About the workshop

Theme

While tensors are a powerful tool for representing multi-dimensional real-world data (like MRI and videos) and LLMs have revolutionized language and multi-modal tasks, the two fields have largely developed independently. This workshop (LLMTenA 2026) aims to bridge this gap by exploring a two-way synergy: using tensors to help compress, interpret, and improve LLMs, and using LLMs to enhance traditional tensor tasks like completion and decomposition.

Goals

Leveraging LLMs to enhance tensor-based data analysis; Utilizing tensor methods to improve the efficiency, interpretability, and robustness of LLMs

Audience

Researchers, practitioners, students, industry partners, etc.
