Corrección, estilo y variaciones de la lengua española
¿Le interesa el idioma español y se preocupa por la corrección, el estilo y las variaciones de la lengua española? ¿Siente curiosidad acerca de las variaciones española y argentina o americana del Español estudiadas en textos cultos de referencia? En este curso se estudian empíricamente algunos aspectos relevantes de esas variedades de la lengua con datos significativos de las versiones hispanas de J. D. Salinger: «El cazador oculto», argentinas; y «El guardián entre el centeno», españolas. Las Encuestas de Evaluación de la edición anterior (http://bit.ly/1QYPAJI) permiten hacerse una idea cabal de las consideraciones que ha merecido el curso. En este curso, con una consideración policéntrica de la lengua, se pretende activar o potenciar el interés por la corrección de los textos propios y ajenos; por las diferencias de estilo en dos versiones de G. V. Higgins; y por las variedades peninsular y argentina o americana de la lengua española en las diferentes versiones de J.D. Salinger. La finalidad del curso es doble. Ante un texto ajeno suscitar el interés sobre lo que se dice; y sobre cómo se diría mejor: con más claridad, con más precisión, con más propiedad, con un ‘estilo’ de mayor calidad argumentada lingüísticamente. Y, ante un texto propio, suscitar la preocupación sobre cómo decir mejor lo que se pretende: con más claridad, de manera unívoca; con más precisión; con gusto más general y sancionado; con ‘estilo’ de mejor consideración. Finalizar este curso le permitirá: 1. Primero, identificar, advertir y argumentar las posibles inconvenientes (sin prestigio) de expresión en textos de autores españoles. 2. Segundo, estudiar y evaluar las alternativas y variaciones (¿de estilo?) entre dos versiones españolas actuales de «Los amigos de Eddie Coyle», de G. V. Higgins (1973 [El Chivato] frete a la versión de 2011), 3. Tercero, estudiar y evaluar empíricamente algunos aspectos significativos de las alternativas y variaciones del español en España y en Argentina con datos de las cuatro versiones en español de J. D. Salinger («El guardián entre el centeno», versiones españolas de 1978 y de 2007; y «El cazador oculto», versiones argentinas de 1961 y de 1998). Estos dos últimos objetivos tiene más valor por dos motivos: • Los textos de observación cumplen, sin duda, una condición esencial en el análisis y evaluación empírica lingüística: la condición de la ‘paráfrasis’: real (con diferencias de estilo, en los textos de Higgins) o alternativa (con variaciones de lengua, argentina y americana, o bien peninsular, en las versiones de Salinger), que dicen, o pretenden decir lo dicho en el texto fuente. • Las versiones de ‘El guardián…’ / ‘El cazador…’, desde distintos asuntos permiten referirse a las variaciones de lengua según los diferentes momentos de la versión o según la variedad territorial de lengua. No es un curso sobre datos. Es un curso que, con algunos datos, opera sobre la competencia en advertir inconvenientes o aciertos expresivos y sobre la valoración y argumentación de diferentes alternativas de expresión y de algunas manifestaciones de la variedad argentina y española de lengua.

Building Toward Computer Use with Anthropic
Building Towards Computer Use with Anthropic introduces an innovative capability from Anthropic that enables models to interact with and navigate computer interfaces. Taught by Colt Steele, Anthropic’s Head of Curriculum, this course covers Anthropic’s family of models and the building blocks that lead to the amazing new application – Computer Use. Computer Use utilizes the capabilities of the latest models including image reasoning and tool use to enable an LLM-based agent to use a computer. Like a human user, the model processes an image of the screen, analyzes it to understand what’s going on, and navigates the computer by issuing mouse clicks and generating keyboard strokes to get things done. In this course, you’ll learn the features that lead up to computer use from working with the Anthropic’s API, to multimodal prompting, prompt caching, and tool use, ending in a demo that combines these features to build an AI assistant that uses a computer. In detail, you’ll: 1. Learn Anthropic’s approach to AI research, principles of AI safety, alignment, and interpretability while understanding the key differences between its models. 2. Make API requests to Claude, format messages for better responses, and control API parameters like system prompts, temperature, and max tokens for optimal responses. 3. Write multi-modal prompts that combine text and image content blocks and build with streaming responses. 4. Learn effective prompting techniques such as using prompt templates, structuring prompts in XML, and providing examples to get consistent high-quality responses. 5. Learn to implement prompt caching and see how it can reduce costs and latency. 6. Understand tool-use workflows and build a chatbot that can call different tools in response to users’ queries. 7. See all these concepts come together in a demo that uses Anthropic Computer Use to achieve a task on a computer. Start utilizing Anthropic’s family of models to build towards Computer Use applications.
