The second Semantic Data Mining (SEDAMI) workshop will be co-located with ECAI 2023. The
workshop is planned to take place in Krakow, Poland, 30 September - 1 October 2023.

Objectives
========
The theme of the SEDAMI workshop is semantic data mining. With this workshop we aim to get an
insight into the current status of research in this area. We focus mainly on methods that allow
include/utilize/exploit semantic information and domain knowledge in machine learning and data
mining, focussing on domains and research questions that have not been deeply investigated so far to
improve standard machine learning solutions.
We encourage contributions on methods, techniques and applications that are both domain-specific
but also transversal to different application domains. In particular, we solicit contributions that aim to
focus on semantic data mining for providing and/or enhancing interpretability, the introduction and
upgrading of knowledge, as well as enhancing explanations.

Topics of interest
=============
We encourage receiving papers related to the following topics, which include but are not limited to:
● Introduction of semantics into the data mining process
● Explainable artificial intelligence and domain knowledge
● Declarative domain knowledge
● Declarative data mining
● Declarative explainable artificial intelligence
● Integration of causal machine learning and expert knowledge
● Neuro-symbolic artificial intelligence
● Knowledge modeling and data mining
● Feature engineering for transparency and explanation
● Knowledge-based data mining approaches
● Knowledge-graphs in data mining
● Interpretable models in data mining
● Role of explanations in data mining
● Inductive logic programming and data mining
● Transparent and hybrid models in data mining
● Human in the loop of the data mining process
● Role of Linked Open Data in data mining
● Applications of all of the above

Submission
=========
We are accepting short papers – 5-6 pages with references, and long papers – 10-12 pages including
references. The papers need to be prepared in CEUR-WS format (see below).
We are planning to make workshop proceedings available via CEUR-WS. A post workshop journal
publication is considered.
All submitted papers must
* be written in English;
* contain author names, affiliations, and email addresses;
* be formatted according to the CEUR-WS template (Download)
* be in PDF (make sure that the PDF can be viewed on any platform).
