How are large language models changing the way we work with documents? Dr. Falko Baustian, scientific lead of SPOC-AI at the University of Rostock, writes about this in the current issue of the Bunsen-Magazin, the members’ journal of the German Bunsen Society for Physical Chemistry. The article is based on his talk at the AI colloquium of the University of Rostock.
In the joint project SPOC-AI, PLANET AI, ALTOW Digital Innovation and the University of Rostock (CITlab) are developing AI assistance systems for document-based processes. The article presents three research questions: how to detect hallucinations in language models, how to adapt models to specific tasks and how they can draw on external knowledge sources.
The article is open access: SPOC-AI: How Large Language Models change the Future of Document Processing (Bunsen-Magazin 2026, issue 6, pp. 142–144). More about the project on our research projects page and in the press release on the project launch.
