“SLLM- Buck The Trend: Make LLMs Specific and Reduce the Cost of Intelligence”- In this workshop, we focus on pushing the trend of data-hungry to data-efficient LLM generation that can perform useful tasks neatly with much lesser cost. Such research efforts will certainly beckon towards democratizing the design and development of LLMs. It seems that the current focus is to build bigger and grander LLMs with more than trillion parameters that are realized through unprecedented infrastructural and computational resources along with substantial investment support. A parallel endeavour is required to look into building models that are more computing friendly, energy efficient and do not demand huge volume of data for learning.
Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference.
Please submit your paper following ECAI LaTeX template (https://ecai2024.eu/download/ecai-template.zip) and ECAI 2025 paper submission guidelines.
Please submit the paper at:
https://easychair.org/conferences?conf=sllm25
Papers must be written in English, be prepared for double-blind review using the ECAI LaTeX template, and not exceed 7 pages (plus at most 1 extra page for references). Excessive use of typesetting tricks to make things fit is not permitted. Please do not modify the style files or layout parameters. Registering an abstract of your paper (of around 100-300 words in plain text) is required in advance of the paper submission deadline and you will be asked to provide additional information (such as keywords) at that time. Please do not leave things to the very last moment; you can resubmit any number of times until the submission deadline.
