2nd Workshop on Navigating and Addressing Data Problems for Foundation Models (DPFM)
Keywords: data problems, foundation model
TL;DR: The 2nd workshop on Data Problems for Foundation Models aims to bring together leading researchers from academia and industry to share insights and foster discussions on data-related issues in the context of foundation models.
Abstract: Foundation models (FMs) have become central to modern machine learning, with data playing a crucial role in their development and sparking increased attention to data-related challenges such as curation and attribution. Adapting traditional data-centric methods to FMs is challenging due to the scale of both data and model architectures, necessitating interdisciplinary collaboration and community efforts.
Building on the success of the first Data Problems in Foundation Models (DPFM) workshop at ICLR 2024, the second DPFM workshop will address persistent and emerging data-related challenges in FM deployment. While longstanding issues in data collection, curation, and synthesis remain relevant, new challenges have arisen as FMs are integrated into a growing number of applications and become increasingly multi-modal. Concurrently, the societal impact of AI has intensified, highlighting concerns such as data copyright. These evolving challenges emphasize the need for continued, focused discussions on data-related issues in FM development. Our goals include fostering a comprehensive understanding of these challenges across the entire FM pipeline and creating a platform for interdisciplinary researchers to connect, collaborate, and drive progress. We hope this workshop will serve as a catalyst for innovative solutions to critical data challenges, shaping the future of FMs and their wide-ranging applications.
