About the Workshop

Large Language Models (LLMs) have had a significant impact on many streams of academic research, from applications in health care to computational social science. This workshop brings together leading researchers in artificial intelligence and knowledge engineering, exploring how knowledge engineering is being reshaped by, and co-evolving with, LLMs.
