ACL-SELVA 2026
The 1st International Workshop on Sustainable and Efficient Language, Vision, and Action Models (SELVA) at ACL 2026
SELVA 2026 is the first international workshop co-located with ACL 2026 in San Diego, focusing on sustainable and efficient models for language, vision, and action (LVA) systems. It aims to foster cross-disciplinary research in efficient architectures, model compression, energy-aware training, and embodied AI, addressing the growing computational and environmental costs of large multimodal models.
