Announcement
In today's
information-centric world, effective access to and use of
knowledge is a key enabler for progress. Driven by the demands
for intelligent applications and the explosion of information on
the Web, the study of Knowledge Capture is crucially important.
Knowledge Capture is the extraction of useful knowledge from
diverse sources: unstructured information sources,
semi-structured and structured data sources, knowledge graphs
and directly from crowds and individuals, either through
observation or implicit or explicit elicitation.
The wealth of
information available from such a variety of sources calls for
new methods of Knowledge Capture that draw both from traditional
knowledge acquisition techniques and from more data-driven
techniques such as large-scale data mining, statistical analysis
and data analytics.
Researchers
and practitioners who work in the area of Knowledge Capture
traditionally participate in several distinct communities,
including Knowledge Engineering, Machine Learning, Natural
Language Processing, Human-Computer Interaction, Artificial Inteligence and the Semantic Web. K-CAP
2015 will provide a forum to bring together members of disparate
research communities who are interested in all aspects of
capturing knowledge from a variety of sources, as well as those
interested in creating representations that can be useful for
reasoning, analysis, and other forms of machine processing.
Venue
This year's
K-CAP conference will be held at the Dolce Palisades Hotel and
Conference Center, just outside New York City. The Dolce
Palisades is within 30 miles of the NYC airports: John F.
Kennedy (JFK), LaGuardia (LGA), Newark (EWR) and Westchester
(HPN). The venue is minutes by car to Tarrytown Station, with
service to Grand Central Terminal in Manhattan.
K-CAP 2015 is
also conveniently close in time and space to this year's
International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC 2015) at Lehigh
University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Although the two
conferences are not quite "co-located", those at K-CAP 2015 can
easily attend the last K-CAP plenary session, have their free
K-CAP lunch and make it to Bethlehem to check in prior to the
first day of ISWC activities.
