Large Language Models Workshop Jan 12-13, 2026

Challenges & Opportunities for Real World Applications of Foundation Models Open to Lehigh University faculty, post-docs and graduate students. Registration required by: 12.31.25 AI transformation, large language models (LLMs) and other foundation models have become central to diverse applications, spanning natural language processing to computer vision. These models, with their immense potential, are revolutionizing research and society but their application in real-world settings poses some challenges. This workshop explores the lessons learnt from deployment of such models in the domains of robotics, human-centric applications, cyber physical systems, healthcare and finance, as well as discussing techniques that have been explored to adapt foundation models so that they can be ready for real deployments in these domains.
