Workshop Description


For the past seventeen 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. We widen the workshop topics beyond the familiar graph 
domain, encompassing a broader range of less examined structured data domains 
as well. The seventeenth edition of the TextGraphs workshop aims to extend the 
focus on exploring rising topics of large language models (LLMs) prompting from 
the unique perspective of GT. Therefore, our workshop aims to foster stronger, 
mutually advantageous connections between NLP and structured data, tackling key 
challenges inherent in each field.



TextGraphs-17 invites submissions on (but not limited to) the following topics:



  *   Knowledge Graphs Meet LLMs. A proper utilization of graph-based methods 
for reasoning over a Knowledge Graph (KG) is a prospective way to overcome 
critical limitations of the existing LLMs which lack interpretability and 
factual knowledge and are prone to the hallucination problem. Vice versa, the 
incorporation of LLM knowledge learnt from large textual collections may help 
many graph-related tasks, such as KG completion and graph representation 
learning. Thus, we are highly interested in novel research on the joint use of 
KG and LLM for an improved processing of either the NLP or graph domain 
(preferably both).



  *   Chain Prompting of LLMs. Recent studies show that prompting strategies 
like Chain-of-Thought and Graph-of-Thought enhance language understanding and 
generation tasks compared to the traditional few-shot methods. We welcome 
submissions developing advanced prompting schemes and software for LLMs and 
other pre-trained machine learning models.



  *   Learning from Structured Data. We greet novel efforts to build a bridge 
between NLP and various structured data formats including relational and 
non-relational databases, as well as standardized data formats (such as XML, 
JSON, RDF, etc.)



  *   Interpretability of NLP Systems. The question of interpretability poses a 
fundamental challenge for the practical application of NLP methods. We  invite 
researchers to adopt structured data and employ graph-based methods to shed 
light on decision-making  and logic behind modern LLMs. Any work on applying a 
KG or any other structured knowledge to explore and evaluate factual awareness, 
treating the interpretability problem from the GT perspective, or any other 
topic that utilizes graphs and other structured data to make LLMs more 
understandable, is met with appreciation.

Submission


We invite submissions of up to eight (8) pages maximum, plus bibliography for 
long papers and four (4) pages, plus bibliography, for short papers.


The ACL 2024 templates must be used; these are provided in LaTeX and also 
Microsoft Word format. Submissions will only be accepted in PDF format.

Shared Task


We invite participation in the task of Knowledge Graph Question Answering 
(KGQA). We will ask the participants to analyze candidate answers with text and 
graph features. For each query-answer candidate, a graph characterizing paths 
in Wikidata from entity from the query to the answer entity will be given.
