ESAIR

The continuing goal of the Exploiting Semantic Annotations in Information Retrieval (ESAIR) workshop series is to create a forum for researchers interested in the application of semantic annotations for information access tasks. ESAIR’16 sets its focus on personal mobile applications and will be held in conjunction with CIKM’16 at Indianapolis, USA in October.

Important dates:

• Position paper submission (2+1 pages): Aug 1, 2016
• Demo submission (4+ pages): Aug 8, 2016
• Acceptance notification: 22 August, 2016
• Camera-ready version: 1 September, 2016

The Exploiting Semantic Annotations in Information Retrieval (ESAIR) workshop series aims to advance the general research agenda on the problem of creating and exploiting semantic annotations. The eighth edition of ESAIR, with a renewed set of organizers, sets its focus on applications. We invite presentations of prototype systems in a dedicated “Annotation in Action” demo track, in addition to the regular research and position paper contributions. A Best Demonstration Award, sponsored by Google, will be presented to the authors of the most outstanding demo at the workshop.

Submissions: regular research papers (4+ pages), position papers (2+1 pages), demo papers (4+ pages)
Deadline: July 2nd

The workshop also offers a track for authors of papers that were not successful at the main conference for their work to be considered for presentation at the workshop; the deadline for these contributions is July 8. In this case, authors are required to attach the reviews for their paper along with the paper so as to facilitate the decision process.
