We are pleased to invite you to the inaugural workshop dedicated to the creation and development of Large Language Models (LLM) for the Italian language (the first step towards an Italian Large Multimodal Model). The event is part of the "Vision, Language, and Multimodal Challenges" Transversal Project of the big PNRR Next-Gen EU project "Future Artificial Intelligence Research" (FAIR) https://future-ai-research.it/ and is organized in collaboration with the National CINI AIIS laboratory https://www.consorzio-cini.it/index.php/it/labaiis-home/194-italiano/laboratori/lab-aiis (Artificial Intelligence and Information Systems), which serves as the hub of the entire Italian AI community.

The workshop, aimed at discussing the collection and selection of training and evaluation datasets for LLMs, will feature the project presentation and several keynote speakers (see agenda below).
