<div dir="ltr"><div>Eleventh Workshop on Mining and Learning with Graphs (MLG 2013)</div><div>August 11, 2013 - Chicago, IL (co-located with KDD 2013)</div><div><a href="http://snap.stanford.edu/mlg2013/">http://snap.stanford.edu/mlg2013/</a></div>
<div>Submission Deadline: June 6, 2013</div><div><br></div><div>This workshop is a forum for exchanging ideas and methods for mining and</div><div>learning with graphs, developing new common understandings of the problems at</div>
<div>hand, sharing of data sets where applicable, and leveraging existing knowledge</div><div>from different disciplines. The goal is to bring together researchers from</div><div>academia, industry, and government, to create a forum for discussing recent</div>
<div>advances graph analysis. In doing so we aim to better understand the overarching</div><div>principles and the limitations of our current methods, and to inspire research</div><div>on new algorithms and techniques for mining and learning with graphs.</div>
<div><br></div><div>To reflect the broad scope of work on mining and learning with graphs, we</div><div>encourage submissions that span the spectrum from theoretical analysis, to</div><div>algorithms and implementation, to applications and empirical studies. In terms</div>
<div>of application areas, the growth of user-generated content on blogs, microblogs,</div><div>discussion forums, product reviews, etc., has given rise to a host of new</div><div>opportunities for graph mining in the analysis of social media. Social media</div>
<div>analytics is a fertile ground for research at the intersection of mining graphs</div><div>and text. As such, this year we especially encourage submissions on theory,</div><div>methods, and applications focusing on the analysis of social media.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:</div><div><br></div><div>Theoretical aspects:</div><div>* Computational or statistical learning theory related to graphs</div><div>* Theoretical analysis of graph algorithms or models</div>
<div>* Sampling and evaluation issues in graph algorithms</div><div>* Analysis of dynamic graphs</div><div>* Relationships between MLG and statistical relational learning or inductive</div><div>logic programming</div><div>
<br></div><div>Algorithms and methods:</div><div>* Graph mining</div><div>* Kernel methods for structured data</div><div>* Probabilistic and graphical models for structured data</div><div>* (Multi-) Relational data mining</div>
<div>* Methods for structured outputs</div><div>* Statistical models of graph structure</div><div>* Combinatorial graph methods</div><div>* Spectral graph methods</div><div>* Semi-supervised learning, active learning, transductive inference, and</div>
<div>transfer learning in the context of graph</div><div><br></div><div>Applications and analysis:</div><div>* Analysis of social media</div><div>* Social network analysis</div><div>* Analysis of biological networks</div>
<div>* Knowledge graph construction</div><div>* Large-scale analysis and modeling</div><div><br></div><div>We invite the submission of regular research papers (6-8 pages) as well as</div><div>position papers (2-4 pages). Authors whose papers are accepted to the workshop</div>
<div>will have the opportunity to participate in a poster session, and some</div><div>set may also be chosen for oral presentation.</div><div><br></div><div>Timeline:</div><div>Submission Deadline: June 6</div><div>Notification: June 25</div>
