Enhancing Research Data Workflows for and with AI


The Helmholtz Metadata Collaboration (HMC) and the Helmholtz Open Science Office invite you to the second iteration of the Helmholtz Research Data Commons, this time focussing on: Enhancing Research Data Workflows for and with AI. In this online event, colleagues from the AI team at the Jülich Supercomputing Center will provide practical insights into preparing research data for AI and showcase their AI tool BLABLADOR, a free and privacy-aware Helmholtz AI LLM service, and its possible applications in research data analysis. The event will include an open discussion round on the topic with the speakers, which everyone is invited to participate in.
