It is envisioned that emerging 6G networks will introduce Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC), a shift that transforms traditional wireless infrastructure into a ubiquitous sensor network. Unlike conventional sensing pipelines, ISAC data is often passively and opportunistically collected, highly heterogeneous, noisy, and strongly coupled across space and time. These characteristics pose challenges that differ substantially from those assumed in many existing data mining and machine learning approaches.
This workshop views ISAC not simply as a new application area, but as a distinct data mining setting that raises fundamental questions about how data should be represented, analyzed, and interpreted. The close interaction between sensing and communication introduces feedback between data acquisition and inference, resource‑dependent observation processes, and cross‑layer dependencies, which complicate standard workflows for spatiotemporal analysis, multimodal fusion, streaming learning, and distributed data mining. Addressing these issues requires data‑centric perspectives that explicitly account for the unique properties of ISAC data.
KD-ISAC invites original research contributions on data mining and machine learning foundations, models, and systems for Integrated Sensing and Communication. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Data characteristics, representations, and problem formulations for ISAC data
Spatiotemporal and multimodal knowledge discovery from RF-based sensing data
Learning methods that account for sensing–communication coupling and feedback
Online, streaming, and continual learning from ISAC data streams
Distributed, federated, and scalable data mining for ISAC infrastructures
Semantic and knowledge-driven communication for efficient discovery
Data-centric AI for RF-based human activity recognition, localization, and environmental mapping
Both methodological and application-driven contributions are welcome, provided they offer new insights into the data mining challenges and opportunities introduced by ISAC systems.
