The four-volume set, LNAI 16597-16600 constitutes the proceedings of the 30th Pacific-Asia Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining, PAKDD 2026, held in Hong Kong, China, during June 912, 2026.

The 184 full papers presented in this book were carefully selected and reviewed from 728 submissions.

This program featured three tracks, the Main Track, the Survey Track, and the Special Track on LLMs for Data Science.

The Main Track continued its tradition of being the premier forum for the presentation of research results and experience reports on knowledge discovery, data science, and machine learning.

The Survey Track was introduced in 2025 for the first time, to promote the dissemination of insightful survey papers: survey papers are intended to provide a structured synthesis of a particular topic in the area of data mining, including but not limited to theoretical foundations of mining, inference, and learning, big data technologies, as well as security, privacy, and integrity, for the perusal of junior researchers and of experts from other research fields.

As the rapid advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs) have opened new avenues for innovation and research across various domains, particularly in the field of data science, we introduced the Special Track on LLMs, which aimed to explore the transformative potential of LLMs for data science, bringing together researchers, practitioners, and industry experts to discuss the latest developments, challenges, and opportunities in this rapidly growing area.
