We wrote an article on the perils and challenges of using LLMs to simulate humans or social interactions: https://sociologica.unibo.it/article/view/19576 It's a part of a special issue of Sociologica (check it out!). Our main point is that, while tempting, using LLMs to simulate users is not such a great idea and it rests on top of many problematic assumptions. it's very tempting and we're afraid it might grow rapidly
Peter Smith has blogged about his PhD placement with us at the #BritishLibrary - read here about his work with eScriptorium to improve Chinese HTR models (binarisation, segmentation, transcription), working closely with Colin Brisson (EPHE).
