Call for papers : Information Discovery with Machine Intelligence for Language Special issue call for papers from Information Discovery and Delivery Machine Intelligence for Natural Language Processing is a rapidly developing research area in recent years (Young et al. 2018). With the development of neural language modeling and transfer learning techniques, such as ULMfit (Howard and Ruder 2018), BERT (Devlin et al. 2018) and GPT-2, researchers have achieved state-of-the-art results on a variety of NLP tasks, at times even claiming to have out-performed human beings (Czapla, Howard, and Kardas 2018). We are interested in the question of whether and how the exciting new technologies currently being developed in deep learning and Natural Language Processing can lead to a boom of applications in the field of information discovery, and further to a consequent benefit to human beings. Here are some examples of the types of questions we hope may be addressed by submissions to this special issue: We know labeling datasets can be very hard and/or expensive. Can we transfer a model trained on vast amounts of English text to another language which has only thousands or even hundreds of examples? Should we exploit existing word-level embeddings, or instead try sentence- and/or paragraph-level language modeling, or should we go in the opposite direction and employ character-level modeling? In computer vision, data augmentation is a common practice. Images are cropped or rotated to make new” images to feed deep learning models, hoping to avoid overfitting the model to the training and test data. Can we do similar things by using synthetic text data? Why or why not? We need experiments to show the results, and we need analytics to explain the reasons for those results. How can we lead a machine to understand the meaning of a text, instead of just making predictions based on things like frequency, probability, or pure luck? We cannot forget that real people generate most texts. Can we use data generated by people to model the users and find their potential information needs? We invite authors to submit papers that address the questions above, as well as related questions not outlined in this proposal. Whether a particular paper address the concerns of the special issue will be left to the discretion of the guest editors, in consultation with the senior editor(s) where necessary. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Language Modeling for Information Retrieval Transfer Learning for Text Classification Word and Character Representations for Cross-Lingual Analysis Information Extraction and Knowledge Graph Building Discourse Analysis at Sentence Level and Beyond Synthetic Text Data for Machine Learning Purposes User Modeling and Information Recommendation based on Text Analysis Semantic Analysis with Machine Learning Other applications of CL/NLP for Information Discovery Other related topics Guest Editors Dr. Shuyi Wang , Tianjin Normal University, nkwshuyi@gmail.com Dr. Alexis Palmer , University of North Texas, alexis.palmer@unt.edu Dr. Chengzhi Zhang , Nanjing University of Science and Technology, zhangcz@njust.edu.cn Important Dates First announcement/CfP: June 3, 2019 Second CfP: October 15, 2019 Final Reminder: November 11, 2019 Submissions due: November 18, 2019 Papers sent to reviewers: November 25, 2019 Reviews due: December 20, 2019 Author notification: January 13, 2020 Final papers: February 7, 2020 Submissions must comply with the journal author guidelines which are here – see www.emeraldgrouppublishing.com/products/journals/author_guidelines.htm?id=idd Submissions must be made through ScholarOne Manuscripts, the online submission, and peer review system.

Das paper „Analysis of alternative policy instruments to promote electric vehicles in Austria“ wird in einem Special Issue von Applied Energy publiziert werden. Abstract The large amount of CO2 emissions and of fossil fuel consumption by the transportation sector makes the sector central for attaining the EU energy and climate policy targets. Consequently, new propulsion systems are developed in the automotive industry, which currently have cost disadvantages compared to conventional internal combustion engines (ICE). The article provides a review on support measures for electric vehicles which have been currently implemented within the European Union. In a case study analysis for Austria, we analyze different policy instruments including a CO2 tax aiming to support electric vehicles in Austria. We have calculated and compared total costs of ownership (TCO), which includes all costs associated with the ownership of an automobile including costs of purchasing, operating and maintaining, charges and taxes as well as costs of recycling and disposal. A survey on main specifications of electric vehicles has been conducted among the main automobile manufacturers and importers in Austria. Based on this survey, TCO have been calculated dynamically from 2011 to 2020 for a business as usual (BAU) scenario considering currently implemented taxes and subsidies for ICE and electric vehicle systems. Three alternative policy support measures have been assessed to promote EV to ICE until 2015. We conclude that an up-front price support seems to be favorable over taxation systems.

CFP: The Electronic Library Special Issue on Multilinguality in Digital Libraries OVERVIEW =========================================================================== This is a fascinating period in the history of library services. For the first time, it is possible to build large, diverse, and universal access library services using collections of digital information and delivering over an information infrastructure at the global scale. This so called digital library brings together researchers and experts from many different disciplines and backgrounds, and enables changes with profound social, organizational and legal implications. Over the past decades, digital libraries have been adopted widely in many areas, and are becoming increasingly complex. They draw on heterogeneous resources, serve diverse user populations, and carry out tasks that are getting more and more complicated. Increasingly, there are demands for multimedia, multicultural, and multilingual digital libraries. Multilingual communication enables the dissemination of information beyond the boundaries of languages. Nearly every sector of our increasingly global economy and culturally diverse society needs to master multilingual communication. On the one hand, digital information has been created in more than one language, and on the other hand, world wide open access has created a large user population with very diverse languages and cultural backgrounds. Studying multilingual technologies and resources, therefore, helps digital library users to search, browse, recognize and use information from sets of multilingual multimedia information objects. The study of multilingual technology has existed for at least 15 years, and many new technologies, such as multilingual information access systems, machine translation systems, multilingual thesaurus, etc., have been developed. However, technology development has not fully solved the technology-related problems, not to mention the communication and society-related issues. For example, no widely-used multilingual information access system is available in most digital libraries. People still mostly search for information within their own language unless searching for academic information. In addition, the laws to govern information in different languages are still far from complete, especially the online copyright law. Languages and societies still feel threatened by certain online efforts, such as the Google Book Search project. We still do not have an effective ontology or metadata scheme, which are very important resources in digital libraries, for online resources in one language, not to mention those in multiple languages. THE SCOPE =========================================================================== We invite submissions exploring various multilingual related issues in all types of digital libraries. This special issue aims to put specific emphasis on examining the recent achievements at the service side, the user side, and the collection development side of multilingual resources and technologies in digital libraries. The topics that we are specifically interested in are: 1. Service side: The current status of multilingual services in digital libraries The legal and copyright issues in multilingual information access Multilingual information services, training and education 2. User side: Digital library users' multilingual demands and requests Human information behavior in multilingual digital libraries Human computer interaction in multilingual digital libraries 3. Collection development side Multilingual resources and technologies for open access Multilingual collection building and evaluation Multilingual Web academic information organization and mining Multilingual generic and domain specific information portal development 4. Support technology Cross language information retrieval and machine translation for digital libraries Multilingual thesaurus, metadata and ontology for digital libraries Multilingual social network analysis and mining for digital libraries Multilingual information visualization for digital libraries Other multilingual information processing technologies for digital libraries However, the solicited papers are not restricted to the topics discussed above. All papers related to multilingual resources and technologies in digital libraries will be considered. HOW TO SUBMIT =========================================================================== Potential authors are asked to submit to the guest editors by email a tentative title and short abstract (which can be revised for the actual submission) to assist in the formation of a panel of appropriate reviewers. Each actual submission of manuscript should note that it is intended for the Special Issue on Electronic Libraries. Submissions to the special issue should follow the journal's formatting guidelines (see http://info.emeraldinsight.com/products/journals/author_guidelines.htm?id=el ), but the manuscript submissions should be sent to the guest editors by email directly. REVIEW PROCESS =========================================================================== Submissions will undergo the normal review process, and will be reviewed by three established researchers selected from a review panel formed for the special issue. Barring unforeseen problems, authors can expect to be notified regarding the review results within three months of submission. GUEST EDITORS =========================================================================== Prof. Daqing He, School of Information Sciences, University of Pittsburgh Email: dah44@pitt.edu Dr. Dan Wu, School of Information Management, Wuhan University Email: woodan@whu.edu.cn IMPORTANT DATES =========================================================================== Deadline for submission of title and abstract: November 1st, 2010 Deadline for paper submissions: December 1st, 2010 Notification to authors: March 1st, 2011 ABOUT THE ELECTRONIC LIBRARY =========================================================================== The Electronic Library is a refereed journal which is devoted to the applications and implications of new information and communication technologies, automation, user interfaces, networks and the Web in all types of libraries, information centers and museums throughout the world. It provides a vehicle for reporting and reviewing the latest research, ongoing developments and hardware and software implementations in today's digital library and information environments in different countries; as well as trends in usability, electronic books and e-readiness.

The transition from file sharing to commerce brings some security and privacy issues. For example, the shared content may be copied from an official content provider illegally, and the user ID or credit card information may be stolen. Additionally, some sensitive contents related to terror, sex or privacy may be spread out illegally. Although some issues are still open, e.g., who (uploader or website operator) will be responsible for the content, it is sure that supervisors or operators of multimedia social networks are expecting the solutions. Now, some methods have been proposed to solve the copyright issues or security flaws in social networks. This special session aims to bring together research work in the area of security and privacy protection in multimedia social network, investigate the novel solutions and discuss the future trends in this field. Topics The paper may focus on surveys, architecture construction, system modeling, algorithm designing or hardware implementation. Both review paper and technical paper are expected. The topics include but are not limited to Techniques for multimedia content sharing in social networks Copyright issues and solutions of multimedia sharing social networks Privacy issues and solutions of multimedia sharing social networks Sensitive (sexual, terrorized, etc.) content detection and control in social networks Business model and secure interaction in social networks Authentication, Authorization and Usage Control for DRM in social networks Security and risk management on copyrighted multimedia contents transaction Submission The paper should be formatted according to Author Kit on Paper Submission page of http://www.ieee-mines.org/ .

http://www.icmlc.com/iwwip/iwwip_welcome.htm Organized By: IEEE System, Man and Cybernetic Society, Shenzhen Chapter Harbin Institute of Technology(Shenzhen), China The World Wide Web (WWW) is an extremely important information source, which is widely used by people from every walk of life. In addition, due to the growing popularity of the WWW, information on the web gets richer and richer everyday. But, this does not come in at no cost. The growing amount of information over the WWW renders information processing more and more complex and hence more time consuming. This leads to the inception of the International Workshop on Web Information Processing (IWWIP) series. IWWIP 2010 will provide a forum for researchers on information processing to explore techniques for retrieving, organizing, analyzing, mining and learning of both structured and unstructured information on the WWW. Especially, IWWIP 2010 focuses on research on the application of text mining, natural language processing and natural language understanding techniques to process large amount of complex Web information. IWWIP 2010 will be held as part of 2010 IEEE International Conference on Machine Learning and Cybernetics (ICMLC 2010). Participants are free to attend sessions, tutorials, panels, and demonstrations offered by both ICMLC 2010 and IWWIP 2010. All IWWIP 2010 papers will be published in the ICMLC 2010 Proceedings and appear in IEEE Xplore (All past ICMLC papers are EI indexed). Furthermore, selected papers will be recommended for publication in the International Journal of Computer Processing of Oriental Languages, Far East Journal of Experimental and Theoretical Artificial Intelligence and International Journal of Machine Learning and Cybernetics. Topics of Interest We invite submissions in all Web information processing related areas. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: Content-based Web Information Filtering Intelligent Human-Web Interaction Machine Learning for Information Processing Ontology-Based Information Extraction and Retrieval Opinion Mining and Sentiment Analysis Search Engines and Meta-search Engines Social Networks Model and Mining Soft Computing for Information Processing Language Generation Parsing and Chunking Question Answering Web Information Extraction Semantic Role Labeling for Information Processing Machine Translation Multilingual Processing Multimodal Systems and Representations Statistical and Machine Learning Methods Knowledge Grids and Grid Intelligence Text Mining and Web Content Mining Web Information Categorization Web Information Clustering Web Information Retrieval Web-Based Ontology Learning Paper Submission Paper submissions should be limited to a maximum of 6 pages (one extra page would be allowed with additional payment).

Artificial Intelligence Journal Special Issue on Artificial Intelligence, Wikipedia and Semi-Structured Resources GUEST EDITORS: Eduard Hovy, Roberto Navigli, Simone Paolo Ponzetto http://www.cl.uni-heidelberg.de/~ponzetto/aij/ CALL FOR PAPERS The availability of large amounts of wide-coverage semantic knowledge, and the ability to extract it using the powerful new statistical machine learning techniques developed and used in various branches of AI, is making possible significant advances in applications that require deep understanding capabilities such as question-answering engines and dialogue systems. Though well-known problems such as high cost and scalability discouraged the development of knowledge-rich approaches in the past, more recently the increasing availability of online collaborative resources has attracted the attention of much work in the AI community. Collaboratively constructed knowledge repositories have in fact been used as wide-coverage sources of semi-structured information and manual annotations. When coupled with free-form natural language information, these resources enable the development of large-scale structured resources using knowledge-lean applications. Wikipedia is a case in point, being the largest and most popular collaborative and multilingual resource of world and linguistic knowledge that contains unstructured and (semi-)structured information. This special issue aims to collect state-of-the-art contributions to the development and use of hybrid (structured, semi-structured, and unstructured) resources in AI. These include, but are not limited to, semi-structured encyclopedic resources such as Wikipedia (and related projects such as Wiktionary), user-generated answer repositories such as Wiki and Yahoo! Answers, and collaborative tagging efforts on social media platforms such as Flickr and Blogger. Hybrid knowledge resources such as Wikipedia enable the development of methods for extracting, bootstrapping and integrating fully structured, machine-readable knowledge from both unstructured and semi-structured origins. Such induced wide-coverage knowledge is expected to prove beneficial for a variety of AI tasks, as well as the Semantic Web. We are particularly interested in articles showing the benefits of using such resources and AI techniques synergistically. We thus welcome contributions dealing with applications of general AI methodologies for the construction and validation of large-scale machine-readable knowledge repositories and the impact of automatically-extracted knowledge for AI applications. We also encourage contributors to investigate the nature and impact of the structured and unstructured parts of the resource (e.g. information redundancy, overlaps, connections, etc.). TOPICS Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Using Wikipedia and other semi-structured content in AI tasks. Examples include Word Sense Disambiguation, Information Retrieval, Information Extraction, Question Answering, etc. * Automatic transformation of hybrid knowledge repositories into fully-structured resources * Extraction and formalization of information from hybrid resources into knowledge bases and databases * Automatic integration of semi-structured knowledge repositories with structured resources (e.g. Cyc, WordNet, SUMO) * Enriching encyclopedic and semi-structured entries with new types of structural information * Wikipedia and the Semantic Web * Automatic extraction and use of cross-lingual information, and other multilingual aspects of Wikipedias and Wiktionaries in AI * Knowledge acquisition from collaborative user contributions * AI methods for improving the quality of (semi-)structured user contributions SUBMISSION INFORMATION Deadline for submissions: October 31, 2010. Please follow the submission instructions available from the AIJ webpage under Submit Article at http://ees.elsevier.com/artint/ For additional information, please contact Simone Paolo Ponzetto ( lastname@cl.uni-heidelberg.de ). IMPORTANT DATES * Submission deadline: October 31, 2010 * First-round reviews due: January 31, 2011 * Revised versions due: May 30, 2011 * Second-round reviews due: June 30, 2011 * Final versions due: July 31, 2011 * Special issue publication: Fall 2011

Wherever appropriate, concrete evaluation and analysis should be included. Submissions will be judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance and relevance to the conference, and interest to the attendees. Each submission will be reviewed by at least three program committee members. Full papers may consist of up to eight (8) pages of content, plus one extra page for references, and will be presented orally or as a poster presentation as determined by the program committee. The decisions as to which papers will be presented orally and which as poster presentations will be based on the nature rather than on the quality of the work. There will be no distinction in the proceedings between full papers presented orally and those presented as poster presentations. The deadline for full papers is February 22, 2009 (GMT + 8). Submission will be electronic using paper submission software that will be available at the conference website. Short papers: ACL-IJCNLP 2009 solicits short papers as well. Short paper submissions must describe original and unpublished work. The short paper deadline is just about three months before the conference to accommodate the following types of papers: - A small, focused contribution - Work in progress - A negative result - An opinion piece - An interesting application nugget Short papers will be presented in one or more oral or poster sessions, and will be given four pages in the proceedings. While short papers will be distinguished from full papers in the proceedings, there will be no distinction in the proceedings between short papers presented orally and those presented as poster presentations. Each short paper submission will be reviewed by at least two program committee members. The deadline for short papers is April 26, 2009(GMT + 8). Submission will be electronic using paper submission software that will be available at the conference website. Format: Full paper submissions should follow the two-column format of ACL-IJCNLP 2009 proceedings without exceeding eight (8) pages of content plus one extra page for references. Short paper submissions should also follow the two-column format of ACL-IJCNLP 2009 proceedings, and should not exceed four (4) pages, including references. We strongly recommend the use of ACL LaTeX style files or Microsoft Word Style files tailored for this year's conference, which will be available on the conference website. All submissions must conform to the official ACL-IJCNLP 2009 style guidelines to be announced in the conference website and they must be electronic in PDF. As the reviewing will be blind, the paper must not include the authors' names and affiliations. Furthermore, self-references that reveal the author's identity, e.g., We previously showed (Smith, 1991) ..., must be avoided. Instead, use citations such as Smith previously showed (Smith, 1991) .... Papers that do not conform to these requirements will be rejected without review. Multiple-submission policy: Papers that have been or will be submitted to other meetings or publications must provide this information at submission time. If ACL-IJCNLP 2009 accepts a paper, authors must notify the program chairs by April 19, 2009 (full papers) or June 7, 2009 (short papers), indicating which meeting they choose for presentation of their work. ACL-IJCNLP 2009 cannot accept for publication or presentation work that will be (or has been) published elsewhere. Mentoring Service: ACL is providing a mentoring (coaching) service for authors from regions of the world where English is less emphasized as a language of scientific exchange. Many authors from these regions, although able to read the scientific literature in English, have little or no experience in writing papers in English for conferences such as the ACL meetings. The service will be arranged as follows. A set of potential mentors will be identified by Mentoring Service Chairs Ng, Hwee Tou (NUS, Singapore) and Reeder, Florence (Mitre, USA), who will organize this service for ACL-IJCNLP 2009. If you would like to take advantage of the service, please upload your paper in PDF format by January 14, 2009 for long papers and March 18 2009 for short papers using the paper submission software for mentoring service which will be available at conference website. An appropriate mentor will be assigned to your paper and the mentor will get back to you by February 8 for long papers or April 12 for short papers, at least 2 weeks before the deadline for the submission to the ACL-IJCNLP 2009 program committee. Please note that this service is for the benefit of the authors as described above. It is not a general mentoring service for authors to improve the technical content of their papers. If you have any questions about this service please feel free to send a message to Ng, Hwee Tou (nght@comp.nus.edu.sg) or Reeder, Florence (floreederacl@yahoo.com).
