Abstract

As a continuous effort for organizing discussions and providing possible theories and techniques to deal with the barriers for knowledge processing at Web scale, the 2013 International Workshop on Web-scale Knowledge Representation, Retrieval and Reasoning (Web-KR 2013) was held in conjunction with the 2013 ACM International Conference on Information and Knowledge Management (CIKM 2013) on November 1st, 2013 at Burlingame, CA, United States. This is the 4th version of the Web-KR workshop. As in previous workshops under the same title, accepted papers of this workshop cover many important topics in the field. This year, the contributions focus on multi-faceted understanding of Web knowledge sources, Web entity linking, deep Web knowledge acquisition, and Web-scale stream reasoning. Many new approaches are proposed to deal with these problems in the context of large scale Web resources. This summary introduces the major contributions of accepted papers in the Web-KR 2013 workshop. Copyright is held by the author/owner(s).
