SICSA REALLM Workshop 2024

Group: Scottish Informatics and Computer Science Alliance (SICSA)
Speaker: SICSA Event, SICSA
Date: 17 October, 2024
Time: 01:00 - 01:00
Location: TBA

Announcing the SICSA Reasoning, Explanation and Applications of Large Language Models (REALLM) Workshop 2024 at Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen. The SICSA REALLM workshop will provide a forum to share exciting research on LLMs. Our goal is to foster connections among SICSA researchers interested in NLP and Generative AI by highlighting and documenting promising approaches, and encouraging further work. We expect to draw interest from AI researchers working in a number of related areas including NLP, ML, reasoning systems, explainable artificial intelligence, conversational AI and applications of generative AI. The SICSA REALLM Workshop Organisation Committee would like to invite submissions of novel theoretical and applied research targeting LLMs. Example submission areas include (but are not limited to): • Novel architectural updates to large language models, including those targeting the integration of reasoning and and retrieval components. • Evaluation and/or explanation of language modelling tasks, including novel metrics or methods for assessing model output. • Applications of LLMs within new domains, including fine-tuning or adaptation of existing models. Accepted papers will be considered for publication through CEUR. Please see the workshop website for further information and submission instructions. Registration for the workshop is free. To register, please complete our registration form. We look forward to welcoming you at RGU!
