Spatio-temporal data intelligence, which includes sensing, managing, and mining large scale data across space and time, plays a pivotal role in understanding complex systems in real-world applications, such as urban computing and smart cities. With the rapid evolution of foundation models and their growing potential to transform spatio-temporal analytics, we propose a comprehensive half-day workshop at CIKM 2025, catering to professionals, researchers, and practitioners who are interested in spatio-temporal data intelligence and foundation models to address real-world challenges.
The workshop will not only offer a platform for knowledge exchange but also acknowledge outstanding contributions through a distinguished Best Paper Award. A dedicated panel discussion will explore recent advances, emerging trends, and open challenges in integrating spatio-temporal data and emerging machine learning techniques, fostering dialogue between academia and industry.
The workshop encourages submissions of innovative solutions for a broad range of spatio
temporal (ST) data intelligence and foundation models. Topics of interest include but are not
limited to the following:
• Cutting-edge machine learning based algorithms for ST data modeling, and
corresponding surveys, evaluations, or benchmarking,
• Developing foundation models or utilizing LLMs for ST data processing and analytics,
• Multi-modal and cross-domain ST data fusion, integrating ST, visual, and textual
information,
• Uncertainty, fairness, or privacy aware ST data mining
• Techniques for ST data generation, forecasting, classification, and anomaly detection,
• Real-world ST applications in transportation, environment, public safety, etc.
The continued digitization of societal processes and the accompanying deployment of sensing technologies generate increasingly massive amounts of ST data, fueling a variety of real-world applications, e.g., intelligent transportation system and weather forecasting. Mining actionable insights from such complex ST data across space and time poses unique challenges, including heterogeneous data management and modeling and ensuring scalability in real-time applications. Our objective is to provide a platform for researchers, practitioners, and stakeholders from diverse fields such as data mining/management and machine learning to explore unique challenges and opportunities provided by ST data. This workshop aims to address the growing need for innovative methods and practical tools for mining ST data, discussing the challenges and ethical considerations, and explore future real-world applications. In addition, ST foundation models have emerged as a new paradigm, offering a unified framework capable of solving various ST tasks. Driven by the success of foundation models, especially LLMs, it becomes possible to develop more generalized and universal solutions that can be adapted to different tasks. We plan to further provide a dedicated forum for in-depth discussion on this emerging research frontier.
