Behind the scenes with the OED AI Quotations Finder
When: Thursday, October 08, 2026 · 09:00 AM – 10:15 AM BST | 01:30 PM

An AI-powered tool is now available for some OED entries, which can be
used to supply more examples of the sense if desired: the OED AI
Quotations Finder.
Launching in beta, it works by using an LLM (Large Language Model) to
interpret potential quotations from the EarlyPrint corpus and assign
them to the corresponding OED sense.
Join the team behind the tool for a talk where they will:
- Showcase the OED AI Quotations Finder
- Explain the reasons behind its creation
- Give the audience a peek behind the scenes of its development
- Answer questions from the audience
Please note that this event will be recorded, and all registrants will
be notified once the recording is available for viewing.
