CFP JoWS Special Issue on AI and Multimodal Knowledge Graphs

Dear all,

We are pleased to invite submissions to the Journal of Web Semantics
Special Issue on AI and Multimodal Knowledge Graphs. This special issue
builds on top of the outcomes of recent work and events on AI and
multimodality with Knowledge Graphs, and provides an opportunity to publish
novel work in the areas of AI, multimedia, multimodality and knowledge
graphs.

We encourage the submission of novel, previously unpublished research
related, but not limited, to one or more of the following themes and topics:


   -

   Use of AI models and multimodal generation for knowledge graphs
   -

   Use of knowledge graphs for computational creativity and generative AI
   -

   AI and knowledge graphs for multimodal feature representation (melody,
   harmony, rhythm, structure, timbre, genre, emotion, expression; image
   segmentation; video scene detection)
   -

   Knowledge graphs as training data for models addressing multimedia
   information retrieval tasks
   -

   Knowledge graphs and AI for MIR tasks
   -

   Linking multimedia to their cultural context through knowledge graphs
   and AI
   -

   Licensing issues and representation in generative AI and multimodal
   knowledge graphs
   -

   Multimodal knowledge graphs, MMKG models, and MMKG completion
   -

   Sonification, musicalisation, image generation of knowledge graphs
   -

   Knowledge graph-based cross-modal translation (triples-to-music,
   image-to-triples, etc.)
   -

   Evaluation and benchmarks for AI and multimodal knowledge graphs
   -

   Bias, fairness, and cultural awareness in AI and knowledge graphs
   -

   Large language models, knowledge graphs, and multimedia representation
   -

   Knowledge extraction from and data integration of multimedia sources
   -

   Multimedia metadata and ontologies
   -

   Musical and image reasoning with knowledge graphs and AI
   -

   Retrieval-Augmented Generation architectures involving AI models,
   knowledge graphs and multimedia
