Initial CFP for SIGMOD 2014 Workshop on Automatic Construction and Curation of Knowledge-bases (WACCK-2014)
Recently, there has been a significant amount of interest in automatically
creating large-scale knowledge bases (KBs) from unstructured text. The
Web-scale knowledge extraction task presents a unique set of opportunities
and challenges. The resulting knowledge bases can have the advantage of
scale and coverage. They have been enriched by linking to the Semantic Web,
in particular the growing linked open dataset (LOD). These semantic
knowledge bases have been used for a wide variety of Natural Language
Processing, Knowledge Representation, and Reasoning applications such as
