Using AI for Thematic Analysis: Analyzing Coroner Reports with LLMs

In the United Kingdom, Prevention of Future Deaths forms (PFDs) play a crucial role in ensuring public safety. This is a special type of coroner report that documents more than just the circumstances of an individual’s death. PFDs are issued when a coroner investigates a death and rules that a specific risk or systemic failure—deemed as preventable—has played a significant role in said death.

Marking a Milestone: Four Years of Daily Study Groups

Four years ago, as the COVID pandemic wreaked havoc to class and event schedules, instructors and organizations were scrambling to create meaningful learning opportunities for students. In April 2020, Stephen Wolfram challenged the Wolfram U team to establish a unique online program for building computational skills with Daily Study Groups. The program was enthusiastically received by learners of all ages, and, after recently completing our 50th Daily Study Group, this is the perfect time to reflect on the program, celebrate a milestone and look ahead to future developments.
