Special Issue on Language Technology and
Knowledge Graphs
Submission deadline: 30 September 2019
Call for Papers
Language understanding and knowledge
engineering are among the most active research and
development areas due to the proliferation of big data.
This special issue on Language Technology and Knowledge
Graphs is devoted to gather and present innovative
research, systems and applications that address the
challenges in the broad areas of language and knowledge
intelligence, presenting a platform for researchers to
share their recent observations and achievements in the
field. Special topics for this special issue include but
are not limited to:
1. Textual Entailment and Knowledge
* Textual entailment
* Fact checking
* Fake news detection
* Argumentation mining
2. Knowledge-Guided NLP
* Question answering and reading
comprehension
* Dialogue systems
* Information Retrieval
* Multilinguality
* Recommender systems
* Machine Translation
* Knowledge-Guided Deep Learning
* Complex knowledge-driven Information
Extraction tasks e.g., relation extraction, event
extraction
* Methods and metrics for evaluation of
semantic annotations with respect to ontologies
* Knowledge-driven entity disambiguation and
resolution
3. Contextual Knowledge Graphs and Language
Technology
* Extracting and modelling temporally
bounded information
* Dealing with culturally-aware information
* Handling domain specificity of information
4. Information Extraction for Knowledge Graphs
* Extraction from unstructured versus
semi-structured textual sources (e.g. tables)
* Dealing with the imperfections of
Information Extraction techniques in the Semantic Web
setting and their impact
* Multi-source or multilingual Information
Extraction for ontology population
* Information extraction subtasks (e.g.,
terminology extraction, relation extraction, coreference
resolution) for the Semantic Web
* Methods and metrics for evaluation of
Information Extraction for the Semantic Web
5. Applications and Architectures
* Knowledge-based Information Extraction for
specific domains and applications, e.g. business
analytics, healthcare and biomedicine, cultural heritage
etc.
* Information Extraction for social media
mining
* Scalability of tools and resources
* Platforms and architectures for automatic
and semi-automatic semantic annotation
* Tools and methodologies for building and
managing complex processing workflows
