The Fourth Workshop on Efficient Natural Language and Speech Processing (ENLSP-IV): Highlighting New Architectures for Future Foundation Models

The fourth version of the Efficient Natural Language and Speech Processing (ENLSP-IV) workshop will focus on how to make large language and foundation models more efficient in terms of Architecture, Training, and Inference in their real-world applications. This year, following the trend of industry and academia, we put more emphasis on investigating new architectures to make future language and foundation models more efficient. Moreover, we highlight the importance of comprehensive evaluation and benchmarking new efficient models from different practical aspects. The workshop program offers an interactive platform for gathering experts and talents from academia and industry through invited talks, panel discussion, paper submission, reviews, interactive poster sessions, oral presentations and a couple of mentorship sessions for new researchers. This will be a unique opportunity to discuss and share challenging problems, build connections, exchange ideas and brainstorm, and foster future collaborations. The topics of this workshop can be of interest for people working on general machine learning, deep learning, hardware, optimization, theory and applications.
