by Selja Seppälä 22 Dec '22

22 Dec '22

*** Apologies for cross-posting *** FOIS 2023: 2nd Call for Papers ============================== 13th International Conference on Formal Ontology in Information Systems (FOIS 2023), July 17-20, 2023 (Sherbrooke, QC, Canada) and Sept 18-20, 2023 (Online) http://fois2023.griis.ca We are happy to announce three exciting keynote speakers for FOIS 2023: - Deborah McGuinness, Tetherless World Senior Constellation Chair and Professor of Computer and Cognitive Science, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, USA - John Heil, Professor of Philosophy, Washington University, USA and Durham University, UK - Michael Gruninger, Professor of Industrial Engineering, University of Toronto, Canada More information about our keynotes speakers: https://fois2023.griis.ca/keynote-speakers/ Definition and scope ==================== The FOIS conference is a meeting point for all researchers with an interest in formal ontology. Formal ontology is the systematic study of the types of entities and relations making up the domains of interest represented in modern information systems. The conference encourages submission of high quality, not previously published results on both theoretical issues and practical advancements. FOIS 2023 will have distinct tracks for foundational issues, ontology applications and methods, and domain ontologies. FOIS aims to be a nexus of interdisciplinary research and communication for researchers from many domains engaging with formal ontology. Common application areas include conceptual modeling, database design, knowledge engineering and management, software engineering, organizational modeling, artificial intelligence, robotics, computational linguistics, the life sciences, bioinformatics and scientific research in general, geographic information science, information retrieval, library and information science, as well as the Semantic Web. FOIS is the flagship conference of the International Association for Ontology and its Applications (IAOA: http://iaoa.org/), which is a non-profit organization promoting interdisciplinary research and international collaboration in formal ontology. Important dates =============== - Paper submission deadline: 31 January 2023 - Author rebuttal period: March 24-31, 2023 (tentative) - Notifications: April 10, 2023 (tentative) - Camera-ready papers: May 1, 2023 - Onsite conference: July 17-20, 2023 - Virtual conference: September 18-20, 2023 The submission deadline for workshops will be after the notifications to allow authors to submit a revised version of rejected papers to any of the conference workshops if the paper topics are appropriate for this workshop. Location ======== FOIS 2023 will consist of a physical meeting and a virtual meeting: An in-person only meeting in Sherbrooke, Quebec from July 17 to 20, 2023 that will be very much like a traditional conference with keynotes, regular talks, workshops and tutorials and plenty of social and networking opportunities. This part will not have a remote participation option, but we plan on recording selected talks (e.g. keynotes). The main conference will be from July 17 to 19 and workshops and tutorials will be held mostly on July 20. This will be followed by an online part to be held from September 18 to 20, 2023 that offers an opportunity for presentation and discussion of additional papers that were not presented at the physical meeting in Sherbrooke. To plan for this two-part event, authors must at the time of submission indicate their preference and constraints for presenting either on site in Sherbrooke or virtually. Acceptance will be either for in-person presentation or for online presentation, at which time authors can no longer change the modality. Since the numbers of in-person and online presentations are limited, we encourage authors to be as flexible as possible to maximize your chance of paper acceptance. More details are provided in the Submission Instructions. Submissions =========== FOIS 2023 seeks three types of full-length (14 pages) high-quality papers on a wide range of topics: Foundational papers address content-related ontological issues, their formal representation, and their relevance to some aspect of information systems. Application and Methods papers address novel systems, methods, and tools related to building, evaluating, or using ontologies, emphasizing the impact of ontology contents. Domain ontology papers describe a novel ontology for a specific realm of interest, clarifying ontological choices against requirements and foundational theory, and showing ontology use. Please refer to the submission instructions for more details. As usual, the FOIS proceedings will be published by IOS Press. The conference will also offer workshops and tutorials related to formal ontologies. See the separate call for workshops and tutorials for more information. Topics of interest ================== Areas of particular interest to FOIS include the following: - Foundational Issues - Kinds of entities: particulars/universals, continuants/occurrents, abstracta/concreta, dependent entities/independent entities, natural objects/artifacts, events/processes - Formal relations: parthood, identity, connection, dependence, constitution, causality, subsumption, instantiation - Vagueness and granularity - Space, time, and change - Methodological issues - Top-level vs. domain-specific ontologies - Role of reference ontologies - Ontology similarity, integration, alignment, matching and entity reconciliation - Ontology modularity, patterns, and contextuality - Ontology evaluation, quality, reuse, adaptation, and evolution - Ontology compliance with FAIR principles - Formal comparison among ontologies - Relationship between conceptual modeling and ontologies - Relationship with cognition, language, semantics, and context - Connections between knowledge graphs and ontologies - Methodological issues in the applications of ontologies - Social issues, such as trust or bias, with respect to ontologies - Applications - Technical applications of ontologies, such as - Semantic Web - Other areas of AI (Machine Learning, Explainable AI, Rules) - Qualitative modeling - Systems applications of ontologies, such as - Ontology-driven information systems design - Ontology-based data access - Knowledge management - Information retrieval - Computational linguistics - Metadata management - Domain applications of ontologies, such as - Ontologies for business modeling - Ontologies for particular scientific disciplines (biology, chemistry, geography, physics, geoscience, cognitive sciences, linguistics, etc.) - Ontologies for engineering: shape, form and function, artifacts, manufacturing, design, architecture, etc. - Ontologies for the humanities: arts, cultural studies, history, literature, philosophy, etc. - Ontologies for the social sciences: economics, law, political science, anthropology, archeology, etc. - Ontologies for Open Science and dataset sharing - Domain-specific ontologies - Ontology of physical reality (matter, space, time, motion, etc.) - Ontology of biological reality (organisms, genes, proteins, cells, etc.) - Ontology of mental reality and agency (beliefs, intentions, emotions, perceptions, cognition, etc.) - Ontology of artifacts, functions, capacities and roles - Ontology of social reality (institutions, organizations, norms, social relationships, artistic expressions, etc.) Conference Organization ======================= General Chair: Antony Galton, University of Exeter, UK PC Chairs: Nathalie Aussenac-Gilles, IRIT-CNRS Toulouse, France Torsten Hahmann, University of Maine, USA Local Organization Chair: Jean-François Ethier, University of Sherbrooke, Canada Online Chair: Cassia Trojahn, IRIT Université Toulouse 2, France Workshop and Tutorial Chairs: Megan Katsumi, University of Toronto, Canada Emilio Sanfilippo, ISTC-CNR, Trento, Italy Early Career Chairs: Antoine Zimmermann, École des Mines de Saint-Étienne (EMSE), France Guendalina Righetti, Free University Bozen/Bolzano, Italy Demo & Showcase Chairs: Sergio de Cesare, University of Westminster, UK Tiago Prince Sales, University of Twente, Netherlands Publicity Chairs: Lucia Gomez Alvarez, TU Dresden, Germany Selja Seppälä, University College Cork, Ireland Proceedings Chair: Maria Hedblom, Jönköping University, Sweden Program committee: https://fois2023.griis.ca/conference-organization/

by Pasquale Lisena 22 Dec '22

22 Dec '22

*************** Semantic Methods for Events and Stories (SEMMES 2023) – Call for Papers *************** Website: https://anr-kflow.github.io/semmes/ Workshop co-located with the Extended Semantic Web Conference (ESWC) Submission deadline: March 9th, 2023 Scope *************** An important part of human history and knowledge is made of events, which can be aggregated and connected to create stories, be they real or fictional. These events as well as the stories created from them can typically be inherently complex, reflect societal or political stances and be perceived differently across the world population. The Semantic Web offers technologies and methods to represent these events and stories, as well as to interpret the knowledge encoded into graphs and use it for different applications, spanning from narrative understanding and generation to fact-checking. The aim of our workshop on Semantic Methods for Events and Stories (SEMMES) is to offer an opportunity to discuss the challenges related to dealing with events and stories, and how we can use semantic methods to tackle them. We welcome approaches which combine data, methods and technologies coming from the Semantic Web with methods from other fields, including machine learning, narratology or information extraction. This workshop wants to bring together researchers working on complementary topics, in order to foster collaboration and sharing of expertise in the context of events and stories. Topics *************** Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Ontologies and data models for representing events, event relations, and narratives; - Event extraction, co-reference and linking; - Event Relation extraction and linking (e.g. temporal, causal, modal relationships); - Fake events detection and event verification; - Event-centric question answering; - Event information visualisation; - Event-centric knowledge graphs and vocabularies; - Completion of event-centric knowledge graphs and reasoning; - Event summarisation; - Automatic narrative understanding and generation; - Storytelling Applications/Demos. Submission Guidelines *************** We welcome the following types of contributions. - Long papers (10-15 pages including references) - Short papers (5-9 pages including references) We welcome any types of research, resource and application papers, as well as (short only) demonstration submissions. Submissions must be written in English and formatted using the template for submissions to CEUR Workshop Proceedings (https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/template-for-submissions-to-ceur-w…) All papers and abstracts have to be submitted electronically via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=semmes2023. Each accepted paper needs to be presented by one of the authors, who agrees to register and participate in SEMMES. Important Dates *************** - Submission deadline: March 9th, 2023 - Notifications: April 13th, 2023 - Camera-ready version: April 20th, 2023 - Workshop day: May 28th or 29th, 2023 (half-day, TBA) All deadlines are 23:59 anywhere on earth (UTC-12).

3rd CfP: 10th International Contrastive Linguistics Conference (ICLC-10)
by Marc Kupietz 22 Dec '22

22 Dec '22

3rd call for papers: ICLC-10 The Leibniz Institute for the German Language in Mannheim is pleased to announce the 10th International Contrastive Linguistics Conference (ICLC-10). The conference will take place in Mannheim, Germany, from 18 to 21 July 2023. The aim of the ICLC conference series, running since 1998, is to encourage fine-grained cross-linguistic research comprising two or more languages from a broad range of theoretical and methodological perspectives. ICLC brings together researchers from different linguistic subfields (and neighboring disciplines) to continue the (interdisciplinary) dialog on comparing languages, to foster the development of an international community, to discuss the state of the art, and to advance possible new areas of cross-linguistic research. Contrastive Linguistics as a linguistic subfield has had a checkered history, but comparative and contrastive work has always been and continues to be an important part of linguistic research. New impulses for comparative and contrastive work include the increasing availability of multilingual corpora or comparative work drawing on naturalistic interaction data. At this anniversary edition of ICLC, we want to provide a stage for the presentation of such new work, and reflect the past, current and future developments of contrastive research in linguistics. We invite contributions addressing (meta)theoretical, methodological or empirical issues, such as (but not limited to) the following: * Comparison of phenomena in two or more languages addressing topics from any area and level of linguistic analysis, including lexicon, phonetics and phonology, morphology, syntax and morphosyntax, semantics, pragmatics as well as matters such as register and socio-cultural context * The state of the art and recent advances in contrastive linguistic research * The aims, objectives and scope of contrastive linguistic research * The status of contrastive research within linguistic studies and its relationship with neighbouring or complementary approaches such as historical, typological, micro-variationist, intercultural and contact linguistics * The link between contrastive studies and fields of applied linguistics such as foreign language teaching and learning, translation studies and corpus linguistics * Potentials and limits of theoretical frameworks in relation to contrastive analysis (e.g., functional, cognitive, interactional, generative, constructional approaches) * Theoretical and theoretical-methodological issues (comparability, incommensurability, the socio-cultural context, tertia comparationis, language universals) * Empirical and data-related methodological issues (parallel / translation corpora, comparable corpora, learner corpora, multimodal corpora, naturalistic data of face-to-face interaction, psycho- and neurolinguistic experiments, surveys) * The significance of the contrastive perspective for language-specific description on the one hand and for cross-linguistic generalizations and the development of linguistic theory on the other hand Some of these issues will be addressed by five invited keynote speakers. Keynote speakers are: * Artemis Alexiadou (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and Leibniz-Centre for General Linguistics, Germany) * Jenny Audring (Leiden University, The Netherlands) * Elwys De Stefani (University of Heidelberg, Germany, and KU Leuven, Belgium) * Martin Haspelmath (Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History, Germany) * Hilde Hasselgård (University of Oslo, Norway) The conference will include a poster session. The conference language will be English. Following the conference, all participants will be offered the possibility to submit their contribution for publication in a volume of selected conference papers. Submission of AbstractsWe invite submissions for 20-minute oral presentations (plus 10 minutes for discussion) or poster presentations. Abstracts should formulate a clear research question and include a description of the methods, results and conclusions. All submissions will be reviewed anonymously by at least two reviewers. One person may submit only one (oral or poster) paper as the first author. The number of co-authored submissions is not limited. However, presenting more than one paper (oral or poster) at the conference by a single person should be avoided. All submissions must be in English, fully anonymous, and no longer than one page (12 point Times New Roman), with up to one additional page for data, figures and references. Abstracts must be submitted via the EasyChair system through the following submission web page https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iclc10 Important Dates * 16.01.2023: Deadline for abstract submission * 31.03.2023: Notification of acceptance * 14.04.2023: Confirmation of participation * 18.07.2023: Arrival, Registration, Get-together * 19.-21.07.2023: Conference Conference Web Site https://iclc10.ids-mannheim.de Organizing CommitteeBeata Trawinski (Chair) Marc Kupietz Kristel Proost Jörg Zinken

Papers previously published in conference proceedings will not be considered. JBI’s editorial policy will be strictly followed by special issue reviewers. Note in particular that JBI emphasizes the publication of papers that introduce innovative and generalizable methods of interest to the informatics community. Specific applications can be described to motivate the methodology being introduced, but papers that focus solely on a specific application are not suitable for JBI. *Submission Guidelines* Authors must submit their papers via the online Editorial Manager (EES) at <http://ees.elsevier.com/jbi>https://www.editorialmanager.com/jbi <https://ees.elsevier.com/jbi>. Authors should select “Semantics-enabled Biomedical Literature Analytics” as their submission category and note in a cover letter that their submission is for the “*Special Issue on Semantics-enabled Biomedical Literature Analytics.*” If the manuscript is not intended as an original research paper, the cover letter should also specify if it is, rather, a *Methodological Review, Commentary, or Special Communication*. Authors should make sure to place their work in the context of human-focused biomedical research or health care, and to review carefully the relevant literature. JBI’s editorial policy, and the types of articles that the journal publishes, are outlined under *Aims and Scope *on the journal home page at https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/journal-of-biomedical-informatics <https://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-biomedical-informatics>(click on “View full Aims and Scope” for details). All submissions should follow the guidelines for authors at <https://www.elsevier.com/journals/journal-ofbiomedical-%20informatics/1532-…>*https://www.elsevier.com/journals/journal-ofbiomedical- informatics/1532-0464/guide-for-authors <https://www.elsevier.com/journals/journal-ofbiomedical-%20informatics/1532-…>*, including format and manuscript structure. *Important Dates* Deadline for submissions: January 15, 2023 First-round review decisions: March 15, 2023 Deadline for revision submissions: April 15, 2023 Notification of final decisions: June 15, 2023 The full Call for Papers is available at https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbi.2022.104134.
