About the Workshop

The workshop “Graph AI and Human-Centered Intelligence: From Network Analysis to Intelligent Agents (GAI-HCI 2027)”, co-located with the 3rd International Conference on Human–AI Interaction and Experience Design (HAXD 2027), brings together researchers, practitioners, and industry experts working on Graph AI, network science, human-centered AI, and intelligent agents to discuss emerging theories, methodologies, and real-world applications.

Graphs provide a powerful framework for modeling complex relationships in domains such as healthcare, social networks, cybersecurity, finance, transportation, and intelligent systems. Recent advances in Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), graph transformers, knowledge graphs, and agentic AI have enabled intelligent systems to reason over structured data while supporting more transparent, explainable, and human-centered decision making.

We particularly encourage interdisciplinary contributions that bridge theoretical foundations with real-world applications in healthcare, biomedical sciences, social networks, cybersecurity, recommender systems, and other graph-centric domains. The workshop welcomes original research papers, novel methodologies, practical applications, benchmark datasets, and industrial case studies.
