[AISWorld] [Deadline Extension] CFP: KM4LAW-Knowledge Management and Process Mining fo Law Workshop @FOIS 2023

[Emilio Sulis]

Dear all,

we extend the CFP deadline (*May 27, 2023*) of the second edition of the
KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT AND PROCESS MINING FOR LAW - KM4Law Workshop that will
be held in Sherbrooke (Québec, Canada) on July 17-20, co-located with the
13th International Conference on Formal Ontology in Information Systems (
FOIS 2023).

Workshop website: https://km4law.di.unito.it/

*Artificial Intelligence* (AI), *Knowledge Modeling* (KM) and* Information
Extraction* (IE) methods are increasingly important for legal informatics.
A recent research line is engaged with the analysis of legal event logs
through *Process Mining* (PM) techniques, i.e. for regulatory compliance
checking, mining legal event logs for process discovery, and applying
predictive process monitoring on legal cases.
There is a rising volume of research works on the limits and unexplored
opportunities offered by AI for the representation and extraction of
knowledge in the *legal domain*. Typical research objectives may include
classification of legal sources, legal design and legal ontologies,
similarity among norms and clustering, process mining for legal compliance,
mining of legal event logs for process discovery, prediction and support in
decision-making processes, semi-automatic legal interpretation, mapping of
evolving legal concepts and definitions over time, information extraction
and classification, detection of linguistic phenomena and patterns in legal
sources, multilingual alignment of concepts of domestic and international
legal sources, extraction and analysis of legal references and network
analysis, analogical reasoning and compliance checking.

The *Knowledge Management and process mining for Law* (KM4LAW) workshop
intends to be a forum to address the current and emerging challenges of
legal informatics from a broad perspective.

TOPICS OF INTEREST
We welcome contributions related to digital justice and digital law in
general, as well as considering modelling and conceptualization features.
Potential topics are:

   - Legal ontologies, visual law, legal design, and correlated themes
   - (Multilingual) Thesauri, vocabularies, and taxonomies in the legal area
   - Entity Recognition and Disambiguation
   - Training and Using Embeddings for legal text
   - Computational models of argumentation for legal data
   - Knowledge Base Population
   - Question Answering, Dialogue and Discourse Analysis, Query
   Understanding
   - Link Analysis, Relation and Event Extraction
   - Combining Legal Text with Structured Data
   - Legal Text Summarization and Generation
   - Emerging applications in legal data & knowledge engineering
   - Process mining for legal compliance
   - Mining legal event logs for process discovery
   - Predictive process monitoring on legal cases
   - Natural language processing techniques and systems for legal documents
   - Identification of legal semantic roles and extraction of named entities
   - Automated knowledge extraction from legal text corpora
   - Experimental results using and adapting NLP methods for legal data
   - Information retrieval and multimedia search for legal documents
   - Multilingual alignments, retrieval, extraction and analysis of legal
   sources
   - Linked data and knowledge graphs in the legal domain
   - Classification or clustering of law
   - Domain-Specific Visual Modeling Language (DSVML) and law
