The 2nd Workshop on Unstructured and Structured KBs

Workshop at AKBC 2021
October 7th, 2021
Contact: uskb-workshop@googlegroups.com

Call for Abstracts

We welcome submissions of extended abstracts (1 page max) related to the relevant research areas. Submissions may include previously published results, late-breaking results, and work in progress. Accepted submissions will be featured on the workshop website with a video presentation and announced during the workshop program. The workshop is non-archival, so participants are free to submit their work for publication elsewhere.

To submit an abstract, please send an email to uskb-workshop@googlegroups.com with the subject line “USKB submission: [TITLE]”. Please include:

  • Abstract in PDF format (1-page max) as an attachment. Abstracts will be lightly reviewed to ensure that the topic is within the scope of the workshop.
  • A full list of authors.

We require each accepted work to provide a recorded video presentation up to 12 minutes in length. We will reach out with video uploading instructions after acceptance notification.

Important Dates

  • Tuesday, August 31th Friday, September 10th: Deadline for submission of extended abstracts
  • Wednesday, September 15th: Notification of acceptance
  • Friday, October 1st: Deadline for recorded videos
  • Thursday, October 7th: Workshop date

Writing guidelines

  • These abstracts can be longer than the typical abstracts for a full research paper (max 1 page).
  • Figures and tables are allowed, but will count toward the length limit.
  • References will not count toward the length limit.
  • Abstracts may include work in progress, but should include some preliminary progress rather than a sketch of the idea only.
  • Abstracts do not have to be about a single paper; we allow abstracts that summarize a collection of works under a unified theme (e.g., a series of closely-related papers that build on each other or tackle a common problem).
  • For writing examples, see the accepted abstracts from other AKBC workshops in previous years (e.g. SLKB, SciNLP)
