[CFP] GaLM Workshop @ IEEE ICDM 2025

[Amit Kumar Jaiswal]

Graph-Augmented LLMs (GaLM): Bridging Language and Structured Knowledge Workshop @ The 25th IEEE International Conference on Data Mining (ICDM) 2025

This workshop brings together advanced graph machine learning, LLMs research and practical industrial applications. Our GaLM workshop explores the synergistic convergence of LLMs and graph-based methodologies and its applications with its transformative potential. This integration facilitates advancements in areas such as enhanced reasoning, improved contextual understanding, and robust generalization. We aim to foster discussions on leveraging Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) and graph representation learning to augment LLMs, as well as investigating the application of federated learning and unlearning techniques to address privacy and ethical concerns in this rapidly evolving field. This workshop aims to foster discussions on how graph structures can empower LLMs to achieve improved reasoning, knowledge integration, and data privacy in diverse applications, including but not limited to biomedical, environmental and social-economic systems, with highly structured knowledge.

Call for Contributions
Contributions are now invited. The aim of this workshop is to foster discussion around the emerging role of LLMs utilising graph data and computing techniques to enhance LLM capabilities and conversely, vice versa. We will invite original and unpublished research contributions to GaLM in relevant subjects, including, but not limited to:

• Data cleaning, integration, and augmentation with graph-based LLMs
• Graph-enhanced LLM architectures
• LLMs for graph understanding and generation
• LLM-driven graph processing
• Multimodal graph-LLM integration
• Explainability, provenance, security, privacy, benchmarking for graph-based LLMs
• Real-world applications of graph-enhanced LLMs in domains such as healthcare, finance, and social media

Submissions must follow the guidelines [guidelines link] and be uploaded on IEEE ICDM workshop portal [submission link]. Submitted papers will be peer-reviewed and selected on the basis of these reviews. Accepted papers will be presented at the workshop and published in the ICDM workshop proceedings.
