EXTENDED DEADLINE OF THE

4TH WORKSHOP ON SEMANTIC DEEP LEARNING (SemDeep-4) @ ISWC 2018

Monterey, California

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 expressible linguistic phenomena and solving semantically 
complex problems. In this context, and following the main foundations 
set in past editions, SemDeep-4 aims to bring together SW and DL 
research as well as industrial communities.

SemDeep 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 Linguistics communities are 
addressed and
discussed.

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

*Firm* Submission deadline: June 4, 2018
Notification of acceptance: June 27, 2018
Camera-ready version: July 20, 2018
Workshop dates: October 8-9, 2018

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

We invite three types of submissions:

   1.  Long papers with new results (max. 12 pages)

   2.  Short papers presenting innovative not fully empirically 
validated ideas
or position papers (max. 4 pages)

   3.  Short descriptions of systems that participate in the demo jam 
(max. 4
pages)

All papers need to follow the LCNS formatting guidelines. The demo jam 
takes
the format of system demonstrations where the theoretical background may be
explained in the presentation slot and the functioning of the system is
showcased in a 5 minute demo.
