Symposium on Data Science and Analytics (SDSA) 2026

The Symposium on Data Science and Analytics will be held on May 13-14, 2026 at the Education University of Hong Kong (EdUHK). This symposium aims to bring together researchers to explore the latest advancements in data science and analytics. Over the two days, participants will engage in insightful discussions, share innovative ideas, and collaborate on projects that drive the future of data-driven decision-making. We have an exciting lineup of keynote speakers, invited talks, and workshops designed to inspire and inform attendees about emerging trends and technologies in the field.

Workshop (13 May 2026, 2pm to 5pm)

Title: The Life Cycle of Knowledge Agents: From Deep Parsing to Continuous Evolution

This workshop explores the "Life Cycle" of Knowledge Agents, tracing their evolution from data perception to continuous adaptation. The sessions are structured into three technical phases:

1. Precision Perception: Advanced frameworks for aspect-level sentiment analysis and event extraction. We examine elegant methods to transform unstructured data into relational logic.
2. Knowledge Internalization: Optimizing the agent's "memory" through knowledge distillation methods and the mitigation of catastrophic forgetting. We detail the use of continual learning models to maintain robustness across various data.
3. Interaction & Evolution: Analyzing the transition to execution-aware scenarios and the nuances of multicultural alignment. The cycle concludes with model deployment and applications.

By integrating these stages, the workshop provides a structured roadmap for developing efficient, adaptive, and ethical AI agents.

Participants are highly recommended to bring a laptop for coding practices in the workshop.
