NORA: The Third Workshop on KNOwledge GRaphs & Agentic Systems Interplay - ARR Commitment
The NORA 2026 workshop, co-located with AACL-IJCNLP 2026, explores the synergy between Large Language Model (LLM) agents and Knowledge Graphs (KGs), focusing on architectures for persistent agent memory, reasoning over structured knowledge, and real-world applications in domains like healthcare, finance, and personal assistants. It aims to bring together researchers and practitioners to advance the integration of KGs into agentic systems for improved context, grounding, and memory management.
