  1. Conference and Workshop Tracker Andy Carlson Vitor Carvalho Kevin Killourhy Mohit Kumar

  2. Overview • We intend to find and gather the salient details about upcoming and past conferences and workshops. • Submission Deadline • Date • Location • Meta-area (e.g., Machine Learning, Wireless Networks, or 12th Century Architecture) • Organizing committee • Home page • Call for papers • Other details… • We expect that some of these details will be difficult to extract, and may initially focus on deadlines, dates, and locations.

  3. Belief Rules • ConferenceURL(<conf-name>,<url>) • DeadlineFor(<conf-name>,<date>) • DateOf(<conf-name>,<date>) • LocationOf(<conf-name>,<location>) (note: “conference” is being used to denote workshops as well)

  4. Redundancies Expect to exploit redundancies between: • Official conference/workshop homepage • Lists of upcoming conferences maintained by research groups • Similar lists by professional societies (e.g., IEEE and ACM) • Calls for papers archived from mailing lists • Text before/after/inside links to conference homepage

  5. Extraction Rules (1) Example for conference URLs and submission deadlines: • If page title for <url> matches “… Conference on …” then believe ConferenceURL(<name>, <url>) • ConferenceURL(“8th Annual Conference on Computational Genomics”, “http://www.jax.org/courses/events/coursedetails.do?id=137”) • ConferenceURL(“3rd International Conference on Informatics in Control, Automation and Robotics”, “http://www.icinco.org/”) • ConferenceURL(“Twenty-First National Conference on Artificial Intelligence”, “http://www.aaai.org/Conferences/AAAI/aaai06.php”)

  6. Extraction Rules (2) • If string=“Abstract Submission: <date>” at <url> and ConferenceURL(<name>,<url>) then believe DeadlineFor(<name>,<date>) - DeadlineFor(“Twenty-First National Conference on Artificial Intelligence”, “February 16”)

  7. Extraction Rules (3) • If table has column X=“Deadline” and column Y=“Conference” then for each row extract DeadlineFor(Y,X) • From http://l2r.cs.uiuc.edu/~cogcomp/conference_schedule.php • DeadlineFor(“NIPS 2005” , “June 03, 2005”) • DeadlineFor(“HLT-NAACL 2006”, “December 16, 2005”) • DeadlineFor(“AAAI 2006”, “February 16, 2006”) • (and 9 others)
