LG Uplus said on Oct. 23 that a paper on its in-house developed Generative AI technology “ixi-GEN” was recognized by EMNLP 2025, one of the world’s top natural language processing (NLP) conferences.
EMNLP (Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing) is one of the world’s top three NLP conferences organized under the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL).
The thesis submitted by LG Uplus proposes the new approach “domain-adaptive continual pretraining” (DACP) technique that improves both the efficiency and quality of small language models (sLLMs).
The technique is analyzed to have been highly evaluated for continually learning industrial data while maintaining general language capability.
LG Uplus side said current sLLM models face limitations in which industrially specialized training sees their understanding capability of general language decline.
LG Uplus officials who have participating in the writing of a paper on its in-house developed Generative AI technology “ixi-GEN,” which was recognized by EMNLP 2025.
In response, LG Uplus said the company solved it by using the DACP technique, a method to learn both industry data and general data in balance, and its application in areas, such as telecommunications and finance sees performance significantly improve over existing models.
Meanwhile, LG Uplus has continued to upgrade ixi-Gen’s performance and utilize it as an AI platform for in-house executives and staff members, while developing specialized models in cooperation with outside institutions.
LG Uplus has installed additional telecommunication facilities to cope with a large crowd of people during the APEC 2025 Korea. LG Uplus crew members look into telecommunication facilities near Gyeongju Hwangnidan Street.
LG Uplus Informs KISA of Hacking Accident
