--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3rd Workshop on KNOwledge GRaphs & Agentic Systems Interplay (NORA) 10 November 2026, Hengqin, China Web: https://nora-workshop.github.io/AACL2026/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/nora-knowledge-graphs-agentic-systems-interplay --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In conjunction with AACL-IJCNLP 2026, November 6-10 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Workshop Overview --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Agents have experienced significant growth in recent years, largely due to the rapid technological advancements of Large Language Models (LLMs). Although these agents benefit from LLMs’ advanced generation proficiency, they still suffer from catastrophic forgetting and a limited context window size compared to the agents’ needs in terms of contextual information. Knowledge Graphs (KGs) are a powerful paradigm for structuring and managing connected pieces of information while unlocking deeper insights than traditional methods. Their value is immense for tasks that require context, integration, inter-linking, and reasoning. However, this power comes at the cost of significant upfront and ongoing investment in construction, curation, and specialised expertise. The NORA workshop aims at analysing and discussing emerging and novel practices, ongoing research efforts and validated or deployed innovative solutions that showcase the growing synergy between LLMs agents and KGs. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Topics of Interest --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We welcome submissions and participation from intradisciplinary, interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary researchers and industry & public sector practitioners in the areas of Knowledge Graphs, Knowledge Engineering and Reasoning, Advanced NLP, GenAI, and AI Agents. We especially welcome contributions that provide theoretical insights, propose new approaches, or introduce new grounded solutions in real-world applications such as enterprise, smart assistance & chat, healthcare, finance, tourism, etc. We invite submissions in this non-exhaustive list of topics of interest, including, but not limited to: - Agents for Complex Reasoning over KGs - Agents and KGs for private and proactive personal assistants & Personalisation - Architectures for Persistent Agent Memory - Benchmarking Agent Memory Performance - Collaborative & Shared Agent Memories - Context Engineering enhanced by KGs - Domain-Specific Memory Architectures - From Unstructured Experience to Structured and Graph-Based Memory - KGs serving agents' memories: Episodic (experiences, events, etc.), Semantic (facts, concepts, etc.), and Procedural (skills, tasks, etc.) - Memory Grounding & Hallucination Mitigation - Memory Indexing & Retrieval for Agents - Multi-Lingual & Multi-modal integrations - Personalization vs. Generalization in Memory ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Important Dates Anywhere on Earth (AoE) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Regular Submissions Deadline: September 9th, 2026 - ARR Commitment Deadline: September 14th, 2026 - Notification of Acceptance: October 1, 2026 - Camera-Ready Papers Due: October 12, 2026 - Workshop date: November 10th, 2026 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Submissions Guidelines, Policies, and Awards are available on the website. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Organization --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Btissam Er-Rahmadi, Independent Researcher, UK - Sebastien Montella, Huawei Technologies R&D UK Ltd, UK - Damien Graux, EcoVadis, UK - Andre Melo, Huawei Technologies R&D UK Ltd, UK - Hajira Jabeen, University Hospital Cologne, Germany |
