This conference marks the end of the first year of the Chair and will be an opportunity for its members to present their work. The launch will be held on June 30 at 6 p.m. at la librairie universitaire Colbert. </p>\n<h3>Quatrième de couverture</h3>\n<p>Et si la pensée n’était pas une production des sujets humains, mais une émanation de la matière elle-même ? Ce livre remet en question notre conception traditionnelle de l’humain, en explorant comment le sens émerge des interactions matérielles, des formats, des outils, et des pratiques éditoriales. Oubliez l’idée d’une pensée immatérielle : l’auteur démontre que des presses d’imprimerie aux logiciels, en passant par les « mauvais cigares » et les algorithmes, c’est la matière qui est le véritable moteur du sens. Dans ce cadre, l’édition n’est plus une simple pratique, mais elle devient une théorie à part entière, un lieu où la matière révèle sa force de production du sens. Ce livre nous invite à reconsidérer le rôle des « petites mains » et des tâches apparemment triviales dans la production du savoir, car la pensée n’est jamais le fait d’un sujet, mais d’une multitude d’interactions. À l’ère des intelligences artificielles et des textes numériques, cette révolution conceptuelle est indispensable pour comprendre notre rapport au texte et au monde.</p>",

They can’t create anything new!\" This is an idea already mentioned by Turing in his 1950 article (Computer Machinery and intelligence, the \"Ada Lovelace objection\") and which recurs notably in the recent (2021) seminal article “On the Dangers of Stochastic Parrots: Can Language Models Be Too Big?”. But what does \"creative\" mean? What if the question wasn’t whether or not a machine can be creative, but rather to give one or more formal and unambiguous definitions of creativity? In my presentation, I will analyze this hypothesis by focusing on the notion of temperature as implemented in the activation functions (softmax) of LLMs. </p>",

For his second talk, Yann presented the latest results of his thesis project on Philip K. Dick and Cybermeneutics. His student involvement with CSDH was also highlighted. </p>\n<p>Congratulations Yann! </p>",

Several presentations are scheduled during the conference: </p>\n<h2>Pour des implémentations critiques de l’IA en SHS. Peut-on résister au monopole Big Tech ?</h2>\n<p>Speakers: Marcello Vitali-Rosati, Louis-Olivier Brassard, Victor Chaix, Frederic Clavert, Roch Delannay, Giulia Ferretti, Clara Grometto, Servanne Monjour, Nicolas Sauret, Alexia Schneider</p>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-sourcepos=\"1:1-2:257\">L'émergence des LLMs (<em data-sourcepos=\"1:24-1:46\">Large Language Models</em>) et leur utilisation croissante, notamment en contexte universitaire, ouvrent des portes autant qu'elles soulèvent des questions en termes d'éthique et de méthodologie scientifique. Leur bon usage dans le cadre de la recherche dépend d'une implémentation adaptée prenant en compte les besoins d'explicabilité, de transparence, d'ouverture ; une implémentation propice à une compréhension et une analyse critique de leur application.</p>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-sourcepos=\"4:1-5:139\">Ce panel propose de questionner l'usage des LLMs dans le cadre de la recherche en sciences humaines, en particulier ses implémentations dans des environnements d'écriture et de recherche documentaire. Nous allons présenter une série de réflexions théoriques et de projets pilotes developpés dans le cadre du partenariat CRSH Revue 3.0.</p>\n<h2 dir=\"auto\" data-sourcepos=\"4:1-5:139\">Intelligence Artificielle Littéraire - Ancient Greek and New Models</h2>\n<p>Speakers: Yann Audin, William Bouchard, Mathilde, Verstraete, Marcello Vitali-Rosati</p>\n<p>This presentation covers advances on Project IAL - Intelligence artificielle littéraire/Literary Artificial Intelligence which is moving into its second phase. The main goal of IAL is the formalisation of literary definition, which we tried to achieve using classical methods in natural language processing and data mining. However, the results of the first phase made it obvious that the studied concept – epigrammatic variation in the Greek Anthology – involves modelling aspects of the text that go beyond its formal features. We thus introduce the use of Large Language Models trained on Ancient Greek texts to detect synonyms and other literary devices such as narrative structures. We further evaluate our current model on lemmatized Ancient Greek text with the Stanza library developped by StanfordNLP.</p>\n<h2>Computer-Assisted Hermeneutics of Philip K. Dick</h2>\n<p>Speaker: Yann Audin</p>\n<p>In this presentation, Yann Audin unveils a new tool for literary studies. It transforms a literary corpus into a hypertextual database inspired by wikis. This first version uses the SpaCy Python library to recognize named entities, and free applications such as Obsidian and Zettlr to browse the texts of a corpus using cards that group together the use of proper nouns, places, organizations, products, etc. in the corpus under study.</p>\n<h2>Algorithmic Re-Conciliations Between Form and Matter : An Epistemological Reflection</h2>\n<p>Intervenante: Giulia Ferretti</p>\n<p> </p>",
