Machine Learning

Description


Recent years have seen a huge increase in Machine Learning research also with a focus on Knowledge and Semantic Web. While Machine Learning techniques have always played an important role in semantic technologies, now also core challenges from the Semantic Web area are being recognized by a wider Machine Learning community. For example, one focus has been on learning knowledge graph embeddings optimized for link prediction. To this end, leveraging large knowledge bases for machine learning models is only half of the coin as machine learning is also the enabler of the semantic web in a sense that it e.g. makes the information hidden in unstructured data like text usable.
The Machine Learning track of ESWC has a long track record of covering research combining both, symbolic knowledge representations with inductive learning techniques. We invite high quality submissions that contribute in both directions or combine both: either improving knowledge representations by machine learning approaches, improving the performance of machine learning methods by exploiting knowledge representations or the direct combination of probabilistic and logic approaches.
