********************************************************************* *********** Call for Papers: Ontology Learning OL-2001 *********** ******************** IJCAI-2001 Workshop ************************* ********************************************************************* **************** August 4, 2001, Seattle, USA ********************* ********************************************************************* Comprehensive information to be found at http://ol2001.aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de The Semantic Web relies heavily on the formal ontologies that structure underlying data for the purpose of comprehensive and transportable machine understanding. Therefore, the success of the Semantic Web depends strongly on the proliferation of ontologies, which requires fast and easy engineering of ontologies and avoidance of a knowledge acquisition bottleneck. Ontology Learning greatly facilitates the construction of ontologies by the ontology engineer. For the workshop we intend to gather a diverse range of participants from a number of complementary disciplines: Text mining for building ontologies Learning from machine-readable dictionaries Lexical acquisition Learning selectional restrictions Semi-automatic extending of ontologies (WordNet) Multi-relational learning / Inductive Logic Programming A-Box Mining Learning ontologies with inferences (e.g. description logics) Learning ontologies from the Web (from DTDs, XML, RDF) Cooperative learning of ontologies Learning translation rules between ontologies Reverse Engineering relational schemas to ontologies Important Dates Deadline for paper submission: February 21, 2001 Notification of acceptance: March 21, 2001 Deadline final contributions: April 30, 2001 Organising Committee: Alexander Maedche, AIFB, University of Karlsruhe Steffen Staab, AIFB, University of Karlsruhe Ed Hovy, ISI, University of Southern California Claire Nedellec, LRI, Université Paris Sud Program Committee: Ido Dagan, Bar Ilan University, Israel Dieter Fensel, Free University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam, NL Asuncion Gomez-Perez, Universidad Politecnica de Madrid, Spain Nicola Guarino, National Research Council, Padova, Italy Udo Hahn, CLIF, University of Freiburg, Germany Ian Horrocks, University of Manchester, UK Paul Johannesson, University of Stockholm, Sweden Jörg-Uwe Kietz, Swiss Life, Zurich, Switzerland Yves Kodratoff, LRI, France Bob Krovetz, NEC Research Institute Stan Matwin, University of Ottawa, Canada Deborah McGuinness, Knowledge Systems Laboratory, Stanford Robert Meersman, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium Günter Neumann, DFKI, Germany Marie-Christine Rousset, LRI, France Rudi Studer, Institute AIFB, University of Karlsruhe, Germany Stefan Wrobel, University of Magdeburg, Germany -- Alexander Maedche University of Karlsruhe, Institute AIFB, D-76128 Karlsruhe, Germany Tel.: +49-(0)721-608 6558, Fax.: +49-(0)721-608 6580 e-mail: maedche@aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de www: http://www.aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de/WBS/ama
