Aims and Scope

Recent proliferation of scientific papers and technical documents has become an obstacle to efficient information acquisition of new information in various fields. It is almost impossible for individual researchers to check and read all related documents. Even retrieving relevant documents is becoming harder and harder. This workshop gathers all the researchers and experts who are aiming at scientific document analysis from various perspectives, and invite technical paper presentations and system demonstrations that cover any aspects of scientific document analysis.



Topics

Relevant topics include, but are not limited to, the following:




  • text analysis

  • document structure analysis

  • logical structure analysis

  • figure and table analysis

  • citation analysis of scientific and technical documents

  • scientific information assimilation

  • summarization and visualization

  • knowledge discovery/mining from scientific papers and data

  • similar document retrieval

  • entity and relation linking between documents and knowledge base

  • survey generation

  • resources for scientific documents analysis

  • document understanding in general

  • NLP systems aiming for scientific documents including tagging, parsing, coreference, etc.







Submissions

There are two classes of submissions:

Long paper on original and completed work, including concrete evaluation and analysis wherever appropriate; and

Short paper on a small, focused contribution, work in progress, a negative result, or an opinion piece.

The page limits are up to 14 pages including references for the longer papers, and up to 7 pages including references for the short papers.
