CFP: 2nd Int. Workshop on Natural Scientific Language Processing and Research Knowledge Graphs (NSLP 2025)

2nd International Workshop on Natural Scientific Language Processing and
Research Knowledge Graphs (NSLP 2025)
***************************************

01 or 02 June 2025 (tbc)
Portoroz, Slovenia
(NSLP 2025 is co-located with ESWC2025)
=> https://nfdi4ds.github.io/nslp2025/

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 2nd International Workshop on Natural Scientific Language 
Processing and Research Knowledge Graphs (NSLP) aims to bring together 
researchers working on the processing, analysis, transformation and 
exploitation of scientific language and research knowledge graphs 
including all relevant sub-topics. NSLP 2025 is a full-day workshop 
co-located with ESWC 2025 <https://2025.eswc-conferences.org/>to be held 
in Portoroz, Slovenia on 01 or 02 June 2025 (to be confirmed).

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
   * Other types of usage of RKGs/SKGs for downstream applications
   * Scientific LLMs: LLMs for Natural Scientific Language Processing (NSLP)
   * NSLP (monolingual, cross-lingual, multilingual)
   * Language Resources and Language Technologies for NSLP
   * Domain-specific Adaptation of NSLP Methods
   * Information Extraction from Scholarly Publications
   * Classification of Scholarly Publications (document collections,
     individual documents, parts of documents)
   * Summarisation of Scholarly Publications
   * Scholarly Information Retrieval and Scientific Search Engines
   * Digital Libraries of Scholarly Information
   * Bibliometrics and Scientometrics
   * Micropublications and Nanopublications


Important Dates
********************
   * Paper submission deadline: 06 March 2025
   * Notification of acceptance: 03 April 2025
   * Camera-ready submission: 17 April 2025
   * Workshop: 01 or 02 June 2025 (tbc)


Submissions
*****************
The NSLP 2025 workshop invites submissions of regular long papers, 
position papers, and short papers presenting negative results, 
in-progress projects, and demos. We especially encourage submissions 
from junior researchers and students from diverse backgrounds.

   * The workshop invites anonymoussubmissions of regular long papers (up
     to 15 pages without references and appendix)and short papers (up to
     8 pages without references and appendix)presenting negative results,
     in-progress projects, and demos. In both categories, position papers
     can be submitted as well.
   * Authors are permitted to include an optional appendix of up to 2
     pages. However, reviewers will not be mandated to review the
     appendix; all papers must be self-contained.
   * Reviewing will be performed double-blind. Reviewers will not
     actively try to identify the authors.
   * Submissions must be in PDF, formatted in the style of the Springer
     Publications format for Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS).
   * The proceedings of this workshop will be published as an Open Access
     volumein the Springer series Lecture Notes in Artificial
     Intelligence (LNAI), fully sponsored by the NFDI4DS project.
   * At least one author per contribution must register for the
     conference for presentation as ESWC 2025 (including all workshops)
     is an in-person event.
   * We will not accept work that is under review or has already been
     published in or accepted for publication in a journal, another
     conference, or another workshop.
   * All submissions are done via EasyChair:
     https://easychair.org/conferences?conf=nslp2025
