Call for Participation - Knowledge Graph Technology and Applications @ WWW2019, May 13, San Francisco

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The First International Workshop on Knowledge Graph Technology and 
Applications
Co-located with WWW2019 (https://www2019.thewebconf.org/)
https://datainnovation.soic.indiana.edu/www2019_kgta/index.html
May 13, 2019, San Francisco, California, USA

Knowledge Graphs are graph structures that capture knowledge in the form 
of entities, relationships between them, properties, and additional 
information including provenance. Along with Semantic Web standards, 
advances in Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Natural Language 
Processing, and Information Retrieval has led to automated construction 
of knowledge graphs such as DBpedia, YAGO, Wikidata, proprietary 
Knowledge Graphs such as those from Google, LinkedIn, and Microsoft, and 
Product Knowledge Graphs from companies such as Amazon and eBay. 
Knowledge Graphs are used in a range of applications including search, 
question answering, data integration, recommender systems, etc., across 
several domains such as the Web, e-commerce, healthcare, geoscience, 
manufacturing, aviation, and power, oil and gas. There are several 
challenges related to knowledge graphs from the perspective of both the 
technology and its applications. This workshop aims to foster 
discussions along these perspectives.
