Abstract
In recent years, large language models have attracted widespread attention from language researchers, yet how to use them appropriately remains a topic for discussion. This lecture traces the “past” and “present” of large language models to help language researchers make better use of these tools. Drawing on recent research cases from our research group, it explores the integration of artificial intelligence technology with language research.
