DMNLP’14

ECML/PKDD 2014 Workshop

September 15th 2014, Nancy, France

Proceedings || Schedule

Scope

On the one hand, in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP), numerical Machine Learning methods (e.g., SVM, CRF) have been intensively explored and applied. Despite the good results obtained by the numerical methods, one major drawback is that they do not provide a human readable model. A promising direction is the integration of symbolic knowledge. On the other hand, research in Data Mining has progressed significantly in the last decades, through the development of advanced algorithms and techniques to extract knowledge from data in different forms. In particular, for two decades Pattern Mining has been one of the most active field in Knowledge Discovery.

Call for Papers

The workshop promotes works where the two following dimensions are combined in one as symbiosis.

The first dimension is Data Mining, for instance Pattern Mining (itemsets, sequences, trees, graphs, association rules), classification (decision trees, FCA,…), inductive logic programming.

The second dimension is NLP, for example question/answering systems, translation, information extraction, linguistic analysis (lexical analysis, terminology, syntax, semantics, discourse, stylistics), classification, knowledge extraction/ontology building from texts, information retrieval, corpus annotation, social/opinion mining.

A list of non-exhaustive topics that fit the scope of the workshop is thus: 

  • Pattern discovery for NLP
  • Constraint-based Pattern Mining in text
  • Data Mining query languages for expressing NLP tasks
  • Data representation (sequences, trees, graphs) for NLP
  • Modelization of text for Data Mining
  • Relationships between Data Mining and NLP
  • Modeling and visualizing Data Mining results on text
  • Integrating NLP characteristics in Data Mining 
  • Data mining approaches for linguistic knowledge building
  • Knowledge Discovery for linguistic analysis (e.g. stylistics, socio-linguistics,\ldots)
  • Linguistically-informed text representations for Data Mining

 Important Dates

  • Deadline for submissions:  Friday, June 20, 2014 extended to Friday, June 27, 2014
  • Author notification: Friday, July 11, 2014
  • Final version: Friday July 25, 2014
  • Workshop date: September 15, 2014

 

Submission Format

The duration of the workshop will be 1 day. Our main goal is to stimulate discussion, collaboration and the sharing of experiences. In that respect, we would have three submission types:

 
  • unpublished works (max 16 pages, double submissions allowed) 
  • short papers and vision statements (max 8 pages) 
  • recently published works (special oral-only track, no page limits)

Authors instructions and style files follow main conference recommendations and can be downloaded at: http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.

The submission has to be done via the DMNLP 2014 EasyChair account.
