Struggling to efficiently review extensive research literature? Join this hands-on walkthrough workshop to learn how topic modeling and Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) can streamline your literature review process with the help of the open-source tool, Orange 3.

Participants will learn how text analysis capabilities of Orange 3 can speed up and automate literature reviews by analyzing papers without getting bogged down in manual reviews.

No technical or previous experience is required.

 A lithophane is an object for the display of an image in 3D relief. Illuminated from behind, light passes through layers of translucent material, revealing the image in detail. Invented in the early 19th century, and originally made of porcelain or bone china, lithophanes are becoming popular again because of modern 3D printing techniques. 3D printing techniques permit far easier and faster methods for making lithophanes. 

This is an IN-PERSON workshop.

Thank you for your understanding.

This presentation will not be discussing Large Language Models (LLIM) or complex AI systems. And we won’t be building robots from scratch, either. Instead, come join us for a fun and curious look at how we humans can’t help but see life in machines.

Through simple robot demonstrations and interactive moments, participants will explore how easy it is to  project emotions, intentions, and even personalities onto the most basic of robots. This presentation is  a lighthearted dive into the very human habit of treating machines as though they are alive.
