This first hour of Ethan C. Busby’s "Using LLMs for Social Science Research" seminar introduces the fundamentals. About this Seminar This course offers social scientists a hands-on introduction to using large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Deepseek, and Llama in applied research. You’ll learn essential prompt engineering skills and how to use LLMs in three key areas: coding open-ended survey responses, generating synthetic samples, and serving as treatments in randomized experiments. The seminar also covers LLM types, public and API-based interfaces, and the tradeoffs between prompting and fine-tuning. Designed for researchers without advanced programming skills, the course includes practical exercises to help you integrate LLMs into your own work. Whether you're a social scientist, behavioral researcher, or data analyst, this seminar provides the foundation to start using LLMs effectively in your projects.
