Overview
Large Language Models (LLMs), such as GPT-3, ChatGPT, and GPT-4, have revolutionized the field of
AI with their remarkable capabilities in natural language understanding and generation.
LLMs are widely used in various applications such as voice assistants, recommender systems,
content-generation models like ChatGPT, and text-to-image models like Dall-E. However, these
powerful models also pose significant challenges for their safe and ethical deployment. How can
we ensure that LLMs are fair, safe, privacy-preserving, explainable, and controllable?
We are pleased to announce that, for the first time at KDD, we are organizing a dedicated
full-day event---the "Large Language Model Day (LLM Day)." This event aims to provide a platform
for academic researchers and industry practitioners to discuss the latest advances and open
problems in the field of large language models (LLMs). The event will focus on two main themes:
Recent Progress of Foundational LLMs: This theme will highlight the latest advancements in
foundational LLMs and their applications across different domains. It will provide attendees
with insights into the cutting-edge developments and potential applications of LLMs.
Building Trustworthy LLMs: This theme will address the open issues and challenges associated
with building trustworthy LLMs. Topics of discussion will include fairness, safety, privacy
preservation, explainability, and controllability. By tackling these challenges, we aim to
ensure that LLMs are developed and deployed in an ethical and responsible manner.
During the Large Language Model Day, we are excited to host a diverse range of renowned invited
speakers from world-class research institutions. These experts will share their knowledge and
perspectives, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and promoting the exchange of ideas
among participants. Our goal is to contribute to the development and use of LLMs that not only
push the boundaries of AI but also benefit humanity as a whole.
Join us at
KDD 2023
for this special day dedicated to
exploring the vast potential and challenges of large language models. Together, we can shape the
future of AI and ensure its responsible and impactful deployment.
