Hong Kong Association for Digital Humanities Annual Conference
HKADH 2027 welcomes submissions that explore how models and modelling shape
digital humanities as analytical practice, cultural production, artistic
experimentation, and applied public work.

Subject: Digital Humanities and Knowledge Sharing: Join the Innovation Prototyping Lab 2026 online
Hi all,
GRAPHIA and LUMEN are two EU-funded projects working at the
intersection of research data, digital technologies and Open Science.
GRAPHIA is developing a comprehensive Knowledge Graph for the Social
Sciences and Humanities (SSH), while LUMEN focuses on connecting
researchers and data and supporting interdisciplinary research within
the European
Open Science Cloud (EOSC).
From 14–18 September 2026, the two project communities will come together
in Brussels for the Innovation Prototyping Lab (IPL) 2026 - a week of
collaborative work exploring how Knowledge Graphs, AI and other digital
technologies can support research and discovery in the Social Sciences and
Humanities.
The programme will include sessions on Knowledge Graphs, artificial
intelligence, research interfaces and tools, Open Science, sustainability,
governance and innovation, as well as demonstrations, workshops and
discussions with researchers and industry representatives.
The event may be of particular interest to colleagues working
with digital collections, research data, metadata, knowledge organisation,
digital humanities, research infrastructures and Open Science.
While in-person participation is limited to project partners and invited
speakers, selected sessions will be publicly live-streamed, making it
possible to follow the event online.
Interested in joining online? Sign up to receive access to the
live-streamed sessions:

Subject: 3rd CFP of the 3rd NORA Workshop @AACL-IJCNLP 2026
3rd Workshop on KNOwledge GRaphs & Agentic Systems Interplay (NORA)
10 November 2026, Hengqin, China
Web: https://nora-workshop.github.io/AACL2026/
LinkedIn:

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
Submission Guidelines, Policies, and Awards are available on the website.
