Meeting Description:
There has been a considerable amount of research how the use of lexical-semantic
ontologies like WordNet improves the performance of a variety of Natural
Language Processing tasks, such as InformationRetrieval, Word Sense
Disambiguation, Document Clustering, Document Summarization and others.
Submissions are invited on all aspects of the interaction between Ontology
Acquisition and Machine Learning. Topics may include, but are not necessarily
limited to
* Ontology induction from large corpora
* Candidate generation and classification for ontology extension
* Derivation of ontology relations
* Ontology learning using various modalities (databases, semi-structured data,
text, multimedia)
* Knowledge discovery for ontology learning (extension/evolution) and/or
ontology mapping (merging/integration)
* Ontology domain adaptation
The workshop is co-located with the International Conference on Machine Learning
(ICML 2005) in Bonn, 7th-11th of August 2005.

THEMED SESSIONS
As well as individual abstracts, groups of speakers may submit a set of
abstracts for a themed session (or panel) on any subject of their choice. Such
groups will normally take up a whole session, and group members may apportion
their time within that as they wish (ideal numbers of abstracts for such
sessions might be 3, 4, 5 or 6). All the abstracts for such sessions will be
considered together, as a group, and one contact for the whole session should be
provided. Abstracts for such themed sessions should be submitted together, to
the President, with the same format as specified for individual abstracts.
Please contact the president directly if you have any questions about this.
CONFERENCE BURSARIES FOR POSTGRADUATE STUDENTS AND UNWAGED MEMBERS
Up to fifteen bursaries are available for unsalaried members of the Association
(e.g. PhD students); preference will be given to those who are presenting a
paper, but if there are not fifteen applications from those presenting papers,
applications from non-presenting attenders will also be considered. Applications
should be sent to the President (address below), and must be received by the
deadline for abstracts (4th April). If you are submitting an abstract and
applying for a bursary, BOTH SHOULD BE SUBMITTED TOGETHER; if you are submitting
your abstract electronically, you should include the application as another
attachment to the main message. If you are not submitting an abstract, but are
still eligible, then you are still encouraged to apply (either hard copy or by
post), as we have sometimes been able to award bursaries to non-presenting
postgraduates in previous years.
Applicants for bursaries must be members of the Association, although
applications for membership may be submitted at the same time as applications
for bursaries (applications for membership should be sent to the Membership
Secretary). There is no application form for the bursaries - please simply set
out in writing: (a) your date of joining the LAGB (b) whether or not you are a
student; (c) if a student, the details of your course of study and whether or
not you receive a grant or studentship; (d) if not a student, your employment
situation. The bursary normally covers the registration fee and travel within
the UK, but not accommodation costs. Those presenting a paper will receive an
additional amount of GBP40 as a contribution to other costs.
Further details will soon be available here:
