Location: Singapore, Singapore 
Contact Person: Yakub Sebastian
Meeting Email: ysebastian at swinburne.edu.my

Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics; Computational Linguistics; Discourse Analysis; Semantics; Text/Corpus Linguistics 

Subject Language(s): English (eng)

Call Deadline: 24-Jan-2020 

Meeting Description:

Literature-based discovery (LBD) addresses a key knowledge discovery challenge
of the Big Data era: How to generate novel and actionable knowledge from vast,
diverse, and seemingly disconnected fragments of information. Incorporating
state-of-the-art data science, natural language processing, and network
science techniques, LBD methods and algorithms have the potential to
revolutionize drug discovery and repurposing, gene-disease association
discovery, and many other applications in bioinformatics and other fields. LBD
2020 is the first international forum fully dedicated to literature-based
discovery research. It is an excellent opportunity for active researchers and
LBD enthusiasts to share their ongoing work, to form collaborations, and to
identify grand research challenges.


Call for Papers:

First International Workshop on Literature-Based Discovery (LBD 2020)

In conjunction with the 24th Pacific-Asia Conference on Knowledge Discovery
and Data Mining (PAKDD 2020), May 11 – 14, 2020 in Singapore

Important Dates:

Paper submission due date: January 24, 2020
Author notification: February 10, 2020
Workshop camera-ready due: March 6, 2020
Indicative workshop date: May 11 – 14, 2020 (the exact date forthcoming)

Theme: Discovering New Frontiers

Literature-based discovery (LBD) addresses a key knowledge discovery challenge
of the Big Data era: How to generate novel and actionable knowledge from vast,
diverse, and seemingly disconnected fragments of information. Incorporating
state-of-the-art data science, natural language processing, and network
science techniques, LBD methods and algorithms have the potential to
revolutionize drug discovery and repurposing, gene-disease association
discovery, and many other applications in bioinformatics and other fields.

LBD 2020 is the first international forum fully dedicated to literature-based
discovery research. It is an excellent opportunity for active researchers and
LBD enthusiasts to share their ongoing work, to form collaborations, and to
identify grand research challenges. The workshop theme “Discovering New
Frontiers” not only reflects its increasingly pervasive applications, but also
the timely re-thinking of its future directions. The workshop shall be an
important milestone this field.

Scope:

Submitted papers may include, but are not limited to, the following topics:

- Information retrieval, novel search and ranking techniques
- Language models, NLP, document representation
- Question answering
- Cross- and multi-lingual search
- Graph mining, query and link analysis
- Interactive and personalized search, modeling search activity
- User-centered interaction studies and evaluation methods
- Science mapping
- New datasets
- Algorithms in knowledge discovery, machine learning, deep learning, word
embedding
- New models of LBD beyond the classic ABC model
- LBD visualization

Papers that describe experimental studies are especially welcome.

Organizers:

Program Co-Chairs
Neil R. Smalheiser, University of Illinois at Chicago, U.S.A.
Yakub Sebastian, Swinburne University of Technology Sarawak Campus, Malaysia
Submission and Peer Review

Regular papers (maximum 8 pages) should be prepared in English and follow the
Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) template, downloadable from
here
(https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guid
elines). All papers must be submitted via our EasyChair submission page
(https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lbd2020) and will go through a
single-blind peer review process. Only manuscripts in PDF or Microsoft Word
format will be accepted. Submitting a paper to the workshop means that the
authors agree that at least one author should attend the workshop to present
the paper, if the paper is accepted. For no-show authors, their affiliations
will receive a notification.

Publication:

To encourage free discussion of new ideas and works in progress, accepted
papers need not be ready for formal publication. However, if authors would
like their papers to be considered for the LNCS/LNAI post Proceedings of PAKDD
Workshops published by Springer (indexed by EI Compendex, ISI Proceedings, and
Scopus), please indicate this at the time of submission, and the Program
Committee will review the submission for suitability, including suggestions
for revision/expansion of the paper. The journal Frontiers in Research Metrics
and Analytics is also planning an Article Collection on literature-based
discovery; details on how authors may submit their papers to this Collection
will be forthcoming.
