Semantic Methods for Events and Stories, 2nd Edition (SEMMES 2024) – Call for 
Papers
***************

Website: https://anr-kflow.github.io/semmes/

Workshop co-located with the Extended Semantic Web Conference (ESWC) in 
Hersonissos, Greece
Submission deadline: March 7th, 2024   => March 14th, 2024

Scope
***************
An important part of human history and knowledge is made of events, which can 
be aggregated and connected to create stories, be they real or fictional. These 
events as well as the stories created from them can typically be inherently 
complex, reflect societal or political stances and be perceived differently 
across the world population. The Semantic Web offers technologies and methods 
to represent these events and stories, as well as to interpret the knowledge 
encoded into graphs and use it for different applications, spanning from 
narrative understanding and generation to fact-checking.

The aim of the 2nd edition of our workshop on Semantic Methods for Events and 
Stories (SEMMES) is to offer an opportunity to discuss the challenges related 
to dealing with events and stories, and how we can use semantic methods to 
tackle them. We welcome approaches which combine data, methods and technologies 
coming from the Semantic Web with methods from other fields, including machine 
learning, narratology or information extraction. This workshop wants to bring 
together researchers working on complementary topics, in order to foster 
collaboration and sharing of expertise in the context of events and stories.

Topics
***************
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Ontologies and data models for representing events, event relations, and 
narratives;
- Event extraction, co-reference and linking;
- Event Relation extraction and linking (e.g. temporal, causal, modal 
relationships);
- Methods combining KGs and LLMs targeting event- or narrative-related research;
- Fake events detection and event verification;
- Event-centric question answering;
- Event information visualisation;
- Event-centric knowledge graphs and vocabularies;
- Completion of event-centric knowledge graphs and reasoning;
- Event summarisation;
- Automatic narrative understanding and generation;
- Storytelling Applications/Demos.

Submission Guidelines
***************
We welcome the following types of contributions.

- Long papers (10-15 pages including references)
- Short papers (5-9 pages including references)

We welcome any types of research, resource and application papers, as well as 
(short only) demonstration submissions.

Submissions must be written in English and formatted using the template for 
submissions to CEUR Workshop Proceedings 
(https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/template-for-submissions-to-ceur-workshop-proceedings-ceur-ws-dot-org/wqyfdgftmcfw)
