[CFP] 2nd Call for Participation - ISWC-LLMs4OL 2024 Challenge: Large Language Models for Ontology Learning

 [apologies if you received multiple copies of this call]

Dear colleagues and friends,

*We are pleased to release the 2nd Call for Participation - LLMs4OL
Challenge collocated with The International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC
2024)*

*Overview:* LLMs4OL stands for "Large Language Models for Ontology
Learning." The LLMs4OL paradigm was first introduced in our research paper (
https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-031-47240-4_22) published
in the ISWC 2023 main conference proceedings. In this context, we aimed to
test the readiness of LLMs to address the Ontology Learning (OL) task
w.r.t. three main subtasks: 1) Term Typing, 2) Type Taxonomy Discovery, and
3) Non-Taxonomic Relation Extraction. Therein our evaluations included
ontolgies from various knowledge domains, i.e. lexicosemantics (WordNet),
geography (GeoNames), biomedicine (NCI, MEDICIN, SNOMEDCT), and web content
types (schema.org). With the ISWC-LLMs4OL 2024 challenge, we aim to
catalyze community-wide engagement in validating and expanding the use of
LLMs in OL by releasing our evaluation datasets publicly in the community.
This initiative is poised to advance our comprehension of LLMs’ roles
within the Semantic Web, encouraging innovation and collaboration in
developing scalable and accurate OL methods.
