AI for digital repositories: opportunities and challenges

Recent developments in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Large Language Models (LLM) in particular have disrupted the way we interact with information. The well-annotated and structured data in digital repositories provide valuable input for developing AI models and make the information available to more people in an interconnected way. In this webinar, we discuss (1) use-cases on how to add value to data in digital repositories by using AI technologies, (2) important concepts of LLMs and (3) how the EOSC Data Commons project supports data discovery using AI. We will conclude with two parallel sessions. One session will be a discussion, in which we aim to define the most interesting opportunities and pressing challenges. The second parallel session will be a tutorial with an example on how to make use of repository data with LLM.
