Release of the AIDA entity disambiguation system

by Johannes Hoffart

We gladly announce the source code release of our named entity disambiguation system AIDA: Accurate Online Disambiguation of Named Entities. Given a natural-language text, AIDA maps mentions of ambiguous names onto canonical entities (people, places, etc.) registered in a knowledge base such as Yago (http://yago-knowledge.org), which is linked to Wikipedia. For example, in the sentence "When Page played Kashmir at Knebwoth, his Les Paul was uniquely tuned", AIDA would identify "Page" with Jimmy_Page, "Kashmir" with Kashmir_Song, "Knebworth" with the festival, and "Les Paul" with the Gibson_Les_Paul guitar. The source code of AIDA is available at github under the CC-BY-NC-SA license: https://github.com/yago-naga/aida/ and at the AIDA project page: http://www.mpi-inf.mpg.de/yago-naga/aida/ The AIDA team at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics

Second Call For Papers: Conf. Intelligent Computer Mathematics (CICM 2013), July 8-12, 2013, Bath, UK

by serge.autexier＠dfki.de

CICM 2013 - Conferences on Intelligent Computer Mathematics July 8-12, 2013 at University of Bath, Bath, UK http://www.cicm-conference.org/2013/cicm.php 2nd Call for Papers ---------------------------------------------------------------------- * Invited Talks by Patrick Ion (Mathematical Reviews, American Mathematical Society, USA) Assia Mahboubi (École Polytechnique and INRIA/Microsoft Research Joint Centre, France) Ursula Martin (Queen Mary, University of London, UK) * Co-Located Workshops: - MathUI'13: Mathematical User Interfaces - OpenMath Workshop 2013 - PLMMS'13: Programming Languages for Mechanized Mathematics Systems - THedu'13: TP Components for Educational Software ---------------------------------------------------------------------- As computers and communications technology advance, greater opportunities arise for intelligent mathematical computation. While computer algebra, automated deduction, mathematical publishing and novel user interfaces individually have long and successful histories, we are now seeing increasing opportunities for synergy among these areas. The Conferences on Intelligent Computer Mathematics offers a venue for discussing these areas and their synergy. The conference will take place at the University of Bath (www.bath.ac.uk), with James Davenport as the local organiser. It consists of four tracks: Calculemus Chair: Wolfgang Windsteiger Digital Mathematical Libraries (DML) Chair: Petr Sojka Mathematical Knowledge Management (MKM) Chair: David Aspinall Systems and Projects Chair: Christoph Lange As in previous years, there will be a Doctoral Programme for presentations by Doctoral students. The overall programme will be organised by the General Program Chair Jacques Carette. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Important dates ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Abstract submission: 1 March 2013 Submission deadline: 8 March 2013 Reviews sent to authors: 5 April 2013 Rebuttals due: 8 April 2013 Notification of acceptance: 14 April 2013 Camera ready copies due: 26 April 2013 Conference: 8-12 July 2013 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Tracks ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ========== Calculemus ========== Calculemus 2013 invites the submission of original research contributions to be considered for publication and presentation at the conference. Calculemus is a series of conferences dedicated to the integration of computer algebra systems (CAS) and systems for mechanised reasoning like interactive proof assistants (PA) or automated theorem provers (ATP). Currently, symbolic computation is divided into several (more or less) independent branches: traditional ones (e.g., computer algebra and mechanised reasoning) as well as newly emerging ones (on user interfaces, knowledge management, theory exploration, etc.) The main concern of the Calculemus community is to bring these developments together in order to facilitate the theory, design, and implementation of integrated mathematical assistant systems that will be used routinely by mathematicians, computer scientists and all others who need computer-supported mathematics in their every day business. All topics in the intersection of computer algebra systems and automated reasoning systems are of interest for Calculemus. These include but are not limited to: * Automated theorem proving in computer algebra systems. * Computer algebra in theorem proving systems. * Adding reasoning capabilities to computer algebra systems. * Adding computational capabilities to theorem proving systems. * Theory, design and implementation of interdisciplinary systems for computer mathematics. * Case studies and applications that involve a mix of computation and reasoning. * Case studies in formalization of mathematical theories. * Representation of mathematics in computer algebra systems. * Theory exploration techniques. * Combining methods of symbolic computation and formal deduction. * Input languages, programming languages, types and constraint languages, and modeling languages for mathematical assistant systems. * Homotopy type theory. * Infrastructure for mathematical services. === DML === Mathematicians dream of a digital archive containing all peer-reviewed mathematical literature ever published, properly linked, validated and verified. It is estimated that the entire corpus of mathematical knowledge published over the centuries does not exceed 100,000,000 pages, an amount easily manageable by current information technologies. Track objective is to provide a forum for development of math-aware technologies, standards, algorithms and formats towards fulfillment of the dream of global digital mathematical library (DML). Computer scientists (D) and librarians of digital age (L) are especially welcome to join mathematicians (M) and discuss many aspects of DML preparation. Track topics are all topics of mathematical knowledge management and digital libraries applicable in the context of DML building -- processing of math knowledge expressed in scientific papers in natural languages, namely: * Math-aware text mining (math mining) and MSC classification * Math-aware representations of mathematical knowledge * Math-aware computational linguistics and corpora * Math-aware tools for [meta]data and fulltext processing * Math-aware OCR and document analysis * Math-aware information retrieval * Math-aware indexing and search * Authoring languages and tools * MathML, OpenMath, TeX and other mathematical content standards * Web interfaces for DML content * Mathematics on the web, math crawling and indexing * Math-aware document processing workflows * Archives of written mathematics * DML management, business models * DML rights handling, funding, sustainability * DML content acquisition, validation and curation === MKM === Mathematical Knowledge Management is an interdisciplinary field of research in the intersection of mathematics, computer science, library science, and scientific publishing. The objective of MKM is to develop new and better ways of managing sophisticated mathematical knowledge, based on innovative technology of computer science, the Internet, and intelligent knowledge processing. MKM is expected to serve mathematicians, scientists, and engineers who produce and use mathematical knowledge; educators and students who teach and learn mathematics; publishers who offer mathematical textbooks and disseminate new mathematical results; and librarians and mathematicians who catalog and organize mathematical knowledge. The conference is concerned with all aspects of mathematical knowledge management. A non-exclusive list of important topics includes: * Representations of mathematical knowledge * Authoring languages and tools * Repositories of formalized mathematics * Deduction systems * Mathematical digital libraries * Diagrammatic representations * Mathematical OCR * Mathematical search and retrieval * Math assistants, tutoring and assessment systems * MathML, OpenMath, and other mathematical content standards * Web presentation of mathematics * Data mining, discovery, theory exploration * Computer algebra systems * Collaboration tools for mathematics * Challenges and solutions for mathematical workflows ==================== Systems and Projects ==================== The Systems and Projects track of the Conferences on Intelligent Computer Mathematics is a forum for presenting available systems and new and ongoing projects in all areas and topics related to the CICM conferences: * Deduction and Computer Algebra (Calculemus) * Digital Mathematical Libraries (DML) * Mathematical Knowledge Management (MKM) * Artificial Intelligence and Symbolic Computation (AISC) The track aims to provide an overview of the latest developments and trends within the CICM community as well as to exchange ideas between developers and introduce systems to an audience of potential users. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Submission Instructions ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Submissions to the research tracks must not exceed 15 pages and will be reviewed and evaluated with respect to relevance, clarity, quality, originality, and impact. Shorter papers, e.g., for system descriptions, are welcome. Authors will have an opportunity to respond to their papers' reviews before the programme committee makes a decision. System descriptions and projects descriptions should be 2-4 pages and should present * newly developed systems, * systems that have not previously been presented to the CICM community, or * significant updates to existing systems. Systems must be available for download. Project presentations should describe * projects that are new or about to start, * ongoing projects that have not yet been presented to the CICM community. * significant new developments in ongoing previously presented projects. Presentations of new projects should mention relevant previous work and include a roadmap that outlines concrete steps. All submissions should contain links to demos, downloadable systems, or project websites. Accepted conference submissions from all tracks is intended to be published as a volume in the series Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI) by Springer. In addition to these formal proceedings, authors are permitted and encouraged to publish the final versions of their papers on arXiv.org. Work-in-progress submissions are intended to provide a forum for the presentation of original work that is not (yet) in a suitable form for submission as a full or system description paper. This includes work in progress and emerging trends. Their size is not limited, but we recommend 5-10 pages. The programme committee may offer authors of rejected formal submissions to publish their contributions as work-in-progress papers instead. Depending on the number of work-in-progress papers accepted, they will be presented at the conference either as short talks or as posters. The work-in-progress proceedings will be published as a technical report, as well as online with CEUR-WS.org. All papers should be prepared in LaTeX and formatted according to the requirements of Springer's LNCS series (the corresponding style files can be downloaded from http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). By submitting a paper the authors agree that if it is accepted at least one of the authors will attend the conference to present it.
