Aim

 

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.
