IEKB 2012 - Workshop on Information Extraction & Knowledge Base Building (IEKB)

Information Extraction (IE) techniques aim at extracting structured information from unstructured data sources. Some low-level information extraction techniques have been well studied. Now, more IE research focuses on knowledge acquisition and knowledge-base building. This workshop will focus on issues related to information extraction and building knowledge-base. IEKB 2012 will be held in conjunction with APWeb 2012 conference in Kun Ming, China. We invite original research contributions. IEKB 2012 aims at bringing together researchers in different fields related to information extraction who have common interests in interdisciplinary research. The workshop provides a forum where researchers and practitioners can share and exchange their knowledge and experience. All papers accepted by IEKB 2012 will be published in a combined volume of Lecturer Notes in Computer Science series published by Springer. All accepted papers will be indexed by EI.

The IEKB 2012 topics include but are certainly not limited to the following areas:

Event Extraction
Named Entity Recognition and Disambiguation
Building Knowledge Base by IE
Ontology Building
Information Extraction and Semantic Web
Paraphrase Extraction
