WMAI 2026 — World Models and Autonomous Intelligence for Data Mining

This workshop examines practical implementations and evaluation of autonomous machine intelligence in data mining. Themes include predictive world models, joint-embedding predictive architectures, self-supervised multimodal learning, intrinsic motivation and scalable analytics systems. It also considers interpretability, robustness and responsible deployment. The programme combines keynotes, research presentations and a discussion of the gap between architectural ideas and real-world systems. Workshop W05 runs from 08:30 to 12:00 local time. Paper submissions closed on 20 August and camera-ready papers were due on 2 October 2026.
