Abstract

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 2014 International Workshop on Web-scale Knowledge Representation, Retrieval, and Reasoning (Web-KR 2014), co-located with the 23rd ACM International Conference on Information and Knowledge Management (CIKM 2014) at Shanghai, China. This workshop is the fifth version in the workshop series under the title of "Web-scale Knowledge Representation, Retrieval, and Reasoning (Web-KR)".

Web-KR 2014 continues its mission to take grand challenges and potential applications for knowledge processing in the Web age and at Web scale (such as dynamics, uncertainty, inconsistency and scalability). It brings together researchers from the Web, Artificial Intelligence, High Performance Computing, Knowledge Management, Databases, and Machine Learning to discuss all issues of Web-KR in a synergistic setting. We hope to motivate different thoughts on Web-KR related issues and solutions from researchers in these different fields.

The Web-KR 2014 program committee accepted 12 papers that cover different interesting, emergent and important topics, including knowledge extraction, representation, knowledge clustering, inconsistency checking, entity relatedness and linking, query suggestions, etc.

Structured Information Extraction from Natural Disaster Events on Twitter

As soon as natural disaster events happen, users are eager to know more about them. However, search engines currently provide a ten blue links interface for queries related to such events. Relevance of results for such queries can be significantly ...

A Study on the CBOW Model's Overfitting and Stability

Word vectors are distributed representations of word features. Continuous Bag-of-Words Model(CBOW) is a state-of-the-art model for learning word vectors, yet can be ameliorated for learning better word vectors because we find that CBOW is vulnerable to ...

Repairing Inconsistent Taxonomies Using MAP Inference and Rules of Thumb

Several authors have developed relation extraction methods for automatically learning or refining taxonomies from large text corpora such as the Web. However, without appropriate post-processing, such taxonomies are often inconsistent (e.g. they contain ...

Structure Learning of Bayesian Network with Latent Variables by Weight-Induced Refinement

Bayesian network (BN) with latent variables (LVs) provides a concise and straightforward framework for representing and inferring uncertain knowledge with unobservable variables or with regard to missing data. To learn the BN with LVs consistently with ...

Learning to Match Heterogeneous Structures using Partially Labeled Data

This paper addresses the problem of matching between highly heterogeneous structures. The problem is modeled as a classification task where training examples are used to learn the matching between structures. In our approach, training is performed using ...
