Large Language Model Workshop

Large Language Models (LLMs) have rapidly evolved into foundational tools across industries and research domains, driving unprecedented advances in natural language understanding, generation, and reasoning. At the same time, their growing scale raises pressing challenges around transparency, safety, fairness, and accountability.

This one-day workshop at Rice University brings together researchers and practitioners to explore the forefront of LLM development — from novel architectures, data curation, and training strategies to interpretability, agentic AI, and human-AI collaboration — while fostering interdisciplinary connections across the broader research community.
