<p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoPlainText"><font face="Courier New"> </font></p>
<p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoPlainText"><font face="Courier New">*** Description</font></p>
<p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoPlainText"><font face="Courier New">===============</font></p>
<p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoPlainText"><font face="Courier New"> </font></p>
<p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoPlainText"><font face="Courier New">Until a decade ago, the fields of information extractions (IE) and knowledge acquisition (KA) were limited to identifying and extracting named entities, semantic and ontological relations, events, templates, and facts in relatively small text corpora using a small variety of external resources such as gazetteers, thesauri, and lexical hierarchies.</font></p>
<p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoPlainText"><font face="Courier New"> </font></p>
<p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoPlainText"><font face="Courier New">Today everything has changed. The size of corpora has grown dramatically: using Gigaword-scale data is common, and it is almost standard to use the Web, which contains quadrillions of words, or at least the Web 1T 5-grams (Google n-gram corpus). More importantly, new types of communication have emerged, such as chats, blogs and, in the last 2-3 years, Twitter, whose informal language poses many challenges to automatic IE and KA, yet they are becoming increasingly important, e.g., for learning customer opinions on various products and services. Social network analysis is another emerging topic, where data is naturally much more interconnected than in the rest of the Web.</font></p>
<p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoPlainText"><font face="Courier New"> </font></p>
<p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoPlainText"><font face="Courier New">All these recent developments have posed not only new challenges, but have also created a number of opportunities, opening new research directions, and offering new useful resources. For example, the growth of Wikipedia has given rise to DBpedia and other collaboratively-created resources such as Freebase. Today, IE and KA researchers can even create annotations and resources on demand as they need them for a very low price using crowd-sourcing tools such as Amazon’s Mechanical Turk.</font></p>
<p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoPlainText"><font face="Courier New"> </font></p>
<p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoPlainText"><font face="Courier New">The workshop will provide a place for researchers to discuss all these exciting developments and their implications for the future of IE and KA.</font></p>
