“Polyglot Workshop – Developing LLMs for Low-Resource Languages” is a four-day, hands-on program focused on sharing expertise in building large language models, with a special emphasis on underrepresented languages. Our goal is to empower a new generation of practitioners to advance LLM development beyond high-resource settings. The Workshop covers all key stages of an LLM training pipeline, making this knowledge accessible to a broad and diverse audience.
In-person registration is closed, but online attendance over zoom is possible. Please note that, as this is a hands-on workshop, several sessions involve practical exercises on the University of Bonn's HPC cluster Marvin. Due to technical and security constraints, remote access to the cluster for these exercises cannot be provided to the online participants.
To register for online participation, please send an email to polyglot@uni-bonn.de. Zoom details will be sent to registered online participants before the workshop. If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to reach out at the same address.
