About the Workshop

Machine learning has become increasingly important for the design and operation of data systems. The database community has explored how learning can improve components that traditionally relied on hand-crafted algorithms and heuristics, establishing ML for Systems as an important research direction. In the opposite direction, ML applications depend on the efficient management and processing of large and complex data, and techniques developed by the database community can improve the efficiency, scalability, and reliability of ML systems. This forms the basis of Systems for ML.

Since the previous editions, this landscape has changed substantially. Foundation models, Large Language Models, and agentic AI expand the role AI can play within a data system: beyond learning individual components, AI can increasingly reason about and interact with different parts of a system. At the same time, these new forms of AI introduce new requirements for how data is managed, processed, and made available to increasingly complex AI applications.

The third edition provides a forum for the database community to discuss this evolving landscape. While LLMs and agentic AI are a timely focus, the workshop retains its broad scope and welcomes contributions across both ML for Systems and Systems for ML.
