The 1st W orkshop on Pragmatic Reasoning in Language Models (PragLM) aims to stimulate research on LLMs as pra gmatically competent language users. We invite con tributions that will forward the discussion of und erstanding and improvement of LLMs' capability to generate natural language flexibly and efficiently across contexts, with relations to research on th e cognitive and linguistic processes supporting ef fective, context-sensitive communication. Our inte rdisciplinary theme brings together researchers in NLP, computational pragmatics, cognitive science, and other fields.
\nWe invit
e researchers to present their published and ongoi
ng works on the topics of, but not limited to:
\n - Improving Pragmatic, Contextual Language Use
in LLMs
\n - Evaluating Pragmatic Competence
of Language Models
\n - Theory-of-Mind (ToM) a
nd Pragmatics
\n - Pragmatics across Cultures
and Languages
\n - Application of LLMs for Und
erstanding Human Pragmatic Language Use
\n - I
nterpretability of LLMs' Pragmatic Competence
