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

- Regular Submissions Deadline: September 9th, 2026 September 14th, 2026
- ARR Commitment Deadline: September 14th, 2026
- Notification of Acceptance: October 1, 2026
- Camera-Ready Papers Due: October 12, 2026
