1st Workshop on Natural Scientific Language Processing and

Scientific research is almost exclusively published in unstructured text 
formats, which are not readily machine-readable. While technological 
approaches can help to get this flood of scientific information and new 
knowledge under control, the development of such technologies is very 
complex in practice and hinders the creation of infrastructures and 
systems to track research and assist the scientific community with 
applications such as dedicated scientific search engines and recommender 
systems. The 1st Workshop on Natural Scientific Language Processing and 
Research Knowledge Graphs (NSLP) aims to bring together researchers 
working on the processing, analysis, transformation and making-use-of 
scientific language and RKGs including all relevant sub-topics. NSLP 
2024 is a full-day workshop co-located with ESWC 2024 
<https://2024.eswc-conferences.org/>to be held in Crete, Greece, in May 
2024. The workshop will consist of two keynote speakers and two shared 
tasks, as well as presentations and posters of accepted papers.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to

   * Research/Scientific Knowledge Graphs (RKGs/SKGs) and other forms of
     Structured Scientific Knowledge Representation
   * Information Extraction for RKGs/SKGs
   * Question Answering over RKGs/SKGs
   * Scientific LLMs: LLMs for Natural Scientific Language Processing
   * Natural Scientific Language Processing (monolingual, cross-lingual,
     multilingual)
   * Language Resources and Language Technologies for Natural Scientific
     Language Processing
   * Information Extraction from Scholarly Publications
   * Classification of Scholarly Publications (document collections,
     individual documents, parts of documents)
   * Summarisation of Scholarly Articles
   * Scholarly Information Retrieval and Scientific Search Engines
   * Digital Libraries of Scholarly Information
   * Metadata and Cataloging
   * Bibliometrics and Scientometrics
   * Domain-specific Adaptation of Natural Language Processing (NLP)
     methods for NSLP purposes
   * Micropublications and Nanopublications

Important dates
****************
   * Deadline for submissions: March 7, 2024
   * Notification of acceptance: April 4, 2024
   * Deadline for camera-ready papers: April 18, 2024

Submissions
*************
The NSLP workshop invites submissions of regular long papers (up to 15 
pages, Springer LNCS style), position papers, and short papers (up to 8 
pages, Springer LNCS style) presenting negative results, in-progress 
projects, and demos. We especially encourage submissions from junior 
researchers and students from diverse backgrounds.

We’ll attempt to publish the proceedings of the workshop in an Open 
Access book volume.

Shared tasks
**************
The workshop will offer two shared tasks:

   * FoRC: Field of Research Classification of Scholarly Publications
   * SOMD: Software Mention Detection in Scholarly Publications

The NSLP 2024 website <https://nfdi4ds.github.io/nslp2024/>provides more 
information on the shared tasks.
