Knowledge Bases and Multiple Modalities

Virtual Workshop at the 2nd Conference on Automated Knowledge Base Construction (AKBC 2020)
June 25, 2020

About

Recently, there has been growing interest in combining knowledge bases and multiple modalities such as NLP, vision and speech. These combinations have resulted in improvements to various downstream tasks including question answering, image classification, object detection, and link prediction. The objectives of the KBMM workshop is to bring together researchers interested in (a) combining knowledge bases with other modalities to showcase more effective downstream tasks, (b) improving completion and construction of knowledge bases from multiple modalities, and in general, to share state-of-the-art approaches, best practices, and future directions.

CALL FOR PAPERS

Scope

The workshop on Knowledge Bases and Multiple Modalities (KBMM) will consist of contributed posters, and invited talks on a wide variety of methods and problems in this area. We invite extended abstract submissions in the following categories to present at the workshop:

Knowledge base completion using multiple modalities

Using knowledge bases in NLP tasks

Vision and knowledge bases

Information extraction

Optimization challenges in multimodal scenarios

Benchmark datasets and evaluation methods

Call for extended abstract

We invite submission of extended abstracts related to Knowledge Bases and Multiple Modalities (KBMM). Since the workshop is not intended to have a proceeding comprising full versions of the papers, concurrent submissions to other venues, as well accepted work, are allowed provided that concurrent submissions or intention to submit to other venues is declared to all venues including KBMM. Accepted work will be presented as oral during the workshop and listed on this website.

Reviewing Policy:

Submissions shall be refereed on the basis of technical quality, potential impact, and clarity. Atleast one of the authors of each accepted submission will be required to present the work virtually.
