(Apologies for cross-posting)

The 4th NeurIPS ENLSP 2024 workshop on "Efficient Natural Language & Speech Processing: Highlighting New Architectures for Future Foundation Models" is now open for submissions! If your research aims to enhance the efficiency of large language and foundation models in architecture, training, and inference for real-world applications, we invite you to submit your work to this workshop and please feel free to share it with your network.

*Call For Paper*

The scope of this workshop includes, but not limited to, the following topics:

Efficient Architectures and Models 🧠 Efficient Training (pre-training & fine-tuning) ⚡ Efficient Inference 📈 Evaluation and Benchmarking of Efficient Models 📊 Efficient Solutions in Other Modalities and Applications 🌐

Efficiency of foundational or pre-trained models in multi-modal set-up and other modalities (beyond NLP and Speech) such as biology, chemistry, computer vision, and time series

Efficient representations (e.g. Matryoshka representation) and models in dense retrieval and search

Efficient Federated learning, lower communication costs, tackling heterogeneous data and models ... and much more!

*Submission Remarks*

You are invited to submit your papers in our CMT submission portal ( https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/ENLSP2024 ).

All the submitted papers have to be anonymous for double-blind review. We expect each paper will be reviewed by at least three reviewers.

The content of the paper (excluding the references and supplementary materials) should not be more than *8 pages for Long Papers* and *4 pages for Short Papers*, strictly following the NeurIPS template style.

According to the guideline of the NeurIPS workshops, already published papers are not encouraged for submission, but you are allowed to submit your ArXiv papers or the ones which are under submission (for example *any NeurIPS submissions can be submitted concurrently to workshops* ).

To encourage higher quality submissions, our sponsors are offering the *Best Paper* and the *Best Poster* Awards to qualified outstanding original oral and poster presentations (upon nomination of the reviewers).

Bear in mind that our workshop is not archival, but the accepted papers will be hosted on the workshop website. *Moreover, **accepted papers may opt-in to publish their papers in a special issue proceeding for the workshop in PMLR. *

*Important Dates:*

Submission Deadline: *August 30, 2024 Anywhere on Earth (AOE)*

Acceptance Notification: October 14, 2024 AOE

Camera-Ready Submission: October 28, 2024 AOE

We look forward to receiving your submissions and encourage you to share this call for papers with your network (or you may reshare this LINK https://x.com/mrgzadeh/status/1814400987299238188 on X ).

Thanks!
