[CFP] 2nd Knowledge Graph Summarization Workshop 2023 (co-located with ISWC'23)

Dear all, 

Please find below the CfP for the 2nd International Workshop on Knowledge Graph Summarization (KGSum) co-located with the International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC’23), to be held on November 6 or 7, 2023, in Athens, Greece.

There is a growing interest in generating summaries from the facts contained in a Knowledge Graph. Condensing relevant information into a few statistical data, sentences, paragraphs, or triplets is an emerging problem that remains to be solved as knowledge graphs increase complexity and expand in size and domains. Knowledge Graph Summarization (KGSum) aims at producing concise but informative descriptions of the content of a knowledge graph that help users to efficiently access and distill valuable information from it. Conversational systems, question-answering services or any other method leveraging the narrative content around the entities in a knowledge graph will benefit from these techniques.

This in-person workshop welcomes a wide range of papers, including full research papers, negative results, position papers, datasets, and system demos, that explore a variety of issues and processes related to the creation of summaries from knowledge graphs, such as question-answering, graph-to-text transformations, and entity summarization, among others. Also welcome are papers on resources (methods, tools, benchmarks, libraries, and datasets).

# Submission Guidelines

The accepted papers will have the opportunity to submit an extended version in a proposed SWJ's special issue. All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference/workshop. All submissions must be in English. Proceedings of the workshop will be publicly available under CC-by 4.0 license.

## Topics

We welcome submissions from multiple areas such as Semantic Web, Linked Data, Natural Language Processing (NLP), Entity Linking (EL), Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KRR), and other related fields that address the following topics (but not limited to):

* Methods to summarize KGs
    * Research work and initiatives related to verbalizing facts expressed through subject-predicate-object triplets
    * Automatic generation of textual summaries as a way to measure the quality of KGs
    * Integration between Language Models and KGs
* KGs features that affect summaries
    * Special features/metadata from KGs to generate coherent multi-sentence summaries
    * Extensions to current KGs formalisms to better support summaries
    * Benefits of incorporating automatic generation of textual summaries on KGs
* Scope and Impact of KG summaries
    * Use cases and applications for KGs summaries 
    * Generating adaptive summaries from KGs so they suit the needs of the different agents consuming it.
    * Importance/role of KGs in the generation of summaries that express complex ideas
    * How KGs in conjunction with textual summaries can be used to improve QA systems
