About the Conference
The China Conference on Knowledge Graph and Semantic Computing (CCKS) is organized by the Special Interest Committee on Language and Knowledge Computing, Chinese Information Processing Society of China (CIPS). Originating from the Chinese Knowledge Graph Symposium (CKGS) and the Chinese Semantic Web and Web Science Conference (CSWS), the two events merged in 2016. From 2016 to 2024, CCKS was held in Beijing, Chengdu, Tianjin, Hangzhou, Nanchang, Guangzhou (online), Qinhuangdao, Shenyang and Chongqing, and has become a flagship venue in China for knowledge graphs and semantic technologies, bringing together researchers and practitioners in knowledge representation and reasoning, natural language understanding and knowledge acquisition, graph data management and graph computing, question answering, and related areas.
CCKS 2025 will be held in Fuzhou on September 19–21, 2025. The theme is “LLM Agents and Knowledge Computing.” The conference will discuss how to improve the accuracy and reliability of LLM agents with the support of knowledge graphs, covering key topics such as knowledge representation, storage, mining, fusion, reasoning, explainability, ethics, knowledge-augmented LLMs, agent architectures, etc. The program will feature tutorials, keynotes, frontiers & trends forum, industry forum, young scholars forum, evaluation tasks, paper presentations, posters and system demos.
