About Workshop:

Scientific documents such as research papers, patents, books, or technical reports are some of the most valuable resources of human knowledge. At the AAAI-24 Workshop on Scientific Document Understanding (SDU@AAAI-24), we aim to gather insights into the recent advances and remaining challenges in scientific document understanding. Researchers from related fields are invited to submit papers on the recent advances, resources, tools, and upcoming challenges for SDU.

Topics of Interest:

The goal of the SDU workshop is to gather insights into recent advances and remaining challenges in scientific document understanding. To this end, the topics of interest for this workshop include but are not limited to:

- Information extraction and information retrieval for scientific documents
- Question answering and question generation for scholarly documents
- Word sense disambiguation, acronym identification, expansion, and definition extraction
- Developing LLMs/generative AI models specific to scientific domains
- Instruction tuning and in-context learning with LLMs for scientific documents
- Document summarization, text mining, document topic classification, and machine reading comprehension for scientific documents
- Graph analysis applications including knowledge graph construction and representation, graph reasoning, and query knowledge graphs
- Multi-modal and multi-lingual scholarly text processing
- Biomedical image processing, scientific image plagiarism detection, and data visualization
- Code/Pseudo-code generation from text and image/diagram captioning
- New language understanding resources such as new syntactic/semantic parsers, language models, or techniques to encode scholarly text
- Survey or analysis papers on scientific document understanding and new tasks and challenges related to each scientific domain
- Factuality, data verification, and anti-science detection

Submission Details:

The papers should be written in English using the CEUR template (https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/template-for-submissions-to-ceu...). Authors can also submit supplementary materials, including technical appendices, source codes, datasets, and multimedia appendices. All submissions, including the main paper and its supplementary materials, should be fully anonymized. All papers will be double-blind peer-reviewed.

SDU accepts two types of papers (Note: we don't enforce any hard page limit):

- Long technical papers with a recommended length of up to 10 pages + references
- Short papers with a recommended length of between 3 and 5 pages + references

Two reviewers with the same technical expertise will review each paper. Authors of the accepted papers will present their work in either the Oral or Poster session. At least one author of each accepted paper should register at the conference and present the work at the workshop. Submission should be done electronically in PDF format via Microsoft CMT (https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/SDU2024).

Note: SDU will not accept any submission from other mechanisms such as Email.

Authors are kindly invited to submit papers at the fourth edition of SDU@AAAI-24.
