Event Series Completion Group Project 2023

Task

1. Find CEUR-WS related academic events in Wikidata
2. Some events have the property 179 (part of the series)
3. For all events that don't have this property find whether,
   • they are part of a conference/workshop series or
   • they are a standalone event
4. Match events to their event series and update the property.

Progress

• Two main approaches
  • Match directly based on attributes (title, acronym)
  • Match through DBLP
• Extracted relevant events from Wikidata
• Implemented various matching-algorithms mostly comparing titles
• Parsed and scraped events and their series from dblp that are related to CEUR-WS
  • Extracted meta-information, event-information, event-series-information
  • Matched conferences to their series through dblp
• More information can be found in the final presentation
• 

Structure

• 
  • The excalidraw information is embedded in the file
• The main module is eventseries
• Test are found in eventseries/src/tests
  • More information about dblp can be found in eventseries/src/main/dblp
  • Resources like .json, .pickle or .csv files are located in eventseries/src/main/resources
• Dataexploration and experiments are within notebooks in notebooks
  • Data used within the notebooks should be placed in data

Known Issues

• Classification of events
  • A lot of workshops are classified as conference and not academic workshop
  • Some conferences are classified as workshops, likely due to missing disambiguation between the conference and a workshop hosted at that conference
