<p>The ELM Lab (Experimental Language Modeling Lab) at Morgan State University is a research initiative for interdisciplinary experimentation and exploration with language models (e.g. Llama, Deepseek, Gemini, ChatGPT, and the like). Our agenda includes:</p>

<p>A. Build researcher capacity for working with language models "down the LLM iceberg," from prompt engineering to API querying, markdown languages, local models, agent and RAG design, fine-tuning, etc.</p>

<p>B. Support researchers’ projects involving language models through intellectual community, feedback, resource sharing, and network building</p>

<p>C. Share information, opportunities, and resources with anyone who’d like to work with LLMs more effectively and with greater control and transparency over their functioning and results.</p>

<p>Our meetings in Spring 2026 feature
<br>a. interactive workshops led by visiting experts
<br>b. interactive workshops led by ELM members with special competences
<br>c. regular “check-ins” from members about their ongoing projects with language models
<br>d. discussion of emerging controversies and innovations</p>

<p>Faculty, students and community members are invited to join.
<br>In Spring 2026 we meet Thursdays, 3pm-4pm, by Zoom
