14 Jul '26

Hi All, Please find below the details of the CFP. *Call for Papers* --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *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-inte… --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 Best, Btissam Er-Rahmadi

From OCR and annotation to corpus analysis and the application of generative AI systems in analysis or dissemination, these technologies open up new possibilities for generating and augmenting historical knowledge. Even after a few decades of experience, the combination of hermeneutic and computational approaches is far from straightforward, and researchers are often confront-ed with new methodological and practical challenges such as (but not limited to): · Data acquisition: How can processes of datafication and data-collection lead to relia-ble and accurate data? · Data modeling: Which data model is best suited to a particular research question and dataset, and how can expressiveness and interoperability be optimally balanced? · Data analysis: Are the available tools sufficiently powerful for the chosen model, and do they perform as effectively on one's own data as reported in the literature? · Evaluation: How can results obtained from a specific tool be critically assessed? What roles do data quality, uncertainty, and methodological transparency play in a given re-search context? · Data exchange and reproducibility: How can research results be published and shared in ways that foster reuse and conserve transparency? To what extent are digitally supported methods transferable and reproducible across different datasets, and un-der which conditions? The Digital History Autumn School 2026, organized in the framework of the Joint Lab Cul-tural Data in a Digital World (Herder Institute, Marburg -https://www.herder-institut.de/de/start, in close collaboration with the data competence center – Humanities Edu-cation in Research, Data, and Methods – HERMES - https://hermes-hub.de/ ), addresses these questions from both methodological and practical perspectives. Together with experts in Digi-tal Humanities and Digital History, participants will explore criteria for the selection, applica-tion, and evaluation of digital tools and methods and will have the opportunity to discuss them in the context of their own research projects. Topics · Selection and critical assessment of digital tools · Data preparation and data quality practices · Evaluation methods in the Digital Humanities · Transparency and reproducibility of digital methods · Dealing with uncertainty, ambiguity, and incompleteness in historical data · Source criticism, provenance, and the documentation of data transformation processes In addition to thematic workshops, the Autumn School will provide opportunities for ex-change both with the experts and among the participants. Planned activities include interactive formats such as peer-support sessions, including opportunities for participants to present and discuss their own research data, methods, and research questions as well as networking events. Who Can Apply? ================ The Autumn School is aimed at: · Advanced Master's students · Doctoral researchers (PhD candidates) · Postdoctoral and other early-career researchers from the fields of Digital Humanities, Computer Science, Cultural Heritage, Digital History and Information Science who work with historical and cultural data and wish to integrate dig-ital methods into their research and critically reflect on their use. Practical Information ====================== Dates: 28 September (from 2p.m) – 2 October 2026 (until 2p.m..) Location: Herder Institute, Marburg, and Philipps University Marburg Working Language: English The organizers will provide for single room accommodation at a regular hotel. Travel expenses can be reimbursed up to a maximum of EUR 250.

Taxonomy of Digital Research Activities in the Humanities (TaDiRAH) Update and Call for Participation
by c.hastik＠igsd-ev.de 08 Jul '26

08 Jul '26

The Taxonomy of Digital Research Activities in the Humanities (TaDiRAH ) has by now developed a long and vibrant history. Over the years, it has grown through a wide range of collaborations, driven by international and interdisciplinary exchange as well as the commitment of numerous contributors from the digital humanities community. At present, a new phase is beginning that envisions the collaborative further development of TaDiRAH. Core content and initial language versions are already in place; now we would like to involve the community more closely, bring together existing expertise, and jointly shape the next steps. One key objective is to further develop TaDiRAH sustainably, strengthen its international interoperability, and establish it firmly for the long term. We invite everyone interested to actively contribute — whether through feedback, content contributions, discussions, or participation in linguistic extensions — as we explicitly view the further development of TaDiRAH as a collaborative process. For existing language versions, we are looking for active contact persons who can serve as points of contact and support maintenance, coordination, and further development. At the same time, we would also like to specifically ask who might be interested in contributing to additional translations and linguistic extensions. The technical and conceptual development is carried out transparently via GitHub (https://github.com/dhtaxonomy/TaDiRAH) Changes are documented, discussed, and versioned there. Participation is also possible for people without extensive technical expertise; supporting materials and introductory resources are available (https://zenodo.org/records/20762024) Contributions are possible on different levels: – Editorial and conceptual contributions – Translations and linguistic adaptations – Discussion of terminology, structures, and use cases – Technical support and review – Networking and increasing visibility within the community. Please do not hesitate to contact us: tadirah-request(a)listserv.dfn.de. As next steps, additional language versions are planned, particularly Polish (PL) and Turkish (TR). Interested contributors are warmly invited to get involved. Interested individuals are also warmly invited to subscribe to the mailing list: https://www.listserv.dfn.de/sympa/info/tadirah. At present, there are two Germany-based data competence centers with a concrete interest in the further development of TaDiRAH and in sustainably advancing related efforts. HERMES (https://hermes-hub.de) and SODa (https://sammlungen.io/) represented by IGSD e.V. (https://igsd-ev.de) are currently supporting TaDiRAH by increasing its visibility and fostering exchange between projects and communities. At the same time, involving and activating the community also serves to identify potential pathways for the long-term sustainability of the project activities. They contribute to visibility, promote exchange between projects and communities, and support the sustainable institutionalization of these activities. We are delighted to be taking part in this year’s EADH 2026 in Kraków and warmly invite everyone to attend our session. The programme will be available here shortly: https://eadh2026.confer.uj.edu.pl/programme.
