recent years, deep learning has been applied successfully and achieved
state-of-the-art performance in a variety of domains, such as image
analysis. Despite this success, deep learning models remain hard to
analy</span><span>z</span><span>e data and understand what knowledge is represented in them, and how they generate decisions.</span></span></span></p><p dir="ltr"><span><span><span>Deep
Learning (DL) meets Natural Language Processing (NLP) to solve human
language problems for further applications, such as information
extraction, machine translation, search</span><span>, </span><span>and summarization. Previous works ha</span><span>ve</span><span> attested
the positive impact of domain knowledge on data analysis and vice
versa, for example pre-processing data, searching data, redundancy and
inconsistency data, knowledge engineering, domain concepts</span><span>, </span><span>and
relationships extraction, etc. Ontology is a structured knowledge
representation that facilitates data access (data sharing and reuse) and
assists the DL process as well. DL meets recent</span><span> </span><span>ontologies and tries to model data representations with many layers of non-linear transformations.</span></span></span></p><p dir="ltr"><span><span><span>The combination of DL, ontologies</span><span>, </span><span>and NLP might be beneficial for different tasks:</span></span></span></p><ul><li dir="ltr"><p dir="ltr"><span><span><span>Deep Learning for Ontologies: ontology population, ontology extension, ontology learning, ontology alignment</span><span>, </span><span>and integration,</span></span></span></p></li><li dir="ltr"><p dir="ltr"><span><span><span>Ontologies
for Deep Learning: semantic graph embeddings, latent semantic
representation, hybrid embeddings (symbolic and semantic
representations),</span></span></span></p></li><li dir="ltr"><p dir="ltr"><span><span><span>Deep Learning for NLP: summarization, translation, named entity recognition, question answering, document classification, etc.</span></span></span></p></li><li dir="ltr"><p dir="ltr"><span><span><span>NLP
for Deep Learning: parsing (part-of-speech tagging), tokenization,
sentence detection, dependency parsing, semantic role labeling, semantic
dependency parsing, etc.</span></span></span></p></li></ul><span dir="ltr"><div><span><span><span><strong>Objective</strong></span></span></span></div></span><p dir="ltr"><span><span><span>This</span><span> </span><span>workshop
aims at demonstrating recent and future advances in semantic rich deep
learning by using Semantic Web and NLP techniques which can reduce the
semantic gap between the data, applications, machine learning process,
in order to obtain semantic-aware approaches. In addition, the goal of
this workshop is to bring together an area for experts from industry,
science</span><span>, </span><span>and academia to exchange ideas and discuss the results of ongoing research in natural language processing, structured knowledge</span><span>, </span><span>and deep learning approaches.</span></span></span></p><p dir="ltr"><span><span><span>==============================<span></span>==============================<span></span>============<br></span></span></span></p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div><div><div><div><span><span><span><span><br><p dir="ltr"><span><span><span style="white-space:pre-wrap">We invite the submission of original works that are related -- but are not limited to -- the topics below.</span></span></span></p><span dir="ltr"><span><span><span style="white-space:pre-wrap">Topics of interest:</span></span></span></span><ul><li dir="ltr" style="white-space:pre-wrap"><p dir="ltr"><span><span><span>Construction ontology embeddings</span></span></span></p></li><li dir="ltr" style="white-space:pre-wrap"><p dir="ltr"><span><span><span>Ontology-based text classification</span></span></span></p></li><li dir="ltr" style="white-space:pre-wrap"><p dir="ltr"><span><span><span>Learning ontology embeddings</span></span></span></p></li><li dir="ltr" style="white-space:pre-wrap"><p dir="ltr"><span><span><span>Semantic role labeling</span></span></span></p></li><li dir="ltr" style="white-space:pre-wrap"><p dir="ltr"><span><span><span>Ontology reasoning with Deep Neural Networks</span></span></span></p></li><li dir="ltr" style="white-space:pre-wrap"><p dir="ltr"><span><span><span>Deep learning for ontological semantic annotations</span></span></span></p></li><li dir="ltr" style="white-space:pre-wrap"><p dir="ltr"><span><span><span>Spatial and temporal ontology embeddings</span></span></span></p></li><li dir="ltr" style="white-space:pre-wrap"><p dir="ltr"><span><span><span>Ontology alignment and matching based on deep learning models</span></span></span></p></li><li dir="ltr" style="white-space:pre-wrap"><p dir="ltr"><span><span><span>Ontology learning from text using deep learning models</span></span></span></p></li><li dir="ltr" style="white-space:pre-wrap"><p dir="ltr"><span><span><span>Unsupervised Learning</span></span></span></p></li><li dir="ltr" style="white-space:pre-wrap"><p dir="ltr"><span><span><span>Text classification using deep models</span></span></span></p></li><li dir="ltr" style="white-space:pre-wrap"><p dir="ltr"><span><span><span>Neural machine translation</span></span></span></p></li><li dir="ltr" style="white-space:pre-wrap"><p dir="ltr"><span><span><span>Deep question answering</span></span></span></p></li><li dir="ltr" style="white-space:pre-wrap"><p dir="ltr"><span><span><span>Deep text summarization</span></span></span></p></li><li dir="ltr" style="white-space:pre-wrap"><p dir="ltr"><span><span><span>Deep speech recognition</span></span></span></p></li><li dir="ltr" style="white-space:pre-wrap"><p dir="ltr"><span><span><span>and so on.</span></span></span></p></li></ul><span dir="ltr"><span><span><span style="white-space:pre-wrap">Submission:</span></span></span></span><p dir="ltr"><span><span><span style="white-space:pre-wrap">The workshop is open to submitting unpublished work resulting from research that presents original scientific results, methodological aspects, concepts, and approaches.
