The 14th IIIT Advanced Summer School on Natural Language Processing (IASNLP 2026) runs at LTRC, IIIT Hyderabad, with this year’s edition focused on Speech Large Language Models (Speech LLMs).
What to expect
The programme includes a two-day pre-school session to bring everyone up to a common footing, followed by expert lectures, hands-on sessions, and guided projects. The summer school series has long been a way for the centre to open its work up to researchers and students from across the country and beyond.
A continuing series
IASNLP has run for over a decade, with recent editions covering themes such as multimodal NLP and the bridge between speech and text. Focusing the 2026 edition on Speech LLMs reflects the growing overlap between large language models and speech technology, an area where the centre’s speech and NLP groups intersect.
