Workshop Description
For the past sixteen years, the workshops in the TextGraphs series have 
published and promoted the synergy between the field of Graph Theory (GT) and 
Natural Language Processing (NLP). The mix between the two started small, with 
graph-theoretical frameworks providing efficient and elegant solutions for NLP 
applications. Graph-based solutions initially focused on single-document 
part-of-speech tagging, word sense disambiguation, and semantic role labeling. 
They became progressively larger to include ontology learning and information 
extraction from large text collections. Nowadays, graph-based solutions also 
target Web-scale applications such as information propagation in social 
networks, rumor proliferation, e-reputation, multiple entity detection, 
language dynamics learning, and future events prediction, to name a few.
We plan to encourage the description of novel NLP problems or applications that 
have emerged in recent years, which can be enhanced with existing and new 
graph-based methods. The sixteenth edition of the TextGraphs workshop aims to 
extend the focus on graph-based representations for (1) integration and joint 
training and use of transformer-based models for graphs and text (such as 
Graph-BERT and BERT), and (2) domain-specific natural language inference. 
Related to the former point, we would like to advance the state-of-the-art 
natural language understanding facilitated with large-scale language models 
like GPT-3 and linguistic relationships represented by graph neural networks. 
Related to the latter point, we are interested in addressing a challenging task 
contributing to mathematical proof discovery. Furthermore, we also encourage 
research on applications of graph-based methods in knowledge graphs to link 
them to related NLP problems and applications.

TextGraphs-16 invites submissions on (but not limited to) the following topics
*   Graph-based and graph-supported machine learning methods: Graph embeddings 
and their combinations with text embeddings; Graph-based and graph-supported 
deep learning (e.g., graph-based recurrent and recursive networks); 
Probabilistic graphical models and structure learning methods
*   Graph-based methods for Information Retrieval and Extraction: Graph-based 
methods for word sense disambiguation; Graph-based strategies for semantic 
relation identification; Encoding semantic distances in graphs; Graph-based 
techniques for text summarization, simplification, and paraphrasing; 
Graph-based techniques for document navigation and visualization
*   New graph-based methods for NLP applications: Random walk methods in 
graphs; Semi-supervised graph-based methods
*   Graph-based methods for applications on social networks
*   Graph-based methods for NLP and Semantic Web: Representation learning 
methods for knowledge graphs; Using graphs-based methods to populate ontologies 
using textual data
