20th International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC 2021) Virtual, October 24-28, 2021 https://iswc2021.semanticweb.org In this announcement: 1. Call for Research papers 2. Call for In-Use papers 3. Call for Resource papers 1. Call for Research papers ******************************************* In this track of ISWC 2021, we are looking for novel and significant research contributions addressing theoretical, analytical and empirical aspects of the Semantic Web. While we welcome work that relates to the W3C Semantic Web recommendations (e.g., RDF, OWL, SPARQL, etc.), we also encourage contributions to research at the intersection of the Semantic Web and other scientific disciplines. Submissions to the research track should describe original, significant, and replicable research on the Semantic Web. All papers must include method evaluations that are rigorous, repeatable and reproducible. This will be one of the key reviewing criteria. We also strongly encourage papers that provide links to the data sets, source code and queries used to evaluate their approach, and/or live deployments. Topics of interest and further details: https://iswc2021.semanticweb.org/research-track Track Chairs: - Eva Blomqvist (University of Linköping, Sweden) - Andreas Hotho (University of Würzburg, Germany) Contact: iswc2021-program(a)easychair.org 2. Call for In-Use papers ******************************************* The In-Use track at ISWC 2021 continues the tradition of demonstrating and sharing the increasing adoption of Semantic Web technologies by providing a forum for the community to explore the benefits and challenges of applying such technologies in concrete, practical use cases, beyond the research communities from which they originate, in contexts ranging from industry to government and society. The In-Use track thus seeks submissions describing applied and validated solutions such as software tools, systems or architectures that benefit from the use of Semantic Web technologies (including, but not limited to, technologies based on the Semantic Web standards). Topics of interest and further details: https://iswc2021.semanticweb.org/in-use-call Track Chairs: - Ying Ding (University of Texas at Austin, USA) - Payam Barnaghi (Imperial College London, UK) Contact: iswc2021-in-use(a)easychair.org 3. Call for Resource papers ******************************************* The ISWC 2021 Resources Track aims to promote the sharing of resources which support, enable or utilise semantic web research. Resources include, but not restricted to: datasets, ontologies/vocabularies, ontology design patterns, evaluation benchmarks or methods, software tools/services, APIs and software frameworks, workflows, crowdsourcing task designs, protocols, methodologies and metrics, that have contributed or may contribute to the generation of novel scientific work. In particular, we encourage the sharing of such resources following best and well-established practices within the Semantic Web community. As such, this track calls for contributions that provide a concise and clear description of a resource and its usage.

CfP ISWC 2021 - 2nd Call for Doctoral Consortium papers
by International Semantic Web Conference 16 Mar '21

16 Mar '21

20th International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC 2021) Virtual, October 24-28, 2021 https://iswc2021.semanticweb.org The ISWC 2021 Doctoral Consortium (DC) will take place virtually as part of the 20th International Semantic Web Conference. This forum will provide PhD students an opportunity to: ● present and discuss their research ideas in a supportive, formative and yet critical environment; ● receive feedback from mentors, typically senior members of the Semantic Web research community, and peers; ● explore career pathways available after completing their PhD degree, and finally ● network and build collaborations with other members of the community. The event is intended for students who are midway through their PhD, therefore at a stage where they have articulated a reasonably detailed research proposal, preferably supported by some preliminary results. The aim is to support the students in refining their proposal and suggest possible ways to improve their research plan and achieve results with prospective greater impact. While doctoral degrees can vary in format and conduct, we aim this Call for Papers to PhD candidates in their second, or early in their third year and who will have already partially investigated some specific problems. Students will be required to submit a paper to the doctoral consortium, structured like a research proposal. All proposals submitted to the Doctoral Consortium will undergo a rigorous review process by the International Programme Committee, who will provide detailed and constructive feedback and select those submissions to be presented at the Doctoral Consortium. If accepted, students will have to register and attend the event, which will include a range of interactive activities. Important Dates: - Papers due: 3 May, 2021 - Notification to proposers: 31 May 2021 - DC Day: 25 October, 2021 Submission link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iswc2021 Details: https://iswc2021.semanticweb.org/doctoral-consortium-call DC Chairs: - Miriam Fernandez (Open University, UK) - Valentina Tamma (University of Liverpool, UK) Follow ISWC on social media: - Twitter: @iswc_conf #iswc_conf (https://twitter.com/iswc_conf) - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/13612370 - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ISWConf The ISWC 2021 Organising Team https://iswc2021.semanticweb.org/organizing-committee

[LAST CFP] 2nd International workshop on Deep Learning meets Ontologies and Natural Language Processing @ESWC-2021
by Sarra Ben Abbès 09 Mar '21

09 Mar '21

Dear colleagues and researchers, Please consider submitting a paper for the 2nd International workshop "*Deep Learning meets Ontologies and Natural Language Processing*" which will be held online or in Hersonissos, Greece - June 6th 2021. ** *DeepOntoNLP* - Call for Papers *** Deep Learning meets Ontologies and Natural Language Processing (DeepOntoNLP) https://sites.google.com/view/deepontonlp-eswc2021 in conjunction with ESWC 2021 <https://2021.eswc-conferences.org/> online or in Hersonissos, Greece **Important dates** - Workshop paper submission due: *March 1st, 2021** March 14th, 2021* - Workshop paper notifications: March 31st, 2021 - Workshop paper camera-ready versions due: April 9th, 2021 - Workshop: June 6th, 2021 (Half-Day) All deadlines are 23:59 anywhere on earth (UTC-12). **Workshop description** In recent years, deep learning is applied successfully and achieved state-of-the-art performance in a variety of domains, such as image analysis. Despite this success, deep learning models remain hard to analyse data and understand what knowledge is represented in them, and how they generate decisions. Deep Learning (DL) meets Natural Language Processing (NLP) to solve human language problems for further applications, such as information extraction, machine translation, search and summarization. Previous works has attested the positive impact of domain knowledge on data analysis and vice versa, for example pre-processing data, searching data, redundancy and inconsistency data, knowledge engineering, domain concepts and relationships extraction, etc. Ontology is a structured knowledge representation that facilitates data access (data sharing and reuse) and assists the DL process as well. DL meets recently ontologies and tries to model data representations with many layers of non-linear transformations. The combination of DL, ontologies and NLP might be beneficial for different tasks: · Deep Learning for Ontologies: ontology population, ontology extension, ontology learning, ontology alignment and integration, · Ontologies for Deep Learning: semantic graph embeddings, latent semantic representation, hybrid embeddings (symbolic and semantic representations), · Deep Learning for NLP: summarization, translation, named entity recognition, question answering, document classification, etc. · NLP for Deep Learning: parsing (part-of-speech tagging), tokenization, sentence detection, dependency parsing, semantic role labeling, semantic dependency parsing, etc. **Objective** This workshop aims at demonstrating recent and future advances in semantic rich deep learning by using Semantic Web and NLP techniques which can reduce the semantic gap between the data, applications, machine learning process, in order to obtain a semantic-aware approaches. In addition, 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 natural language processing, structured knowledge and deep learning approaches. We invite the submission of original works that is related -- but are not limited to -- the topics below. **Topics of interests** · Construction ontology embeddings · Ontology-based text classification · Learning ontology embeddings · Semantic role labelling · Ontology reasoning with Deep Neural Networks · Deep learning for ontological semantic annotations · Spatial and temporal ontology embeddings · Ontology alignment and matching based on deep learning models · Ontology learning from text using deep learning models · Unsupervised Learning · Text classification using deep models · Neural machine translation · Deep question answering · Deep text summarization · Deep speech recognition · 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 must be PDF documents written in English and formatted according to LNCS instructions for authors <https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.springer.com%2Ffr%2Fcomputer…>.
