[CFP][Deadline Extended] 1st International Workshop on Joint Use of Probabilistic Graphical Models and Ontology @KGSWC 202
by Sarra Ben Abbès 04 Oct '21

04 Oct '21

Dear colleagues and researchers, Please consider submitting a paper for the 1st International workshop on "Joint Use of Probabilistic Graphical Models and Ontology" which will be held online - November 19-24, 2021. *PGMOnto: * *Joint Use of Probabilistic Graphical Models and Ontology* 1st International Workshop, in conjunction with KGSWC 2021 <https://kgswc.org/> November 19- 24, 2021 - Online https://kgswc.org/pgmonto2021/ *Important dates:* • Workshop paper submission due: *October 18, 2021* • Workshop paper notifications: October 29, 2021 • Workshop paper camera-ready versions due: November 08, 2021 • Workshop: November 19-24, 2021 (half-day) All deadlines are 23:59 anywhere on earth (UTC-12). *Context of the workshop:* An ontology is well known to be the best way to represent knowledge in a domain of discourse. It is defined by Gruber as “an explicit specification of a conceptualization”. It allows to represent explicitly and formally existing entities, their relationships, and their constraints in an application domain. This representation is the most suitable and beneficial way to resolve many challenging problems related to the information domain (e.g., semantic interoperability among systems, knowledge sharing, and knowledge capitalization). Ontology formalization can be based on First order logic (FOL) to describe concepts, relationships, and constraints, enabling it to make inferences and giving it a graphical representation. Using ontology has many advantages, among them we can cite ontology reusing, reasoning and explanation, commitment, and agreement on a domain of discourse, ontology evolution and mapping, etc. Over the last three decades, graphical probabilistic models (PGMs) have enjoyed a surge of interest as a practically feasible framework of expert knowledge encoding and as a new comprehensive data analysis framework. Probabilistic graphical models (PGMs) such as Bayesian network, influence diagram or probabilistic relational model are considered as one of the most successful tools that enable a compact representation of complex systems and the increased ability to effectively learn and perform inference in large networks. Besides the compact representation of probability, PGMs are also intuitively easier for a human to understand than joint probabilities because they highlight the direct dependencies between random variables and their overall semantics is easily captured visually through their graphical representation. In practice, the combination of PGMs and ontologies might be beneficial to have high expressiveness and reasoning possibilities under uncertainty. Despite the difference between these two domain representation models, they have the potential to complement each other: part of the value of ontology baseline knowledge may be used to enhance PGM by resolving challenging tasks: (i) the identification of relevant variables (variable selection), (ii) the determination of structural relationships between the considered variables (arcs), and (iii) the estimation of parameters associated to the model. Once the PGM is learned, its results can be used together with an ontology reasoning engine to perform probabilistic inference. This first regular workshop aims at demonstrating recent and future advances in Semantic Probabilistic Graphical Models and Probabilistic Ontologies. Moreover, this workshop offers an invaluable opportunity to boost collaboration and conversation between Industrial Experts and academic researchers, allowing therefore exchanging ideas and presenting results of on-going research in structured knowledge and causality approaches. *Objective:* We invite submission of papers describing innovative research and applications around the following topics. Papers that introduce new theoretical concepts or methods, help to develop a better understanding of new emerging concepts through extensive experiments, or demonstrate a novel application of these methods to a domain are encouraged. *Topics of interests*: - Construction of probabilistic ontologies - Construction of semantic probabilistic graphical model - Semantic causality and probability - Causality and ontology - PGM for ontology mapping - PGM learning - Ontology for PGM construction - Probabilistic inference engine - Tools, systems and applications - and so on. *Submission:* The workshop is open to submit unpublished work resulting from research that presents original scientific results, methodological aspects, concepts and approaches. All submissions are not anonymous and must be PDF documents written in English and formatted using the following style files: KGSWC2021_authors_kit <http://www.springer.com/%20computer/lncs/lncs+authors?SGWID=0-40209-0-0-0?S…> Papers are to be submitted through the workshop's <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pgmonto2021>*EasyChair* submission page.

[CFP][Deadline Extended] 1st International Workshop on Deep Learning for Question Answering @ KGSWC 2021

02 Oct '21

Dear colleagues and researchers, Please consider submitting a paper for the 1st International workshop on "Deep Learning for Question Answering" which will be held online - November 19-24, 2021. *DLQA: **Deep Learning for Question Answering* 1st International Workshop, in conjunction with KGSWC 2021 <https://kgswc.org/> November 19- 24, 2021 - Online *https://kgswc.org/iwdlq2021/ <https://kgswc.org/iwdlq2021/>* *Important dates:* • Workshop paper submission due: October 18, 2021 • Workshop paper notifications: October 29, 2021 • Workshop paper camera-ready versions due: November 08, 2021 • Workshop: November 19-24, 2021 (half-day) All deadlines are 23:59 anywhere on earth (UTC-12). *Context of the workshop:* Question Answering System (QAS) is an important area in Artificial Intelligence. Generating automatic response is a fastidious and time-consuming task for there exists only some very general approaches to understand the intent of users. Question Answering (QA) is applied in many domain applications such as medical, finance, e-commerce, etc. Given a list of documents, a QAS can provide the right answer to the query pose in natural language. It combines natural language processing (NLP), information retrieval (IR) and knowledge representation and reasoning (KRR) as a relevant component for this process. The general process of QA is composed of different steps: (i) user query, (ii) question analysis (simple or complex query, open or closed domain, linguistic layer, semantic layer, etc), (iii) answer retrieval, and (iv) answer extraction from a set of candidate ones. All these steps are important to answer correctly, precisely and briefly to the user native language question. The answer can refer to a term, a sentence, an image, an audio, a video or to the full textual document. Recent Deep Learning approaches and information retrieval are implemented in order to reason over the questions and its links with the corresponding response. Modern NLP techniques make it possible for computers to read and interpret text, hear and understand speech, measure sentiment, and determine which parts in a document are important. Another important aspect of QAS is the integration of knowledge graphs (KGs) as a new dimension to provide a concise answer issued from the KG. KG is graph-based data model that structure and store real-world entities (abstract concepts) and their relationships (hierarchical and associative) in a graph. The KG is the most suitable and beneficial way to solve many challenging problems related to information domain. *Objective:* The first edition of this workshop aims at highlighting recent and future advances on question answering systems over structured semantic and unstructured textual data and to demonstrate the role of deep learning algorithms to enrich this process. In addition to that, the goal of this workshop is to bring together an area for experts from industry, science and academia to exchange ideas and discuss results of on-going research in Question Answering approaches. *Topics of interests*: • Question answering over Linked Data • Knowledge Graphs for Question Answering • Complex Question Answering over texts and linked data • Reasoning for Complex Question Answering • Natural Language Processing based question answering • Hybrid text and knowledge graph reasoning • SPARQL query pattern generation • Natural language querying of RDF exposed as Linked Data • Ontology-based query answering • Visual Question Answering • Image question answering • Audio and Speech Question Answering • Video Question Answering • Datasets combining structured and unstructured knowledge • Applications of question answering • and so on. *Submission:* The workshop is open to submit unpublished work resulting from research that presents original scientific results, methodological aspects, concepts and approaches. All submissions are not anonymous and must be PDF documents written in English and formatted using the following style files: KGSWC2021_authors_kit <http://www.springer.com/%20computer/lncs/lncs+authors?SGWID=0-40209-0-0-0?S…> Papers are to be submitted through the workshop's *EasyChair <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iwdlq2021>* submission page.
