CfP - Ordinal Methods for Knowledge Representation and Capture (OrMeKR @ K-CAP 2023)

by Tom Hanika

***** 1st CALL FOR PAPERS*****: First international workshop on *Ordinal Methods for Knowledge Representation and Capture (OrMeKR)* in conjunction with *The Twelfth International Conference on Knowledge Capture (K-CAP 2023)* December 5th, 2023, Pensacola, Florida, USA *Submission Deadline: October 15th, 2023* 1.1 Abstract and Scope: ─────────────────────── The concept of order (i.e., partial ordered sets) is predominant for perceiving and organizing our physical and social environment, for inferring meaning and explanation from observation, and for searching and rectifying decisions. Compared to metric methods, however, the number of (purely) ordinal methods for capturing knowledge from data is rather small, although in principle they may allow for more comprehensible explanations. The reason for this could be the limited availability of computing resources in the last century, which would have been required for (purely) ordinal computations. Hence, typically relational and especially ordinal data are first embedded in metric spaces for learning. Therefore, in this workshop we want to collect and discuss ordinal methods for capturing and representing knowledge, their role in inference and explainability, and their possibilities for knowledge visualization and communication. We want to reflect on these topics in a broad sense, i.e., as a tool to arrange, compare and compute ontologies or concept hierarchies, as a feature in learning and capturing knowledge, and as a measure to evaluate model performance. 1.2 Topics of Interest ────────────────────── • Ordinal Aspects for Knowledge Representation and Knowledge Bases • Knowledge Visualization using Order Relations • Ordinal Representation and Analysis of Ontologies • Data Fidelity and Reliability of Ordinal Methods • Theory and Application of Order Dimension and Related Notions • Ordinal Knowledge Spaces and Ordinal Exploration • Scaling and Processing Ordinal Information • Metric Structures in Order Relations • Algorithms for querying Large Ordinal Data • Knowledge Discovery in metric-ordinal Heterogeneous Representation • Ordinal Pattern Structures and Motifs • Methods for Representation Learning of Order Relations • Drawing of Hierarchical Graphs and Knowledge Structures • Non-Linear Ranking in Recommendation Applications • Linear Ordered Knowledge and Learning • Scheduling and Planning • Applications of Ordinal Methods to Scientific Knowledge (e.g., from domains such as Biology, Physics, Social Sciences, Digital Humanities, etc.) • Methodologically Related Fields such as Directed Graphs, Formal Concept Analysis, Conceptual Structures, Relational Data, Recommendation, Lattice Theory, with a Clear Reference to Order Relations and Knowledge 1.3 Important Dates (all dates are AoE) ─────────────────────────────────────── • Submission: October 15, 2023 • Author Notification: October 29, 2023 • Camera Ready: November 12, 2023 1.4 Submission Guidlines and Conditions ─────────────────────────────────────── OrMeKR will focus on contributions to the theory and application of ordinal methods in the realm of knowledge representation and capture. The workshop welcomes *report papers* (summaries of past work concerning ordinal methods), *research papers* (novel results), *position papers* (discussing issues concerning the usefulness of ordinal methods in KR), and *challenge papers* (describing limitations and open research questions). • Submissions should have a minimum of 5 pages and shall not exceed 8 pages. • Submission must use the provided CEUR Template: <https://www.kde.cs.uni-kassel.de/ormekr2023/ceur.zip> • The workshop is not double-blind, hence authors should list their names and affiliations on the submission. • Accepted Papers will be published in CEUR Workshop Proceedings corresponding to K-CAP. • Authors of accepted workshop papers will present their work in plenary sessions during the workshop on December 5th. • Submissions should be emailed to: *[ormekr2023(a)cs.uni-kassel.de]* 1.5 Organizing Committee ──────────────────────── • Tom Hanika ⁃ Institute for Computer Science, University of Hildesheim, Germany ⁃ Berlin School of Library and Information Science, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Germany • Dominik Dürrschnabel ⁃ Knowledge & Data Engineering Group, University of Kassel, Germany • Johannes Hirth ⁃ Knowledge & Data Engineering Group, University of Kassel, Germany 1.6 Program Committee ───────────────────── • Agnès Braud, Université de Strasbourg, France • Diana Christea, Babes-Bolyai University, Romania • Pablo Cordero, University of Malaga, Spain • Bernhard Ganter, TU Dresden, Germany • Rokia Missaoui, University of Quebec in Outaouais, Canada • Robert Jäschke, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Germany • Giacomo Kahn, Université Lumière Lyon 2, France • Léonard Kwuida, Bern University of Applied Sciences, Switzerland • Sebastian Rudolph, TU Dresden, Germany • Gerd Stumme, University of Kassel, Germany • Francisco J.

[OM-2023] 2nd CFP: 18th workshop on Ontology Matching collocated with ISWC

by Cassia TROJAHN

The 18th International Workshop on ONTOLOGY MATCHING (OM-2023) http://om2023.ontologymatching.org/ November 6th or 7th, 2023, International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC) Workshop Program, Athens, Greece BRIEF DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVES Ontology matching is a key interoperability enabler for the Semantic Web, as well as a useful technique in some classical data integration tasks dealing with the semantic heterogeneity problem. It takes ontologies as input and determines as output an alignment, that is, a set of correspondences between the semantically related entities of those ontologies. These correspondences can be used for various tasks, such as ontology merging, data interlinking, query answering or navigation over knowledge graphs. Thus, matching ontologies enables the knowledge and data expressed with the matched ontologies to interoperate. The workshop has three goals: 1. To bring together leaders from academia, industry and user institutions to assess how academic advances are addressing real-world requirements. The workshop will strive to improve academic awareness of industrial and final user needs, and therefore, direct research towards those needs. Simultaneously, the workshop will serve to inform industry and user representatives about existing research efforts that may meet their requirements. The workshop will also investigate how the ontology matching technology is going to evolve, especially with respect to data interlinking, knowledge graph and web table matching tasks. 2. To conduct an extensive and rigorous evaluation of ontology matching and instance matching (link discovery) approaches through the OAEI (Ontology Alignment Evaluation Initiative) 2023 campaign: http://oaei.ontologymatching.org/2023/ 3. To examine similarities and differences from other, old, new and emerging, techniques and usages, such as web table matching or knowledge embeddings. TOPICS of interest include but are not limited to: Business and use cases for matching (e.g., big, open, closed data); Requirements to matching from specific application scenarios; Formal foundations and frameworks for matching; Novel matching methods, including link prediction, ontology-based access; Matching and knowledge graphs; Matching and deep learning; Matching and embeddings; Matching and big data; Matching and linked data; Instance matching, data interlinking and relations between them; Privacy-aware matching; Process model matching; Large-scale and efficient matching techniques; Matcher selection, combination and tuning; User involvement (including both technical and organizational aspects); Explanations in matching; Social and collaborative matching; Uncertainty in matching; Expressive alignments; Reasoning with alignments; Alignment coherence and debugging; Alignment management; Matching for traditional applications (e.g., data science); Matching for emerging applications (e.g., web tables, knowledge graphs). SUBMISSIONS Contributions to the workshop can be made in terms of technical papers and posters/statements of interest addressing different issues of ontology matching as well as participating in the OAEI 2023 campaign. Long technical papers should be of max. 12 pages. Short technical papers should be of max. 6 pages. Posters/statements of interest should not exceed 3 pages.

collecting Jupyter notebooks for FCA

by Uta Priss

Hi, the CoNo-Concepts Workshop at ICFCA showed that there is growing interest in using Jupyter (and other) notebooks for FCA and that creating a page that collects these notebooks may be useful. Since many people host their notebooks on Github, the easiest way to create such a webpage is to add topics to the notebooks because Github automatically generates a page for each topic. My suggestion for such a topic is concept-analysis-notebooks If you add that to your notebook on Github, it will be added to the page https://github.com/topics/concept-analysis-notebooks BTW it is possible to directly execute notebooks without locally installing any software. One only needs to figure out the URL corresponding to a notebook (for example using https://mybinder.org/). For example, if your notebook resides at https://github.com/YOURNAME/YourRepository/folder/name.ipynb and the branch is "main" then it can be executed at https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/YOURNAME/YourRepository/main?urlpath=lab/tree/fo… without installing anything and without requiring any logins. If you include such a link in your description and Readme, then users can find it quickly. Best wishes Uta

[RecSys 2023] Fifth Knowledge-aware and Conversational Recommender Systems Workshop (KaRS 2023)

by Vito Walter Anelli

Call for Papers Fifth Knowledge-aware and Conversational Recommender Systems Workshop (KaRS 2023) https://kars-workshop.github.io/2023/ Sep. 18th - Sep. 22rd, 2023, Singapore Submission deadline: August 3rd, 2023, AoE [SCOPE] We are pleased to invite you to contribute to the Fifth Knowledge-aware and Conversational Recommender Systems Workshop held in conjunction with the ACM International Conference on Recommender Systems (RecSys 2023), Singapore, from September the 18th to September the 22nd, 2023. In the last few years, a renewed interest of the research community in conversational recommender systems (CRSs) is emerging. This is probably due to the great diffusion of Digital Assistants (DAs) such as Amazon Alexa, Siri, or Google Assistant that are revolutionizing the way users interact with machines. DAs allow users to execute a wide range of actions through an interaction mostly based on natural language messages. However, although DAs are able to complete tasks such as sending texts, making phone calls, or playing songs, they are still at an early stage in offering recommendation capabilities by using the conversational paradigm. In addition, we have been witnessing the advent of more and more precise and powerful recommendation algorithms and techniques able to effectively assess users' tastes and predict information that would probably be of interest to them. Most of these approaches rely on the collaborative paradigm (often exploiting machine learning techniques) and do not take into account the huge amount of knowledge, both structured and non-structured, describing the domain of interest of the recommendation engine. Although very effective in predicting relevant items, collaborative approaches miss some very interesting features that go beyond the accuracy of results and move in the direction of providing novel and diverse results as well as generating an explanation for the recommended items. Furthermore, this side information becomes crucial when a conversational interaction is implemented, in particular for the preference elicitation, explanation, and critiquing steps. The Fifth Knowledge-aware and Conversational Recommender Systems (KaRS) Workshop focuses on all aspects related to the exploitation of external and explicit knowledge sources to feed and build a recommendation engine, and on the adoption of interactions based on the conversational paradigm. The aim is to go beyond the traditional accuracy goal and to start a new generation of algorithms and approaches with the help of the methodological diversity embodied in fields such as Machine Learning (ML), Deep Learning (DL) – including Large Language Models (LLMs) –, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Information Retrieval (IR), Information Systems (IS). Consequently, the focus lies on works improving the user experience and following goals such as user engagement and satisfaction or customer value. The aim of this fifth edition of KaRS is to bring together researchers and practitioners around the topics of designing and evaluating novel approaches for recommender systems in order to: * share research and techniques, including new design technologies and evaluation methodologies; * identify the next key challenges in the area; * identify emerging topics in the field. [TOPICS] This workshop aims at establishing an interdisciplinary community with a focus on the exploitation of (semi-)structured knowledge and conversational approaches for recommender systems and promoting collaboration opportunities between researchers and practitioners. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Knowledge-aware Recommender Systems. - Models and Feature Engineering: - Knowledge-aware data models based on structured knowledge sources (e.g., Linked Open Data, BabelNet, Wikidata, etc.) - Semantics-aware approaches exploiting the analysis of textual sources (e.g., Wikipedia, Social Web, etc.) - Knowledge-aware user modeling - Methodological aspects (evaluation protocols, metrics, and data sets) - Logic-based modeling of a recommendation process - Knowledge Representation and Automated Reasoning for recommendation engines - Deep learning methods to model semantic features - Large language models (LLMs) for Knowledge-aware Recommender Systems - Beyond-Accuracy Recommendation Quality: - Using knowledge bases and knowledge graphs to increase recommendation quality(e.g., in terms of novelty, diversity, serendipity, or explainability) - Explainable Recommender Systems - Knowledge-aware explanations to recommendations (compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation) - Online Studies: - Using knowledge sources for cross-lingual recommendations - Applications of knowledge-aware recommenders (e.g., music or news recommendation, off-mainstream application areas) - User studies (e.g., on the user's perception of knowledge-based recommendations), field studies, in-depth experimental offline evaluations - Conversational Recommender Systems. - Design of a Conversational Agent: - Design and implementation methodologies - Dialogue management (end-to-end, dialog-state-tracker models) - UX design - Dialog protocols design - Large language models (LLMs) for Conversational Recommender Systems - User Modeling and interfaces: - Critiquing and user feedback exploitation - Short- and Long-term user profiling and modeling - Preference elicitation - Natural language-, multi-modal-, and voice-based interfaces - Next-question problem - Methodological and Theoretical aspects: - Evaluation and metrics - Datasets - Theoretical aspects of conversational recommender systems [SUBMISSIONS] Submissions of full research papers must be in English, in PDF format in the CEUR-WS two-column conference format available at: http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/CEURART.zip or at: https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/template-for-submissions-to-ceur-w… if an Overleaf template is preferred. Submission will be peer-reviewed and accepted papers will appear in the CEUR workshop series. Papers may range from theoretical works to system descriptions. We particularly encourage Ph.D. students or Early-Stage Researchers to submit their research. We also welcome contributions from the industry and papers describing ongoing funded projects which may result useful to the Knowledge-aware and Conversational Recommender Systems community. The conference language is English. We invite three kinds of submissions, which address novel issues in Knowledge-aware and Conversational Recommender Systems: * Long Papers should report on substantial contributions of lasting value. The Long papers must have a length of a minimum of 6 and a maximum of 8 pages (plus an unlimited number of pages for references). Each accepted long paper will be included in the CEUR online Workshop proceedings and presented in a plenary session as part of the Workshop program. * Short/Demo Papers typically discuss exciting new work that is not yet mature enough for a long paper. In particular, novel but significant proposals will be considered for acceptance in this category despite not having gone through sufficient experimental validation or lacking a strong theoretical foundation. Applications of recommender systems to novel areas are especially welcome. The Short/Demo papers must have a length of a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 5 pages (plus an unlimited number of pages for references). Each accepted short paper will be included in the CEUR online Workshop proceedings * Position/Discussion Papers describe novel and innovative ideas. Position papers may also comprise an analysis of currently unsolved problems, or review these problems from a new perspective, in order to contribute to a better understanding of these problems in the research community. We expect that such papers will guide future research by highlighting critical assumptions, motivating the difficulty of a certain problem, or explaining why current techniques are not sufficient, possibly corroborated by quantitative and qualitative arguments. The Position/Discussion papers must have a length of a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 3 pages (plus an unlimited number of pages for references). Original Position/Discussion accepted papers will be included in the CEUR online Workshop proceedings. Selected Position/Discussion papers will be invited as oral presentations. The review process is single-blind. Submitted papers will be evaluated according to their originality, technical content, style, clarity, and relevance to the workshop. Short and long paper submissions must be original work and may not be under submission to another venue at the time of review. Accepted papers will appear in the workshop proceedings. Submission will be through Microsoft CMT at: https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/kars2023 [IMPORTANT DATES] * Paper submissions due: August 3rd, 2023 * Paper acceptance notification: August 27th, 2023 * Camera-ready deadline: September 10th, 2023 * Workshop day: September 18th-22nd, 2023 Deadlines refer to 23:59 (11:59 pm) in the AoE (Anywhere on Earth) time zone.

ACM RecSys 2023 - Second Call for Late-Breaking Results

by acmrecsys＠gmail.com

** We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this CfP ** ** For the online version of this Call, visit: https://recsys.acm.org/recsys23/call/lbr ** We are pleased to invite you to contribute to the 17th ACM Conference on Recommender Systems (RecSys 2023), the premier venue for research on the foundations and applications of recommendation technologies. The upcoming RecSys conference will be held from September 18–22, 2023 in Singapore, with an inclusive format that accommodates remote attendance. Each accepted contribution is expected to be presented in person. The conference will continue RecSys’ practice of connecting researchers, practitioners, and students to exchange ideas, frame problems, and share solutions across a range of specialties concerned with recommendation. All accepted papers will be published by ACM. The Late-Breaking Results (LBR) track of RecSys offers an opportunity for presenting new, interesting, preliminary results and speculative or innovative work in progress. The track seeks novel contributions that should be published immediately, because they will influence the work of others. The topics listed in the main-track call for papers serve as a reference, but we also encourage submissions with clear relevance to recommender systems that extend this list. Accepted contributions for this track will be presented as posters, where the informal setting encourages presenters and participants to engage in lively discussions about the presented work. All submissions should convey a scientific result or work in progress that is not yet ready to be published as a research paper at a refereed conference, but the preliminary results are already interesting. Accepted submissions will be published as extended abstracts in the ACM RecSys 2023 conference proceedings. Submission Guidelines Submissions should report on new and preliminary contributions. The maximum length is 7 pages (excluding references) in the new single-column format. All submissions and reviews will be handled electronically. Submissions must be submitted to easychair by 23:59, AoE (Anywhere on Earth) by July 3rd, 2023. In addition to these guidelines, the guidelines in the main-track call for papers apply for Formatting, Anonymity, Ethical Review for Human-Subjects Research, Originality, Plagiarism and Patenting. Please make sure that you have read and understood those. SIGCHI SUBMITTER AGREEMENT RecSys 2023 is a SIGCHI conference and making a submission to a SIGCHI conference is a serious matter. Submissions require time and effort by SIGCHI volunteers to organize and manage the reviewing process, and, if the submission is accepted, the publication and presentation process. Thus, anyone who submits to RecSys 2023 implicitly confirms the following statements: 1. I confirm that this submission is the work of myself and my co-authors. 2. I confirm that I or my co-authors hold copyright to the content, and have obtained appropriate permissions for any portions of the content that are copyrighted by others. 3. I confirm that any research reported in this submission involving human subjects has gone through the appropriate approval process at my institution. 4. I confirm that if this paper is accepted, I or one of my co-authors will present the paper at the conference, either in person or through a conference-designated remote presentation option. Papers that are not presented at the conference by an author may be removed from the proceedings at the discretion of the program chairs. Important Dates * LBR submission deadline: July 3rd, 2023 * LBR notifications: July 21st, 2023 * LBR camera-ready paper: July 28th, 2023 Deadlines refer to 23:59 (11:59pm) in the AoE (Anywhere on Earth) time zone. Late-Breaking Results Chairs * Pigi Kouki, RelationalAI, USA * Ruiming Tang, Huawei Noah’s Ark Lab * Chao Huang, University of Hong Kong E-mail: demos_lbr2023(a)recsys.acm.org
