Call Deadline: 10-Feb-2018 

Meeting Description:

The Web Conference showcases state-of-the-art research in the fields of
information retrieval, machine learning, artificial intelligence and computer
science in general. The theme of this workshop is Extreme Multilabel
Classification (XMLC). 

XMLC is a very active and rapidly growing research area that deals with the
problem of labeling an item with a set of tags out of an extremely large
number of potential tags. While the difficulty and the potential applications
of XMLC are well understood in the core machine learning community, to the
best of our knowledge, XMLC has not made inroads in the field of Information
Retrieval (IR) and related areas. The aim of this workshop is to bring
researchers from academia and industry to further advance this very exciting
field and come up with potential applications of XMLC in new areas.


Call for Papers:

Authors are invited to submit long (8 pages) and short (4 pages) papers,
please clicks the following link for submission: 

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=www2018satellites 

Topics of interest include: 

Given that the main aim of this workshop is to identify new application areas
for XMLC, we propose topics that are aligned with this goal along with other
topics in this area: 

- New applications of XMLC: social media events, hashtags detection e.g.,
Twitter moments, e-commerce, multi-lingual XMLC 

- Structured XMLC: knowledge graph/taxonomy, events as labels: temporally
structured events, spatially similar events 

- Incremental inclusion of new labels and training data: zero shot learning,
pre- and post-training, active learning 

- Multi-task multilabel learning: transfer learning, semi-supervised learning 

- Computational aspects of XMLC: log-time and log-space prediction, model and
computation parallelization 

- Bayesian models for XMLC: generative models for XMLC, tackling label
polysemy, synonymy and correlations. 

- Deep XMLC: neural models for XMLC 

- Evaluation for XMLC: novel metrics for XMLC evaluation 

- Feature extraction and feature engineering for XMLC
