Location: Tartu, Estonia 
Contact Person: Mírian Halfeld Ferrari

Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics 

Call Deadline: 09-Apr-2021 

Meeting Description:

Text are important sources of information and communication in diverse
domains. The intelligent, efficient and secure use of this information
requires, in most cases, the transformation of unstructured textual data into
data sets with some structure, and organized according to an appropriate
schema that follows the semantics of an application domain. Indeed, solving
the problems of modern society requires interdisciplinary research and
information cross-referencing, thus surpassing the simple provision of
unstructured data. There is a need for representations that are more flexible,
subtle and context-sensitive, which can also be easily accessible via
consultation tools and evolve according to these principles. In this context,
consultation requires robust and efficient processing of requests, which may
involve information analysis, with quality, consistency, and privacy
preservation guarantees. Knowledge bases can be built as these new generation
infrastructures which support data science queries on a user-friendly
framework and are capable of providing the required machinery for advised
decision-making.

The workshop focuses on transforming data into information and then into
knowledge. The idea is to gather researchers in NLP (Natural Language
Processing), DB (Databases), and AI (Artificial Intelligence) to discuss two
main problems :
- how to extract information from textual data and represent it in knowledge
bases;
- how to propose intelligent methods for handling and maintaining these
databases with new forms of requests, including efficient, flexible, and
secure analysis mechanisms, adapted to the user, and with quality and privacy
preservation guarantees.

This workshop focuses on all aspects concerning these modern infrastructures,
giving particular attention (but not limited to) to data related to health and
environmental domains.


Call for Papers: 

We invite the submission of work-in-progress that address various aspects of
information extraction from textual data, intelligent and efficient
interrogation, and maintenance of knowledge bases. The workshop welcomes
submissions of theoretical, technical, experimental, methodological papers,
application papers, position papers and papers on experience reports
addressing – though not limited to – the following topics:

 - Artificial intelligence in databases and information systems
 - Data curation, annotation, and provenance
 - Data management and analytics
 - Data mining and knowledge discovery
 - Data models and query languages
 - Data quality and data cleansing
 - Data science (theory and techniques)
 - Context-aware and adaptive information systems
 - Constraints extraction from text
 - Natural language processing
 - Indexing, query processing and optimization
 - Information and knowledge extraction
 - Information integration
 - Information quality
 - Graph databases
 - Knowledge bases (querying, management, evolution and dynamics)
 - Machine learning for knowledge graph construction, completion, refinement
 - Machine learning for knowledge and information extraction, for instance,
named entity disambiguation, sentiment analysis, relation extraction, or the
detection of claims, facts and stances from unstructured documents
 - Machine Learning in NLP
 - Methodologies, models, algorithms, and architectures for applied data
science
 - NLP for Digital Humanities
 - NLP & Knowledge Graphs
 - Privacy, trust and security in databases
 - Query processing and optimization
 - Question answering over knowledge graphs
 - Text databases

Preferred Application Domains (but not limited to): 
 - Bio-sciences and healthcare
 - Urban economy and urban environments
 - Energy 

DOING workshop intends to accept short (limited to 6 pages) and long (limited
to 12 pages) papers. DOING reserves the right to accept as short papers those
submitted as long, describing interesting and innovative ideas but still
requiring further technical development. Papers should be written in English,
formatted in Latex and present substantially original results. We adopt a
double blind review policy: the papers submitted for review MUST NOT contain
the authors’ names, affiliations, or any information that may disclose the
authors’ identity. Authors should consult Springer’s authors’ guidelines and
use their proceedings templates (you can download the templates available on
the bottom of that page).

Papers must be submitted via EASY CHAIR (link TBD)

Accepted papers will be published in the Springer CCIS series and the best
papers will be invited to a special issue of the journal Computer Science and
Information Systems.

Important Dates: 
Paper submission: April 9, 2021
Notification of acceptance: May 14, 2021
