BLISS x dida: Theory Meets Practice #1: Opening the Black Box: A Hands-On Guide to Explainable AI for LLMs
While Large Language Models have demonstrated unprecedented capabilities in reasoning and retrieval, their internal decision-making processes remain largely opaque. As they grow in complexity, treating these models as 'black boxes' is no longer sufficient for building reliable, safe, and transparent systems.

BLISS x InstaDeep: Foundational Models for Genomics: Decoding Genomic Sequences
Genomics foundation models have emerged as powerful tools to decode the human genome and understand how genetic variants affect disease and traits. In this hands-on workshop, we will provide an overview of how these models learn the regulatory code of the genome, discuss specific models and applications, and get hands-on experience implementing them.
