The 2nd International Workshop on Language Models and Programming Languages
Generative artificial intelligence, exemplified by large language models (LLMs), is reshaping various aspects of programming languages, significantly simplifying many stages of software development. In recent years, many traditional areas of the programming languages (PL) community, such as program analysis and verification, program synthesis, and compiler optimization, have been profoundly influenced by LLMs, creating new opportunities for advancement. Despite their rapid progress, the inherent limitations of LLMs, particularly context length constraints, hallucinations, and high inference costs, restrict their effective application to PL tasks and other real-world problems.
As two distinct computational paradigms, neural networks represented by LLMs and traditional computation models based on programming languages have unique strengths and characteristics. To encourage researchers from the PL and ML communities to collaboratively address these challenges, we will host the International Workshop on Language Models and Programming Languages (LMPL) at SPLASH 2026, alongside other co-hosted PL conferences and workshops. We envision this new workshop as a platform for researchers from diverse backgrounds to engage in insightful exchanges, fostering synergy between traditional PL techniques and cutting-edge generative AI research, and driving innovation in these fields.
The workshop aims to achieve the following goals:
-
Facilitate discussions among researchers on the primary challenges of LLM-driven solutions for PL problems and other LLM-driven applications.
-
Provide a platform for researchers to exchange novel ideas and preliminary findings at the intersection of programming language techniques and language models.
-
Establish a forum for academia and industry professionals to bridge the gap between academic research and industry requirements, encouraging the practical application of programming language methodologies and language models to tackle real-world challenges.
