Fourth Call for Applications: The 14th
International Reasoning Web Summer School - RW
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
