Knowledge and Natural Language Processing Track 

 

Aim & Scope 

 

Aim of the Knowledge and Natural Language Processing (KNLP) track at ACM SAC is to investigate techniques and application of knowledge engineering and natural language processing, two extremely interdisciplinary and lively research areas at the core of Artificial Intelligence. In particular, the track welcomes contributions combining and complementing methods and approaches from both areas. 

 

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: 

  • Natural Language Processing 
    • NLP tasks for Knowledge Extraction 
    • NLP for Ontology Population and Learning 
    • Sentiment Analysis and Opinion Mining for Knowledge Applications 
    • Interplay between Language and Ontologies 
    • NLP for Explainable Knowledge 
    • Machine Translation techniques for Multi-lingual Knowledge 
    • NLP for the Web 
    • (Large) Language Models and Knowledge 
  • Knowledge 
    • Knowledge to improve NLP tasks 
    • Knowledge for Information Retrieval 
    • Knowledge-based Sentiment Analysis and Opinion Mining 
    • Combining Knowledge and Deep Learning for NLP 
    • Knowledge for Text Summarization and Generation 
    • Knowledge for Persuasion 
    • Knowledge-based Machine Translation 
    • Knowledge for the Web 
    • Linked Data for NLP 
    • Knowledge-based NL Explainability 
    • RAG and Knowledge injection for Language Models 
  • Applications 
    • Real-world applications that exploit Knowledge and NLP 
    • Knowledge and NLP Systems for Big Data scenarios 
    • Knowledge and NLP technology for diverse, equitable, and inclusive society 
    • Deployment of Knowledge and NLP Systems in specific domains, such as: 
      • Digital Humanities and Social Sciences 
      • eGovernment and public administration 
      • Life sciences, health and medicine 
      • News and Data Streaming 

 

Paper Submission 

 

Research papers and experience reports related to the above topics are solicited. Submissions must not have been published or be concurrently considered for publication elsewhere. Papers should be submitted in PDF using the ACM-SAC proceedings format using the submission link on the SAC 2025 website (https://www.sigapp.org/sac/sac2025/). Authors' names and affiliations should be entered separately at the submission site and not appear in the submitted papers. Each submission will be reviewed in a DOUBLE-BLIND process according to the ACM-SAC Regulations. Student Research Competition (SRC) submissions are welcome (see SAC 2025 website for details). 

 

Full papers are limited to 8 pages, in camera-ready format, included in the registration fee. Authors have the option to include up to two (2) extra pages (paying an extra charge).  

Posters are limited to 2 pages, in camera-ready format, included in the registration fee. Authors have the option to include only one (1) extra page (paying an extra charge). 

SRC Abstracts are limited to 3 pages, in camera-ready format, included in the registration fee. No extra pages are allowed. 

 

Paper selection is based on originality, technical contribution, presentation quality, and relevance to the Knowledge and Natural Language Processing Track. Some papers may be accepted as posters. 

 

Paper registration is required, allowing the inclusion of the paper/poster in the conference proceedings. An author or a proxy attending SAC MUST present the paper. This is a requirement for the paper/poster to be included in the ACM digital library. No-show of registered papers and posters will result in excluding them from the ACM digital library. 

 

Important Dates 

  • Author deadline for submissions: September 20, 2024 
  • Author notification of acceptance: October 30, 2024 
  • Author camera ready and registration due: November 29, 2024
