CALL FOR PAPERS
----------------------------
The workshop aims at bringing together researchers with diverse interdisciplinary
backgrounds interested in mining large digital libraries and other relevant databases.
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
-- New approaches to measuring the impact of research publications as well as the impact of
researchers in a particular field of study:
-- -- Identifying influential authors, experts, and collaborators within or across
disciplines
-- -- Modeling the referencing behavior across disciplines
-- -- Automatic citation recommendation
-- Mining large digital libraries of scientific publications and linking to other databases such
as funded proposals and patents:
-- -- Identifying research trends and topics
-- -- Extracting relevant information from research articles
-- -- Scaling up machine learning algorithms to large datasets
-- -- Classification and clustering of scientific publications, funded proposal, patents,
etc.
-- -- Linking together various entities, e.g., articles with articles by similarity,
articles with the corresponding funded proposals.
-- Presenting open-access, novel datasets (e.g., based on Wikipedia, DBpedia, United States
Census Bureau data) that can be linked to entities in digital libraries, and can help
researcher develop novel technologies for analyzing scientific publications.
