Call for Papers
The Workshop on Foundation Models in the Wild@ICLR 2025 invite submissions from researchers in the fields of machine learning pertaining to foundation models and its in-the wild applications. Additionally, we welcome contributions from scholars in the natural sciences (such as physics, chemistry, and biology) and social sciences (including pedagogy and sociology) that necessitate the use of foundation models.
Key Dates
- Paper Deadline: February 10, 2025 (AoE, Extended)
- Notification: March 5, 2025, (AoE)
- Camera-ready: March 20, 2025, (AoE)
Deadlines are strict and will not be extended under any circumstances. All deadlines follow the Anywhere on Earth (AoE) timezone.
Submission Site
Submit papers through the Foundation Models in the Wild Workshop Submission Portal on OpenReview (Workshop Submission Portal )
Scope
We welcome contributions across a broad spectrum of topics, including but not limited to:
- Innovations in techniques for customizing models to individual user preferences, tasks, or domains
- Advancements in the reasoning and planning abilities of FMs in complex real-world challenges
- Theoretical and empirical investigations into the reliability and responsibility of various FMs
- Strategies for overcoming practical limitations (e.g., memory, time, data) of FMs in broad applications
- Methods for integrating multiple modalities (e.g., text, images, action) into a unified in-the-wild framework
- Discussions on FM agents that perform intricate tasks through interaction with the environment
- In-depth discussions exploring the in-the-wild deployments and applications of FMs
- Benchmark methodologies for assessing FMs in real-world settings
Submission Guidelines
- Tiny papers: between 2 and 4 pages
- Long Papers: between 6 and 9 pages
