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/

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:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
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.

==========
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.
Electronic submission is done through easychair

> Version 1.1 comes with the following features:
>
> * a fully renovated, appealing Web interface at http://babelnet.org
> * 5.5 million Babel synsets!
> * increased coverage of nominal and named entities
> * improved Wikipedia-WordNet mapping and sense translations
> * coverage of 6 European languages (coming soon: 40+ languages!)
> * millions of pictures and Wikipedia categories associated with babel synsets
> * linked to DBpedia
>
>
> === COMING SOON ===
>
> * BabelNet as Linked Open Data
> * coverage of 40+ languages (expected this spring)
>
>
