Dear Colleagues,
This is a friendly reminder that the deadline for submissions to our workshop
on "Large Language Models (LLMs) in the History, Philosophy, and Sociology of
Science (HPSS)" is fast approaching!
The deadline is December 31, 2024—just two weeks away. To contribute a talk,
please send an abstract of your planned contribution of 300-600 words by e-mail
to [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>. We encourage
every contributor to present on site and to participate in the whole workshop
program. In exceptional cases, we will offer the possibility to present
remotely.
The workshop will focus on exploring use cases and proposals for how, and to
what extent, LLMs might help overcome long-standing challenges in studies of
how science works. The event will take place from April 2–4, 2025, at
Technische Universität Berlin, Germany.
We look for contributions that help resolve questions like these:
How can LLMs help gain new perspectives on long-standing problems in HPSS such
as determining the relevant contexts of knowledge claims, the dynamics of
scientific controversies, problems of incommensurability, and generalizability
of case studies?
How can LLMs handle the specialized language of scientific texts, including
technical jargon, citations, and mathematical formulas?
How can LLMs bridge the gap between qualitative and computational methods and
help overcome their limitations?
How can LLMs be integrated into existing theoretical and methodological
frameworks in HPSS, or how should these frameworks evolve to accommodate
LLM-based analysis?
How can we evaluate the validity of results generated by LLMs, given their
opacity?
How can LLMs account for the temporal development of scientific language and
knowledge over time?

We look forward to your contributions!
