22 Mar '12

*************************************************************** Semantic Web Challenge 2012 - Call for Participation http://challenge.semanticweb.org/2012 Boston - USA November 13-15, 2012 *************************************************************** Submissions are now invited for the 10th Semantic Web Challenge, the premier event for demonstrating practical progress towards achieving the vision of the Semantic Web. The 10th Semantic Web Challenge which will take place at the 11th International Semantic Web Conference in Boston, USA. As in previous years, the Semantic Web Challenge will consist of two tracks: the Open Track and the Billion Triples Track. The key difference between the two tracks is that the Billion Triples Track requires the participants to make use of the data set that has been crawled from the Web and is provided by the organizers. The Open Track has no such restrictions. The Challenge is open to everyone from industry and academia. The authors of the best applications will be awarded prizes and featured prominently at special sessions during the conference. Important Dates ********************* Friday October 12, 2012, 23:59 CET: Submissions due November 13-15: Semantic Web Challenge takes place at ISWC 2012 Challenge Criteria ********************* The Challenge is defined in terms of minimum requirements and additional desirable features that submissions should exhibit. The criteria for the Semantic Web Challenge 2012 are described here: http://challenge.semanticweb.org/2012/criteria.html. How to Participate ********************* Visit http://challenge.semanticweb.org/ in order to participate and register for the Semantic Web Challenge by submitting the required information as well as a link to the application on the online registration form. The form will open in August 2012 and will be open until Friday October 12, 2012. The following information must be provided: 1. Abstract: no more than 200 words. 2. Description: The description should show details of the system, including why the system is innovative, which features or functions the system provides, what design choices were made and what lessons were learned. The description must include an appendix of 1-2 pages summarising explicitly how participants have addressed the evaluation requirements (including mandatory and any relevant desirable criteria). Papers should not exceed eight pages (including the appendix) and must be formatted according to the same guidelines as the papers in the Research Track (see http://iswc2012.semanticweb.org/) 3. Web access: The application should be accessible via the web. If the application is not publicly accessible, passwords should be provided. A (short) set of instructions on how to start and use the application should also be provided on the web page. Descriptions (including the appendix) will be published in the form of online proceedings on the Semantic Web Challenge website. Judging and Prizes *********************** In addition to submitting a system description and working demo, all participants are required to present their systems at the posters and demos session at the ISWC 2012 conference. A jury consisting of experts from industry and academia will be appointed to judge the systems at the conference. In the first round of judging, the jury will take into consideration the descriptions submitted, the online demos, and the presentation at the conference, in order to determine an initial set of 8 finalists. The entries will be scored by the judges and the 8 highest scoring entries will then proceed to the second round of the competition. The split between the two tracks will be determined according to the proportion of entries in each track. The 8 finalists will proceed to the second round of the competition, where they will have to present their work in an open session the following day. They will have a slot of approximately 15 minutes to present their work. The judges will be present and will evaluate the systems in more detail, according to the specific criteria detailed on the website. The judges will then meet in private to discuss the entries and to determine the winners. A monetary prize will be provided to the winners of each track, along with publicity for their work. There will normally be 3 winners of the Open Track and 1 winner of the BTC track. However, the organisers reserve the right to merge the tracks in the event of insufficient submissions in either category. The winners will be announced and prizes awarded during the Closing Ceremony of ISWC 2012. All 8 finalists will also be offered the opportunity to submit their work to a Special Issue of the Journal of Web Semantics. In the event that one of the tracks receive less than a minimal number of submissions, the organizers reserve the right to merge the two tracks of the competition. Billion Triples Challenge 2012 Data Set *********************************************** The participants of the Billion Triple Track of the Semantic Web Challenge need to use a data set provided by the organizers. The data set is currently being prepared and will be available on the website in April 2012.

19 Mar '12

Call For Papers: KDD 2012 Workshop on Crowdsourcing and Data Mining Beijing, China, August 12, 2012 http://www.cse.ust.hk/~nliu/crowdkdd12/ In recent years, the emergence of powerful crowdsourcing platforms such as Amazon's Mechanical Turk, Livework, Crowdflower, DoMyStuff, etc, has greatly broadened the scope of applications that can utilize crowd intelligence via novel computational and economical mechanisms. We are only beginning to understand how the landscape of our field is going to change when the crowd is becoming an integral part of the entire data mining process from data collection, modeling to evaluation. The goal of this workshop is to bring together interested researchers in order to shape a vision of the important research challenges posed to the data mining community by crowdsourcing. We invite submissions of papers describing original research addressing data mining challenges in association with crowdsourcing. This includes but is not restricted to the following topics: - Novel mechanisms and tools (e.g., human computation, gamification) for engaging users in data generation tasks - Cleaning and quality control of data collected via crowdsourcing - Learning with multiple imperfect labelers - Techniques for identifying and mitigating spam and abuse in crowdsourcing tasks - Large-scale knowledge discovery and performance evaluation with the support of crowd - Use cases and applications of data mining related to crowdsourcing - User models and human factors in designing crowdsourcing systems e.g. incentives, cognitive bias, bounded rationality, etc. - Performance evaluation and economical analysis for crowdsourcing based data mining applications We especially welcome innovative data mining solutions and case studies involving significant use of a crowdsourcing platform such as Amazon's Mechanical Turk, Crowdflower, etc. * Submission Instructions Submissions should report new (unpublished) research results or ongoing research. A Papers should be no more than 9 pages total in length. The format is the standard double-column ACM Proceedings Style. Additional information about formatting and style files are available online at: http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates * Important Dates Submissions due: May 10, 2012 Notification of acceptance: June 10, 2012 Camera-ready submission: June 15, 2012 Workshop date: August 12 , 2012 * Organizers Shipeng Yu, Siemens Ed H.
