LBD 2020 CALL FOR PAPERS
The First International Workshop on Literature-Based Discovery
Discovering New Frontiers
11 - 14 May 2020, Singapore
Literature-based discovery (LBD) addresses a key knowledge discovery challenge of the Big Data era: How to generate novel and actionable knowledge from vast, diverse, and seemingly disconnected fragments of information. Incorporating state-of-the-art data science, natural language processing, and network science techniques, LBD methods and algorithms have the potential to revolutionize drug discovery and repurposing, gene-disease association discovery, and many other applications in bioinfomatics and other fields.
LBD 2020 is the first international forum fully dedicated to literature-based discovery research. It is an excellent opportunity for active researchers and LBD enthusiasts to share their ongoing work, to form collaborations, and to identify grand research challenges. The workshop theme “Discovering New Frontiers” not only reflects its increasingly pervasive applications, but also the timely re-thinking of its future directions. The workshop shall be an important milestone this field.
Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference.

Publication
To encourage free discussion of new ideas and works in progress, accepted papers need not be ready for formal publication. However, if authors would like their papers to be considered for the LNCS/LNAI post Proceedings of PAKDD Workshops published by Springer (indexed by EI Compendex, ISI Proceedings, and Scopus), please indicate this at the time of submission, and the Program Committee will review the submission for suitability, including suggestions for revision/expansion of the paper. The journal Frontiers in Research Metrics and Analytics is also planning an Article Collection on literature-based discovery; details on how authors may submit their papers to this Collection will be forthcoming.
