+ | ===== Topics Of Interest ===== | ||
+ | The AI mashup challenge accepts and awards mashups that use AI technology, including but not restricted to machine learning and data mining, machine vision, natural language processing, reasoning, ontologies in the context of the semantic web. Such services may run on any medium, including web browsers, handheld devices, mobile phones (IOS, Android), etc. Imagine for example: | ||
+ | * Information extraction or automatic text summarization to create a task-oriented overview mashup for mobile devices | ||
+ | * Semantic Web technology and data sources adapting to user and task-specific configurations | ||
+ | * Semantic background knowledge (such as ontologies, WordNet, Freebase or Cyc) to improve search and content combination | ||
+ | * Machine translation for mashups that cross-language borders | ||
+ | * Machine vision technology for novel ways of aggregating images, for instance mixing real and virtual environments | ||
+ | * Intelligent agents taking over simple household planning tasks | ||
+ | * Text-to-speech technology creating speech mashups with intelligent and emotional intonation | ||
+ | * Speech-to-text technology for interactive speech mashups and multimodal services | ||
+ | * The display of Pub Med articles on a map based on geographic entity detection referring to diseases or health centers | ||
+ | * The integration of enterprise data - see [[http://www.openmashup.org/|Open Mashup Alliance]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The emphasis is not on providing and consuming semantic markup, but rather on using intelligence to mashup these resources in a more powerful way. For more ideas have a look at last year's [[http://aimashup.org/aimashup13/|AI Mashup 2013 Challenge]]. | ||

===== Instructions for Challengers===== | ===== Instructions for Challengers===== | ||
- | This year, the awards will be decided both by the Program Committee and the Conference participants. The Program Committee will provide the 40% of the final score of each mashup whereas the Conference participants will vote for the remaining 60%. The Program committee will also decide which mashups will participate in the event. | + | Challengers should provide both a paper describing their mashup and an online, working prototype. Initially, all mashups will undergo a peer-review process that decides which Challengers will qualify to participate in the ESWC 2014 Conference. The qualification decision will be based on the quality of the submitted paper and the maturity of the corresponding mashup. Keep in mind that during the reviewing process, the members of the Program Committee will look for an online (not necessarily complete) version of each mashup. |
- | * As soon as you decide to participate in this event, register your mashup by sending an email to Ioannis Papadakis (address below). The organizers will provide you with access to a subpage of this wiki in order to advertise your mashup and refer to its URL. Have in mind that your mashup stays at your URL and under your control. You can go on improving it until the days of the conference. | + | The participation process is outlined in the following steps: |
- | * Submit a 5-page paper (LNCS format) corresponding to the mashup. Be careful, there is a deadline for paper submission! All submissions will be peer-reviewed. The reviewing process will result in the mashups that qualify to participate in the event and claim the awards. | + | * As soon as you decide to participate in this event, register your mashup by sending a short (no more than 200 words) abstract to Ioannis Papadakis (address below). The organizers will provide you with access to a subpage of this wiki in order to advertise your mashup and refer to its URL. Have in mind that your mashup stays at your URL and under your control. You can go on improving it until the days of the conference. |
- | * The Challenge will have its own session during the conference and you will be asked to present your mashup with a poster and/or laptop. | + | * Submit an 8-page paper (LNCS format) corresponding to the mashup. Be careful, there is a deadline for paper submission! All submissions will be peer-reviewed. The paper reviewing process along with the mashup evaluation per se will result in the mashups that qualify to participate in the event and compete for the highest ranking. |
- | * At the end of the event, all Conference participants will vote for the best mashup. Their vote together with the evaluation of the Program Committee will decide the winners of the Challenge. | + | * The Challenge will have its own session during the ESWC 2014 Conference. If you qualify to the event, you will be asked to present your mashup with a poster and/or laptop. Moreover, all qualified papers will participate in a dedicated proceedings volume at [[http://CEUR-WS.org|CEUR-WS.org]]. |
- | * The top-three papers will be published in supplementary post-conference proceedings to be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. If your paper belongs to the top-three, you will be asked to address the reviewers' comments and provide a camera-ready version as well. | + | * At the end of the event, all Conference participants will vote for the best mashup. Their vote will decide the winners of the Challenge. The three mashups that received the best reviews in the qualification process will be granted extra votes during the voting. More specifically, the best review will receive 4 extra votes, the second-best will receive 2 extra votes and the third-best will receive 1 extra vote. |
- | * Have in mind that you have enough time until the days of the Conference to improve your mashup and increase your chances to win the awards. | + | * The final results will be announced during the closing ceremony of the Conference and any possible awards will be given to their owners. |
+ | * The top-three mashups will have the opportunity to provide an extended version of their initial papers that will undergo another peer-reviewing process to participate in supplementary post-conference proceedings to be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. If your paper belongs to the top-three, you will be asked to address the reviewers' comments and provide a camera-ready version as well. | ||
+ | Have in mind that you have enough time until the days of the Conference to improve your mashup and increase your chances to be highly ranked. | ||
