[Event at CIG] KGCSW-SETN 2026: Knowledge Graph Construction Workshop: Call for Papers

[Announce]

CALL FOR PAPERS: SETN 2026 WORKSHOP
KGCSW-SETN 2026: Knowledge Graph Construction Workshop


OVERVIEW
--------
The workshop on Knowledge Graph Construction is an essential step towards
harnessing the transformative power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in
understanding complex data landscapes. Knowledge graphs stand out as pivotal
tools for structuring data, making it interpretable and actionable by AI
systems. They enable the representation of data in a form that mirrors human
understanding, facilitating more natural interaction between humans and machines.

The construction of knowledge graphs embodies the synthesis of various AI
disciplines, including natural language processing, machine learning, and
semantic web technologies. By organizing this workshop, we aim to foster a
collaborative environment where experts and enthusiasts across these fields
can converge to share insights, challenges, and breakthroughs.

This workshop is held for the second time, following its previous edition at
SETN 2024.
