This workshop introduces a conversational approach to AI that distinguishes it from typical AI tutorials. Participants will learn to engage with AI as a conversational thought partner, throughout the research process - from initial concept formation to publication.
The practical workshop provides hands-on experience with:
The session emphasizes a collaborative, enjoyable approach - you'll leave with new skills and have fun acquiring them! Participants should bring laptops for guided practice.
Previous attendees have noted: "You need this course" and "Even if you think you know enough about AI to be productive, this class adds a lot of value."

Ancient Greeks first considered relations between personality and psychopathology, postulating that four humors underlay temperament and imbalances among them led to such conditions as melancholia. Freudian theory also linked personality and psychopathology, but the modern history of their relations began in the 1980s, when accumulating evidence established that the co occurrence of different mental disorders within the same individual was a pervasive problem in psychopathology. In response, researchers began to develop quantitative structural models to summarize observed patterns of co-occurrence. It soon became clear that basic dimensions of individual differences, such as the domains and facets subsumed within the five-factor model of personality, represented important transdiagnostic factors that should be incorporated into these models. In our workshop, we describe the evolution of quantitative structural models of psychopathology, emphasizing the role of personality traits in shaping them. We review early models that identified common and specific factors within anxiety and depression. We then consider more complex models that subsume broader areas of psychopathology. Finally, we discuss how traits provide an organizing framework in prominent contemporary models, including the Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology (HiTOP), the Alternative Model for Personality Disorders (AMPD) in DSM-5 and the classification scheme for personality disorder in ICD-11.
