Special Session on Agentic AI for Spatio-Temporal Information Extraction
and Reasoning - SAIS 2026
Following the rapid emergence of agentic applications and the growing
volume of event-centric news and social media posts, we announce the
first special track on Spatio-Temporal Information Extraction and
Reasoning of the AGENTICS 2026 conference, which this year is part of
the 18th Joint Conference on Computational Intelligence and will take
place in Angers, France.
We aim to bring together research where agentic AI and Large Language
Models are utilized for spatio-temporal grounding of events, entities,
and sentiments from textual sources. This also includes the construction
of event and entity relations, graphs, and timelines and the
spatio-temporal inference of implicitly mentioned locations and time
periods.
We welcome contributions on agentic reasoning for spatio-temporal task
planning: for example, spatio-temporal reasoning from information
extracted from text; reasoning over structured event databases,
spatio-temporal knowledge graphs, and clusters; spatio-temporal
attribute propagation; reasoning about sequences of events; and all
other spatio-temporal reasoning in a text-based context.
We will address also downstream applications of these technologies like
domain-specific monitoring agents for conflict, disasters, environmental
change, public health, and other crisis and policy-related domains.
Finally, we encourage work on early warning and forecasting with LLMs,
and on reasoning over event sequences and spatial proximity to support
downstream analysis and decision-making.
In particular, we welcome submissions addressing the following main
topics: spatio-temporal grounding and extraction using or interacting
with LLM or agentic AI, spatio-temporal agentic reasoning, as well as
downstream agentic or LLM-based applications. We also address evaluation
techniques and benchmarks of the above mentioned approaches.
Additionally, submissions on all other topics, related to agentic and
LLM based spatio-temporal reasoning and extraction from texts will be
considered.
