Title: Working with ChatGPT in R


Date: Thursday, March 9th, 18:00 – 20:00 CET (Rome, Berlin, Paris timezone) 


Speaker: Dariia Mykhailyshyna, PhD Economics student at the University of Bologna. Previously worked at a Ukrainian think tank Centre of Economic Strategy


Description: In this workshop we will learn how you can fully harness the power of ChatGPT to improve your R coding. We will learn how to access ChatGPT directly from R, how to make it write R code, including fairly long and complicated command, debug its (and your) code, translate code from one coding language to another, comment your code, make it more efficient and more! We will also explore some of the drawbacks of ChatGPT and examine when and why you can’t always rely on it.

  1. Good day Darlia, and thank you for your contribution. The introduction states “… how to access ChatGPT directly from R,…”. I am very interested in learning this, but want the bit “directly from R” not RStudio add-in. Please advise if the tutorial will be focused on use of API’s and/or library packages to achieve interaction with ChatGPT.
    Thank you very much, and best regards.

    1. Hi, Thanks for your interest!
      It will include both add-in and other packages that allow to send requests to ChatGPT via commands. You do need an API key to have it work, but it is easy to obtain it. We will also look more generally in what situations related to coding in R ChatGPT is useful and when it is not & how exactly it can help.

      Hope this helps!
