Linguistic Field(s): Cognitive Science; Computational Linguistics; Neurolinguistics 

Call Deadline: 26-Apr-2019 

Meeting Description:

Semantic Web (SW) technologies and Deep Learning (DL) share the goal of
creating intelligent artifacts. Both disciplines have had a remarkable impact
in data and knowledge analysis, as well as knowledge representation, and in
fact constitute two complementary directions for modeling linguistic phenomena
and solving semantically complex problems. In this context, and following the
main foundations set in past editions, SemDeep-5 aims to bring together SW and
DL research as well as industrial communities. SemDeep-5 is interested in
contributions of DL to classic problems in semantic applications, such as:
(semi-automated) ontology learning, ontology alignment, ontology annotation,
duplicate recognition, ontology prediction, knowledge base completion,
relation extraction, and semantically grounded inference, among many others.
At the same time, we invite contributions that analyse the interaction of SW
technologies and resources with DL architectures, such as knowledge-based
embeddings, collocation discovery and classification, or lexical entailment,
to name only a few. This workshop seeks to provide an invigorating environment
where semantically challenging problems which appeal to both Semantic Web and
Computational Linguistic communities are addressed and discussed.


Call for Papers:

We invite submissions on any approach combining Semantic Web technologies and
Deep Learning and suggest the following topics.

Structured knowledge in deep learning:

- neural networks and logic rules for semantic compositionality
- learning and applying knowledge graph embeddings to NLP tasks
- learning semantic similarity and encoding distances as knowledge graph
- ontology-based text classification
- multilingual resources for neural representations of linguistics
- semantic role labeling

Reasoning and inferences and deep learning:

- commonsense reasoning and vector space models
- reasoning with deep learning methods
- learning knowledge representations with deep learning
- deep learning methods for knowledge-base completion
- deep ontology learning
- deep learning models for learning knowledge representations from text
- deep learning ontological annotations

Important Dates:

Submission deadline: Apr 26, 2019
Notification of acceptance: May 17, 2019
Camera-ready version: June 1, 2019
Workshop dates: Co-located with IJCAI (10-16 August 2019). Exact date to be
announced soon.

Submission Instructions:

We invite three types of submissions:

- Long papers (max. 6 pages)
- Short papers presenting innovative not fully empirically validated ideas or
position papers (max. 4 pages)
- Short system description papers for the challenge (max. 4 pages)

All papers need to follow the IJCAI formatting guidelines. One extra page for
references for all types of submission.
Paper submission will be electronic in PDF format through the EasyChair
conference management system: 
SemDeep_SubmissionPage(https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=semdeep4)

WiC Challenge

The workshop includes a challenge (shared task) on evaluating contextualized
word representations. The task is based on the WiC dataset
(https://pilehvar.github.io/wic/, NAACL 2019) and targets different areas of
lexical semantics including, but not limited to, sense representation, word
sense disambiguation, and contextualised word embeddings. Training,
development and test data will be provided for the participants. 

More information about the challenge and how to participate can be found at
https://competitions.codalab.org/competitions/20010 Important dates are shown
below. 

WiC Challenge dates:

Data available, evaluation start: 12 March 2019
Evaluation end: 12 April 2019
Submission of short system description paper: 26 April 2019
