduate-Level Academic Disciplines (GPQA Diamond). For researchers and learners at all levels the critical question is which model best fits their specific research, learning needs, and academic disciplinary contexts.
This workshop dives deep into the current AI LLM benchmark landscape, examining use cases for both academic research and learning. Participants will review recent top benchmarks against the current top global LLM models, including both Western and open-source Chinese models, exploring various models' unique affordances, strengths, and limitations. The session will be valuable for researchers at all levels — students, faculty, and staff — who want to make informed decisions about which models to integrate into their research and learning workflows.
Beyond model selection, the workshop will offer practical recommendations for working with models across a range of research and learning tasks, including strategies for human/AI collaboration and obtaining strong results through cross-model meta-analysis, synthesis of research and data, and report-based and data-driven visualization.
