Abstract

In the rapidly evolving landscape of data mining and advanced big data analytics, the interplay between fundamental research and application-driven innovation has become increasingly complex and vital. This panel aims to explore the dynamic tension and synergy between these two domains, addressing questions such as:

  1. Are the current researchers just the players of LLM (Large Language Models)?
  2. How can foundational theories in data mining better inform real-world applications?
  3. What challenges arise when translating cutting-edge research into deployable solutions?
  4. How can academia and industry collaborate more effectively to bridge the gap?
We invite researchers, practitioners, and thought leaders from both academia and industry to join this engaging discussion. Whether your work focuses on theoretical advancements or practical implementations, your insights will help shape a deeper understanding of the evolving roles of research in data mining.



Please join us to share perspectives, debate priorities, and uncover new opportunities for collaboration and innovation!
