Connectionists: [CFP] ACM KDD MLG'19 -- 15th International Workshop on Mining and Learning with Graphs

[Shobeir Fakhraei]

15th International Workshop on Mining and Learning with Graphs (MLG 2019)

August 6, 2019

Anchorage, Alaska, USA (co-located with KDD 2019)

http://www.mlgworkshop.org/2019/

Deadlines: (Abstract) May 5, 2019 - (Submission) May 15, 2019

Call for papers:

This workshop is a forum for exchanging ideas and methods for mining and
learning with graphs, developing new common understandings of the problems
at hand, sharing of data sets where applicable, and leveraging existing
knowledge from different disciplines. The goal is to bring together
researchers from academia, industry, and government, to create a forum for
discussing recent advances graph analysis. In doing so, we aim to better
understand the overarching principles and the limitations of our current
methods and to inspire research on new algorithms and techniques for mining
and learning with graphs.

To reflect the broad scope of work on mining and learning with graphs, we
encourage submissions that span the spectrum from theoretical analysis to
algorithms and implementation, to applications and empirical studies. As an
example, the growth of user-generated content on blogs, discussion forums,
product reviews, etc., has given rise to a host of new opportunities for
graph mining in the analysis of social media. We encourage submissions on
theory, methods, and applications focusing on a broad range of graph-based
approaches in various domains.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Theoretical aspects:

   -

   Computational or statistical learning theory related to graphs
   -

   Theoretical analysis of graph algorithms or models
   -

   Sampling and evaluation issues in graph algorithms
   -

   Analysis of dynamic graphs

Algorithms and methods:

   -

   Graph mining
   -

   Probabilistic and graphical models for structured data
   -

   Heterogeneous/multi-model graph analysis
   -

   Network embedding models
   -

   Statistical models of graph structure
   -

   Combinatorial graph methods
   -

   Semi-supervised learning, active learning, transductive inference, and
   transfer learning in the context of graphs

Applications and analysis:

   -

   Analysis of social media
   -

   Analysis of biological networks
   -

   Knowledge graph construction
   -

   Large-scale analysis and modeling


All papers will be peer reviewed, single-blinded. We welcome many kinds of
papers, such as, but not limited to:

   -

   Novel research papers
   -

   Demo papers
   -

   Work-in-progress papers
   -

   Visionary papers (white papers)
   -

   Appraisal papers of existing methods and tools (e.g., lessons learned)
   -

   Relevant work that has been previously published
   -

   Work that will be presented at the main conference


Authors should clearly indicate in their abstracts the kinds of submissions
that the papers belong to, to help reviewers better understand their
contributions. Submissions must be in PDF, no more than 8 pages long —
shorter papers are welcome — and formatted according to the standard
double-column ACM Proceedings Style
<http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template#aL2>. The accepted
papers will be published on the workshop’s website and will not be
considered archival for resubmission purposes. Authors whose papers are
accepted to the workshop will have the opportunity to participate in a
spotlight and poster session, and some set will also be chosen for oral
presentation.
