2018)
====================================================================================================
Luxembourg, 22 - 26 Sep 2018
http://2018.ruleml-rr.org/rw.html
==Summary==
The Reasoning Web Summer School 2018, as part of the annual
series of summer schools, welcomes applications from Master
and PhD students as well as from postdoctoral researchers,
young researchers, and senior researchers wishing to learn
about the research areas of Semantic Web and related sub-areas
such as Linked Data, Knowledge Graphs, Ontologies, Rules, and
Logic.
Participants to the summer school will have the opportunity to
attend lectures, to be involved in working groups concerning
small case studies or research tasks to focus on and to be
presented in a final plenary session, discuss ideas and
closely interact with leading researchers in the Semantic Web
community and beyond.
==Program==
This year’s school program will include the following topics
and lecturers:
• Information Extraction for Knowledge Graph Construction -
Philipp Cimiano, University of Bielefeld
• Semantic Data in the Cloud - Steffen Staab and Daniel Janke,
University of Koblenz Landau
• Machine Learning with and for Knowledge Graphs - Heiko
Paulheim, University of Mannheim
• Stream Reasoning - Emanuele Della Valle, Politecnico di
Milano
• Learning and Reasoning in Knowledge Graphs - Daria
Stepanova, Max Planck Institute
• Normative reasoning for the Semantic Web - Guido
Gorvernatori, Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research
Organisation
• Efficient SPARQL queries on very large Knowledge Graphs -
Hannah Bast, University of Freiburg
• Reasoning at Scale - Jacopo Urbani, Vrije Universiteit
Amsterdam
• Deep Learning for the Semantic Web - Thomas Lukasiewicz,
University of Oxford
Although no specific background knowledge is required for
attending the summer school, basics of Knowledge
Representation and the Semantic Web (including technologies
such as RDF, OWL, etc.) will be helpful for benefiting from
the contents of the school. Students are also committed to a
full participation for the whole duration of the school.
==Registration Fees==
The registration fees for attending the RW Summer School will
be 300 EUR (if your RW registration is bundled with the one
for RuleML-RR) and 350 EUR (if you choose to only register for
RW), respectively. This includes all lectures and teaching
sessions, lunches, coffee breaks, school proceedings and a
social event.
==Student Grants==
A limited number of grants will be available for selected
students who would otherwise not be able to attend the summer
school. As such, please ask for financial support in your
application (see “Application” section) only if this is the
necessary condition for you to participate in the summer
school.
==Application==
Students and researchers interested in participating need to
submit their application by June 30, 2018 via EasyChair using
the following link:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rw2018.
The application should consist of a single pdf file that
includes:
• A single-page CV.
• A short motivation letter of up to 300 words stating
research interests and reasons for the willingness to attend
the summer school.
• Necessity for a visa to enter Luxembourg (Yes or No). If
required, invitation letters will be set up.
• Necessity for financial support. A limited number of travel
grants will be provided, please thus ask for financial support
only if this is a necessary condition for you to join the
school. Please add a rough quote for your estimated expenses
(travel + hotel costs) to your application in this case.
Notifications about the selection results will be sent by July
15, 2018
