2024 AAAI Fall Symposium on Large Language Models for Knowledge Graph and Ontology Engineering
(Preliminary) Call for Papers
Large Language Models for Knowledge Graph and Ontology Engineering
2024 AAAI Fall Symposium
Large Language Models (LLMs) and Knowledge Graphs (KGs) are highly trending. The interplay between these two technologies can go both ways, but the two directions are quite different in approach. This symposium specifically focuses on how LLMs can be used as tools to augment the extant capacity for ontology and knowledge graph engineering. Knowledge Graph Engineering (KGE) and Ontology Engineering (OE – together KG/OE) challenges in particular have to do with the (to date still) high involvement of humans and human expert in the KG/OE life cycle, including creation/modeling, alignment, evolution, reusability (from both ontological commitment and accessibility perspectives). The KG/OE communities have made steady progress in the past 20 years, but only now with LLMs, key KG/OE challenges appear to become addressable at scale.
The goal of this symposium to focus and coordinate research. We wish to create a space and foundational community for the sharing of ideas for prompt engineering, fine-tuning, neurosymbolic approaches, quality control, and human-in-the-loop methods: all with LLMs for OE/KGE.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
- LLMs for Knowledge Graph and Ontology Creation
- LLMs for Ontology and Entity Mapping
- LLMs for Knowledge Graph and Ontology Evolution
- LLMs for Knowledge Graph access and use
- LLMs as Natural Language Interfaces for Knowledge Graphs and Ontologies
Format of the Symposium: The program will consist of presentations of accepted full papers, posters, lightning talks, keynotes, and significant time for panel and plenary discussions.
Submission Types of papers:
- Full papers (for oral presentation): 8-10 pages (not counting references).
- Short papers (for poster presentation): 3-4 pages (not counting references).
-
Lightning talks (for brief spotlight presentation): 1-2 pages extended abstract (not counting references).
- Submission Instructions for all papers:
- Submissions are to be made via the official AAAI Symposium Easychair submission portal. You must choose from the appropriate symposia from the available tracks.
- Submissions should use the AAAI format.
- Submissions are single-blind.
Important Dates for submissions:
- Deadline: July 31st, 2024
Concurrent Submission and Recently Published Policy for Submission: It is appropriate to submit a short paper or lightning talk which is based on work submitted concurrently to another venue, as well as if it has been recently accepted for published in another venue if and only if the program committee is made aware of the scenario via the comment/note system in the submission portal. Such papers will not be included in the proceedings, but will still go through a peer review process as a sanity check. This policy will allow us to drive wider discussion on our topics.
