Call for Papers: Workshop on CBR and LLMs

Generated by Gemini

Last year was the most remarkable year in AI that I can recall. Large Language Models (LLMs) like Chat-GPT changed the public perception of AI, and what had previously seemed like science fiction was now a reality. I was only tangentially familiar with LLM research, having been working on emotion recognition in speech with a PhD student. However, last year, I started diving into LLM research in-depth, which, as one commentator said, was like trying to drink water from a fire hydrant, such was the volume of publications through places like arXiv.

I view all problems through a lens coloured by case-based reasoning (CBR), my long-term AI research speciality. I quickly saw synergies between CBR and LLMs where both could benefit from each other's approaches, and I wrote up my initial thoughts and published them on arXiv.

CBR has an annual international conference, and I proposed the idea of a workshop at the conference on CBR-LLM synergies to some colleagues, who all thought this was a great idea and agreed to co-organise the workshop with me. The Case-Based Reasoning and Large Language Models Synergies Workshop will take place at  ICCBR 2024 in Mérida, Yucatán, México on July 1st 2024.
