It is my pleasure to invite you all to the Workshop on 10 Years of BabelNet and Multilingual Neurosymbolic NLU http://mousse-project.org/events/event-a5f3r5.html which will take place in *Rome*, at *Sapienza*, Department of Computer, Control and Management Engineering (DIAG), on *4-5 July*. The workshop includes a *slate of invited speakers *who will participate in person, including in Dagstuhl-like brainstorming sessions, and is *open online to all interested attendees* (sign up here https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc5yVnaxXsT5t63_peEvZOTw3CyY-oIPEzY1l6cIddTlsWpxQ/viewform).
We will celebrate the most far-reaching and novel multilingual dictionary and knowledge base, BabelNet https://babelnet.org, a popular resource currently used by* more than 1000 universities and research institutions*, and discuss the future of neurosymbolic approaches to multilingual Natural Language Understanding.
BabelNet is an output of the Sapienza NLP https://nlp.uniroma1.it Group and two ERC projects acknowledged among the 15 projects through which the ERC "transformed science" https://erc.europa.eu/how-ERC-transformed-science/stories.html, but it also led to the creation of a spinoff company, Babelscape https://babelscape.com, that is one of the most successful in the Sapienza startup portfolio. Notably, besides the ERC and Babelscape, this event is also co-sponsored by Accademia della Crusca https://accademiadellacrusca.it/ (the oldest linguistic academy in the world), the Artificial Intelligence Journal https://www.journals.elsevier.com/artificial-intelligence and the European Language Grid https://www.european-language-grid.eu/.
A *new updated version of BabelNet will be available* in conjunction with the event together with the *brand-new Python API* (available on PyPi https://pypi.org/project/babelnet/)! A smartphone app is also available on Android and iPhone.
Enjoy!
Science of Science Summer School (S4) 2022 August 1 - 12, 2022, Virtually hosted by the School of Information Studies at Syracuse University, NY, USA https://s4.scienceofscience.org
Cost: Free, but apply Apply by: July 2, 2022
S4 will introduce you to foundational and emerging questions, theories, and methods for science of science. We will review the big questions regarding knowledge production and the role of individuals, teams, countries, institutions, and funding agencies in making this possible. We will review machine learning, artificial intelligence, network science, and other topics to answer these questions. The school will be heavily based on Python, scikit-learn, TensorFlow/Keras, networkx, and the JupyterLab environment. We will provide a curated web-based environment with all software packages and relevant datasets pre-installed, so you will not need anything installed on your computer.
The first week of summer school, August 1 - August 5, 2022:
* Interest-based suggested matching for group projects * Synchronous lectures and presentations by leaders in the field * Opportunities for group discussion about lectures * Opportunities for socializing The second week of summer school, August 8 - August 12, 2021:
* Synchronous (Zoom) lectures from mentors and speakers * One-on-one or small group meetings with mentors * Project presentations and results by the end of week August 12, 2021 * (Optional) mini-grant proposal submission by August 12, 2021 Speakers/mentors:
* Aaron Clauset, Associate Professor, Colorado University, Boulder * Ludo Waltman, Professor, Leiden University * Roberta Sinatra, Associate Professor, ITU Copenhagen * Julia Lane, Professor, New York University * Daniel Romero, Associate Professor, University of Michigan * Patricia Feeney, Head of Metadata, Crossref * Bei Yu, Professor, Syracuse University * Arunas Radzvilavicius, Editor, Nature Human Behaviour * Nihar B. Shah, Assistant Professor, CMU * Tom Hope, Assistant Professor, HUJI, and Research Scientist, Allen AI (AI2) Organizers:
* Daniel Acuna, iSchool, Syracuse University * Stephen V. David, Oregon Health & Science University
These are a sample of the topics to be covered at S4:
* Computational discovery of new knowledge * Predictability and analysis of success * Problems and opportunities in scientific peer review * Issues in replication and reproducibility * Economics of science and science policy * Analysis of open access scientific literature and other scientific artifacts * Evolution of scientific ideas * Age, gender, and mentorship effects on science * Scientific misconduct and computational research integrity * Bring your topic to the school if we have missed something! * These are some of the techniques you will learn about: * Machine Learning / Artificial Intelligence * Network Science / Complex systems * Informetrics / Scientometrics / Bibliometrics * Visualization * Econometrics / Causal inference * Library Science
Partially sponsored by NSF's "Collaborative Research: Social Dynamics of Knowledge Transfer Through Scientific Mentorship and Publication" award #1933803 Science of Science Summer School (S4) Application https://s4.scienceofscience.org
