About Us
BLISS is a student‑led initiative supporting social science researchers in learning, applying, and critically evaluating large language models. We focus on practical skills and responsible use through hands‑on workshops, covering topics like bias, evaluation, and reproducibility. By building an active, cross‑disciplinary community, we connect scholars to share methods, refine research ideas, and advance innovative applications of language models across the social sciences.
Areas of focus
- Ethics: Responsible AI
- Choosing models: Small vs. large language models
- Understanding bias: Hallucinations and evaluation
- Mitigating bias: RAG, knowledge graphs, and error‑correction for scaling
