Aim of the Workshop

目的

In the era of big data, massive amounts of information and data have dramatically changed human civilization. The broad availability of information provides more opportunities for people, but there has appeared a new challenge: how can we obtain useful knowledge from numerous information sources. A knowledge entity is a relatively independent and integral knowledge module in a special discipline or a research domain [1]. As a crucial medium for knowledge transmission, scientific documents that contain a large number of knowledge entities attract the attention of scholars [2]. In scientific documents, knowledge entities refer to the knowledge mentioned or cited by authors, such as algorithms, models, theories, datasets and software, which reflect the various resources used by the authors in solving problems. Extracting knowledge entities from scientific documents in an accurate and comprehensive way becomes a significant topic. We may recommend documents related to a given knowledge entity (e.g. LSTM model) for scholars, especially for beginners in a research field. DARPA has recently launched the ASKE (Automating Scientific Knowledge Extraction) project [3], which aims to develop next-generation applications of artificial intelligence. 

在大数据时代，海量的信息和数据极大地改变了人类文明。信息的广泛可得性为人们提供了更多的机会，但也出现了一个新的挑战:我们如何从众多的信息源获取有用的知识。知识实体是某一特定学科或研究领域中相对独立、完整的知识模块。作为知识传播的重要媒介，包含大量知识实体的科学文献受到学者的关注。在科学文献中，知识实体是指作者提及或引用的知识，如算法、模型、理论、数据集、软件等，反映了作者在解决问题时所使用的各种资源。准确、全面地提取科学文献中的知识实体成为一个重要的课题。我们可以向学者推荐与给定知识实体(如LSTM模型)相关的文档，特别是对某个研究领域的初学者。DARPA最近启动了ASKE(自动科学知识提取)项目[3]，旨在开发下一代人工智能应用。

Therefore, the goal of this workshop is to engage the related communities in open problems in the extraction and evaluation of knowledge entities from scientific documents. At present, scholars have used knowledge entities to construct general knowledge-graphs [4] and domain knowledge-graphs [5]. Data sources for these studies include text (news, policy files, email, etc.) and multimedia (video, image, etc.) data. Compared to existing research and workshops like Joint workshop on Bibliometric-enhanced Information Retrieval and Natural Language Processing for Digital Libraries (BIRNDL) [6] or Workshop on Mining Scientific Publications (WOSP) [7], this workshop aims to extract knowledge entities from scientific documents, and explore the feature of entities to conduct practical applications. The results of this workshop are expected to provide scholars, especially early career researchers, with knowledge recommendations and other knowledge entity-based services.

因此，本次研讨会的目标是让相关团体参与到从科学文献中提取和评估知识实体的公开问题中来。目前，学者们已经使用知识实体来构建一般知识图谱[4]和领域知识图谱[5]。这些研究的数据来源包括文本(新闻、政策文件、电子邮件等)和多媒体(视频、图像等)数据。与现有的研究与研讨会相比，比如 Bibliometric-enhanced Information Retrieval 和Natural Language Processing for Digital Libraries (BIRNDL) [6] 以及 Workshop on Mining Scientific Publications (WOSP) [7]，这个研讨会旨在从科学文档中提取知识实体,实体的特点,探索实际应用。本次研讨会的成果将为学者，特别是早期职业研究者提供知识推荐和其他基于知识实体的服务。

Submission Information

Regular papers: 

All submissions must be written in English, following the ACM Proceedings template (10 pages for full papersand 4 pages for short papers exclusive of unlimited pages for references) and should be submitted as PDF files to EasyChair.

所有提交的论文必须按照ACM会议记录模板(10页为全文，4页为短文，不包括不限页数的参考资料)用英文书写，并以PDF格式提交至EasyChair。
