CALL FOR PAPERS: SETN 2026 WORKSHOP KGCSW-SETN 2026: Knowledge Graph Construction Workshop
OVERVIEW -------- The workshop on Knowledge Graph Construction is an essential step towards harnessing the transformative power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in understanding complex data landscapes. Knowledge graphs stand out as pivotal tools for structuring data, making it interpretable and actionable by AI systems. They enable the representation of data in a form that mirrors human understanding, facilitating more natural interaction between humans and machines.
The construction of knowledge graphs embodies the synthesis of various AI disciplines, including natural language processing, machine learning, and semantic web technologies. By organizing this workshop, we aim to foster a collaborative environment where experts and enthusiasts across these fields can converge to share insights, challenges, and breakthroughs.
This workshop is held for the second time, following its previous edition at SETN 2024.
