Aim of the Workshop

In the era of big data, massive amounts of information and data have dramatically changed human civilization. The broad availability of information provides more opportunities for people, but a new challenge is rising: how can we obtain useful knowledge from numerous information sources. A knowledge entity is a relatively independent and integral knowledge module in a special discipline or a research domain [1]. As a crucial medium for knowledge transmission, scientific documents that contain a large number of knowledge entities attract the attention of scholars [2]. Complementarily, informetrics, known as the study of quantitative aspects of information, has gained great benefits from artificial intelligence (AI), with its capacities in analyzing unstructured scalable data and streams, understanding uncertain semantics, and developing robust and repeatable models. Incorporating informetrics with AI techniques has demonstrated enormous success in turning big data into big value and impact. For example, deep learning approaches enlighten studies of pattern recognition and further leverage time series to track technological change. However, how to effectively cohere the power of AI and informetrics to create cross-disciplinary solutions is still elusive from neither theoretical nor practical perspectives.

This workshop aims to engage related communities in open problems in the extraction and evaluation of knowledge entities from scientific documents and AI + Informetrics. Specifically, knowledge entities in scientific documents may include method entities, tasks, dataset and metrics, software and tools, etc [3]. Knowledge entity application includes the construction of a knowledge entity graph and roadmap, modeling functions of knowledge entity citations, etc. There are some online platforms based on knowledge entities, e.g., SAGE Research Methods and ‘SOTA’ project. In parallel, this workshop also targets certain unsolved issues in AI + Informetrics and a wide range of its practical scenarios including: Cohering AI and informetrics to fulfill cross-disciplinary gaps from either theoretical or practical perspectives; elaborating AI-empowered informetric models with enhanced capabilities in robustness, adaptability, and effectiveness, and leveraging knowledge, concepts, and models in information management to strengthen the interpretability of AI + Informetrics to adapt to empirical needs in real-world cases [4].
This joint workshop entitles these two cutting-edge and cross-disciplinary directions as:

  • Extraction and Evaluation of Knowledge Entity (EEKE), highlighting the development of intelligent methods for identifying knowledge entities from scientific documents, and promoting their application in broad information studies.
  • AI + Informetrics (AII), emphasizing endeavors in interacting AI and informetrics by constructing fundamental theories, developing novel methodologies, bridging conceptual knowledge with practical uses, and creating real-word solutions.
This workshop is to gather researchers and practical users to open a collaborative platform for exchanging ideas, sharing pilot studies, and scoping future directions on this cutting-edge venue.

 

Workshop Topics

This workshop is primarily designed for academic researchers in broad information and library sciences, science of science, artificial intelligence, and will also be of interest to librarians, ST&I administrators and policymakers, and practitioners in any related sectors.
We invite stimulating research on topics including, but not limited to, methods of knowledge entity extraction and applications of knowledge entity. Specific examples of fields of interest include:

  • Task and methodology from scientific documents
  • Model and algorithmize entity extraction from scientific documents
  • Dataset and metrics mention extraction from scientific documents
  • Software and tool extraction from scientific documents
  • Knowledge entity summarization
  • Relation extraction of knowledge entity
  • Modeling function of knowledge entity citation
  • Informetrics with machine learning (including deep learning)
  • Informetrics with natural language processing or computational linguistics
  • Informetrics with computer vision
  • Informetrics with other related AI techniques (e.g., information retrieval)
  • AI for science of science
  • AI for science, technology, & innovation
  • AI for research policy and strategic management
  • Application of knowledge entity extraction
  • Applications of AI-empowered informetrics

 

Programme

1st Keynote: Scientometrics in the Era of Large Language Models

Abstract: This keynote concerns the emergence of large language models, most recently and popularly embodied ChatGPT. These models have been trained using deep learning algorithms on a massive corpus of text data collected from sources across the web. These models demand a fundamental change in the conduct of scientometric research. In this speech I describe why I think such changes are necessary, and how such research changes may be enacted.

Dr. Scott W. Cunningham is a Professor of Technology Policy at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, UK. He is one of the editor-in-chief of the scientific journal Technological Forecasting and Social Change. He is interested in data and governance, and has published both on data use in the public sector, as well as the governance of new technologies including machine learning. Prior to joining Strathclyde he was appointed at the Delft University of Technology. Prior to his academic career he worked as a data scientist in industry, earning national and international patents for his work on automation and pricing. He has previously published books on technology mining, technology management, and technology forecasting with Alan Porter (professor emeritus, Georgia Tech). His current book, commissioned by Edward Elgar (2025) concerns the politics of technological change.

2nd Keynote: Large Language Models for Information Retrieval and Extraction

Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have changed AI and in many ways determine what AI is and can do. Though there have been many applications and uses of LLMs, we will discuss what LLMs mean for information retrieval and extraction. Already an LLM is used in Google ranking. How else can LLMs be used in these areas and what can and can’t they do.
