2025 Graph Prompting for Graph Learning Models: Recent Advances and Future Directions
abstract
Graph learning models have demonstrated great prowess in learning expressive representations from large-scale graph data in a wide variety of real-world scenarios. As a prevalent strategy for training powerful graph learning models, the ''pre-training, adaptation'' scheme first pre-trains graph learning models on unlabeled graph data in a self-supervised manner and then adapts them to specific downstream tasks. During the adaptation phase, graph prompting emerges as a promising approach that learns trainable prompts while keeping the pre-trained graph learning models unchanged. In this paper, we present a systematic review of recent advancements in graph prompting. First, we introduce representative graph pre-training methods that serve as the foundation step of graph prompting. Next, we review mainstream techniques in graph prompting and elaborate on how they design learnable prompts for graph prompting. Furthermore, we summarize the real-world applications of graph prompting from different domains. Finally, we discuss several open challenges in existing studies with promising future directions in this field.

2025 The 11th Mining and Learning from Time Series (MILETS): From Classical Methods to LLMs
abstract
Time series data is now pervasive across domains such as healthcare, finance, entertainment, and transportation, driven by advances in sensing technologies that enable continuous data collection. The resulting increase in data volume and complexity poses significant challenges to traditional analysis methods, calling for the development of advanced, interdisciplinary approaches to temporal data mining. This workshop aims to: (1) identify key challenges in learning from time series data, including irregular sampling, spatiotemporal dependencies, and uncertainty quantification; (2) explore recent advances in algorithmic, statistical, theoretical, and systems-based solutions-ranging from classical methods to emerging techniques involving large language models (LLMs); and (3) foster collaboration by highlighting open problems and novel research directions in time series analysis. Bridging theory and practice, the workshop provides a platform for researchers and practitioners from academia, industry, and government to exchange ideas, discuss technical challenges, and showcase practical applications. Contributions from related areas such as AI, machine learning, data science, and statistics are strongly encouraged.

2024 NL2Code-Reasoning and Planning with LLMs for Code Development
abstract
There is huge value in making software development more productive with AI. An important component of this vision is the capability to translate natural language to a programming language ("NL2Code") and thus to significantly accelerate the speed at which code is written.

2023 The 9th SIGKDD International Workshop on Mining and Learning from Time Series
abstract
Time series data has become pervasive across domains such as finance, transportation, retail, entertainment, and healthcare. This shift towards continuous monitoring and recording, fueled by advancements in sensing technologies, necessitates the development of new tools and solutions. Despite extensive study, the importance of time series analysis continues to increase. However, modern time series data present challenges to existing techniques, including irregular sampling and spatiotemporal structures. Time series mining research is both challenging and rewarding as it connects diverse disciplines and requires interdisciplinary solutions. The goals of this workshop are to (1) highlight the significant challenges that underpin learning and mining from time series data (e.g., irregular sampling, spatiotemporal structure, uncertainty quantification), (2) discuss recent algorithmic, theoretical, statistical, or systems-based developments for tackling these problems, and (3) to synergize the research activities and discuss both new and open problems in time series analysis and mining. In summary, our workshop will focus on both the theoretical and practical aspects of time series data analysis and will provide a platform for researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to discuss potential research directions and critical technical issues and present solutions to tackle related issues in practical applications. We will invite researchers and practitioners from the related areas of AI, machine learning, data science, statistics, and many others to contribute to this workshop.
